i-Mesh Canopy, Dubai, UAE
Design: Werner Sobek

i-Mesh Expo 2020 Dubai Canopy
These canopies are made with an innovative textile fiber: 2.7 kilometers of retractable textile surfaces provide 52,500 square meters of lightness and technology, acting as a screen between land and sky. i-Mesh, a Made in Italy technical fabric, allows the realization of a high-performance cover for Expo’s promenade.
It can be called soft architecture: an ethereal, translucent “cloud” hanging between land and sky that protects from the heat during the day and transforms into a projection screen at night.

Carmen Würth Forum in Künzelsau
A second construction phase completes the Carmen Würth Forum for the Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG situated in the town of Künzelsau in southern Germany. The diverse range of functions further establishes the complex’s conceptual idea of a forum and allows the building to be open continuously, in particular due to its use as a museum.
