VISION 26 — HIGH LIGHT
Have new materials and technologies assisted
you in the process of re-invention?
MJ It’s fair to say that the technology of new materials
has come a long way. We couldn’t have done this building
20 years ago and the quality of glass on this project
creates new possibilities.
What in particular appealed about the Viridian glass
you specified here?
MH We have used it successfully on previous projects,
so we were aware of its high performance and visual
characteristics. It allowed us to achieve the required
thermal performance whilst maximising daylight.
