This course is part of the Metal Architecture Academy
The specification of metal roofs and walls has led to some of the country’s most colorful, evocative, and innovative buildings—from San Francisco’s Chase Center, home to the Golden State Warriors, to a Texas residence whose unique undulating roof reflects the sky and trees, to a 10-story building in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood that stands out with single-skin aluminum panels painted with organic pigments and pearlescent inks and formed into geometric angular shapes. This course dives into award-winning projects that illustrate the benefits of metal architecture for meeting environmental goals, ease of installation, performance, and cost effectiveness.
