Description
RFR was appointed to work as façade specialist assisiting RDAI with the design of the store façades, offering a technical approach suited to the project context and guaranteeing the quality of the envelope system, its geometry and its implementation
The design of the structures comprises the façades, the store windows, the entrances and the footbridge connecting the shopping centre with the city. The design of the "voilette" wave-like canopy, a four-cornered pattern layout on a freeform geometry, required extensive geometric research.
