there are many other fabricators with similar products and information. posted at the bottom is, for example, a page from the KAWNEER website for a “traditional curtainwall” (meaning a stick glazed system) with downloadable details and system drawings indicating the various elements (mullions) needed to construct the desired system / glass wall assembly.

summer recap

it has been a while since the last post, and lots of things happened since then. summer brought new projects, new opportunities, important developments in ongoing projects, and above all, brought the dos54 team to Brazil.

mid july was the date for the field trip to são paulo, for the whole team to visit the ongoing works dos54 is working on in the city. this trip saw the official farewell to adrià (our QS intern), that after almost a year with us, has decided to go a step forward and study architecture, but it also meant the official welcome to gianluca who, hopefully, will stay with us for a long time.

unfortunately, IMS façade was not advanced as we would have liked, and the site only worked as a cool background for the new team photo.

p.e. residence, however is walking  (more or less) much on schedule, and the skylight was pretty advanced for being worth to pay a visit.

a week is not much, though, and the time flew between feasting, driving and sunbathing.

in the professional side, these three months have taken dos54 to panama and argentina in the pursuit of new projects and opportunities, the façade works for blue towers galeria and isidora el bosque have been concluded, the works for the maison de l'histoire europeènne has been almost completed, and we managed to get some photos of the process of the façade erection for the project cuarzo reforma, one of the very firsts projects we developed under the dos54 name.  

dos54 was also awarded during these months with four different projects with different scopes.

in cooperation with catalan aluminium supplier tecalum [1], dos54 had the chance to work in africa, with two projects in algeria providing, mostly, calculations, and another one in congo, where the whole package was offered, including taking measurements on site, in brazzaville.

along with barcelona based architecture office alotark [2], dos54 is developing the façade for the new hq of french aluminium spplier kawneer [3]. the project features different façade types, including double skin, polycarbonate claddigns, and cable truss system.

expect new updates on these new things in the following entries.

MARZINIDESIGN - Interiodesign

Il balcone per le nostre case cittadine è molto importante; ci fornisce un pezzo di esterno tutto nostro dove poterci rilassare e ammirare con più libertà, di una semplice finestra, la vita che ci circonda. Ma ha anche il suo lato negativo, tra i permessi per la costruzione, la pulizia e non ultimo la facilità per i malviventi di entrare nelle nostre abitazioni.

Una interessante soluzione ci viene fornita dal produttore francese di alluminio Kawneer con la sua finestra Bloomframe, che all’occorrenza, con un semplice tasto, si trasforma in balcone ingrandendo lo spazio della nostra dolce casa.

The more I stare at that "flood wall" built over at Kawneer, the more I wonder if they're only concerned about the business and not the people that live around it.
