The Use of Aluminum Composite Panels in High Buildings Raises Safety Concerns for Firefighters | Led Aluminum Architectural Profile

Designed to be recessed into standard grid ceilings or suspended via cable, LumaStream Quadrallux EP22 is a low-voltage LED lighting fixture that’s dimmable, offering uniform illumination.

He was praised for his inventiveness, across a range of scales, using a range of materials. Heatherwick has a gift for discovering, in a commission for an object, the opportunity for an event: movement, spectacle, play. Bjarke Ingels, the Danish architect, who has collaborated with him, recently said that, unlike many designers, “Thomas is focussed on the jaw-dropping centerpiece—the ‘wow’ moment.” Heatherwick tends to achieve effect more through texture than through form—by, say, stitching or layering a multitude of near-identical parts to make a highly conspicuous whole. His sculpture for an atrium at the Wellcome Trust, in London, is made of a hundred and forty thousand suspended glass spheres, each the size of a plum, arranged into cloudlike forms. He has proposed building a footbridge entirely from a welded cluster of stainless-steel disks. His U.K. Pavilion for Expo 2010, in Shanghai, was a rounded cube formed from sixty thousand translucent acrylic rods that waved in the wind like bullrushes. The design was widely considered a triumph. Rowan Moore, the architecture critic of the London Observer, called it “outstandingly memorable,” noting that “we expect buildings neither to be hairy nor in motion.”

Ingels recently visited Heatherwick’s Cape Town project, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa. Its central space, carved out of an array of hundred-year-old concrete grain silos, is “jaw-droppingly beautiful,” Ingels said, but “insane” at a practical level. To afford it, “you almost have to starve the rest of the building.” To Ingels, this other space felt neglected: fire doors with push bars. “But it is also what makes it possible. It’s not a schmear of effort on everything. It’s ‘We’re going to pile up intention in this spot here.’ ” (Heatherwick’s Shanghai Expo pavilion took up a fifth of the available site; the rest was artificial turf.) Ingels added, with respect, “He is capable of putting forward bold ideas that most people would self-censor, because they want to come up with something that could actually happen.” Referring to the Vessel, he said, “It’s really wild to get away with that. That project could have died a billion times.”

Oregon and Oregon State renew their Civil War rivalry at 1 p.m. Friday at Reser Stadium. While it’s not one of the most decorated games in recent history, there’s always incentive and reason to pay attention.

How straight would you say uni-strut is? Not that extruded aluminum is known to be all that straight, but I’ve often considered uni-strut and wondered how it compares.

After this meeting, Related had a shortlist of three—Heatherwick, Kapoor, and Plensa—each of whom was asked to produce a proposal. (“I paid one sculptor five hundred thousand dollars,” Ross recalled. “I paid another two hundred and fifty thousand.”) I recently spoke to Plensa on the phone. “Cities are not only buildings but people,” he told me, in a soft voice. He said that, when contemplating Hudson Yards, he “felt it was important, in this huge geometry, to try to offer something more organic, to create a space to breathe.” His design took the form of giant iron leaves—“to remind us of nature”—that visitors could walk beneath, after passing through a fine curtain of water. He told me, “It was a very poetical project.”

What’s colloquially called "burn-in" is actually, with OLED, uneven aging. They don’t "burn in" as much as they "burn down." The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, right? OLED pixels very, very slowly get dimmer as they’re used. In most cases this isn’t an issue since you’re watching varied content and all the pixels, on average, get used the same amount. But if you’re only watching one thing, that one thing could cause uneven wear. Visually, and in the vernacular, this wear is called "burn-in." Uneven wear is more accurate, but also a lot more syllables.

In comparison with X-ray technology, aluminum alloy sorting and chemical analysis can be performed comprehensively and rapidly using handheld laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).

Their pick, Mr. Nicholson, was a virtual unknown until Uihlein millions made him viable overnight, starting with a $2 million donation in March of 2017 to a new “super PAC” seeking to elect him. At the time he had not even announced his candidacy.
