Skin of Architecture: Pattern 5

These are projects with perforated metal panels:

Mountain Dwellings, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2008 designed by BIG with JDS
The north and west facades are covered by perforated aluminium plates, which let in air and light to the parking area. The holes in the facade form a huge reproduction of Mount Everest. At day the holes in the aluminium plates will appear black on the bright aluminium, and the gigantic picture will resemble that of a rough rasterized photo. At night time the facade will be lit from the inside and appear as a photo negative in different colours as each floor in the parking area has different colours. -- ArchDaily

House 77, Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, 2010 designed by dIONISO LAB
At east, the house gets its identity. The intimacy is guaranteed by stainless steel panels, perforated with the “siglas poveiras”. These symbols are a proto-writing system once used as a way of communication and to mark personal and fishing belongings. Also, they were hereditary and constituted an important family legacy that was transmitted by inheritance through generations, evolving with new combinations. -- ArchDaily

Dream Downtown Hotel, New York City, New York, USA, 2011 designed by Handel Architects
the sloped façade was clad in stainless steel tiles, which were placed in a running bond pattern like the original mosaic tiles of Ledner’s Union building. New porthole windows were added, one of the same dimension as the original and one half the size, loosening the rigid grid of the previous design, while creating a new façade of controlled chaos and verve.
The tiles reflect the sky, sun, and moon, and when the light hits the façade perfectly, the stainless steel disintegrates and the circular windows appear to float like bubbles. The orthogonal panels fold at the corners, continuing the slope and generating a contrasting effect to the window pattern of the north façade. -- ArchDaily

Wintergarden Racade, Brisbane QLD, Australia, 2012 designed by Studio 505
... create a radically experiential composition, a complex and beautiful study of nature, geometry and layering that communicates the rich diversity of life. It is not an ‘illustration’ of nature nor is it merely an abstract pattern. The depth of engagement with these façades lies within this irresolvable ambiguity. -- ArchDaily

Stereoscopic House, Sentosa Island, Singapore, 2012 designed by Pencil Office
Water jet cut operable shades and an ironwood timber wrapper per formatively lowers heat gain while giving a dramatic elevation. In response to the tropical climate of Singapore, an additional layer of timber cladding is added to the roof, accommodating angular dimensions as well as minimizing heat transfer through the kalzip roof and into interior spaces below. -- ArchDaily

Golden Hall, Budapest, Hungary, 2012 designed by A4 Studio
In it’s external appearance we used only metal, in golden colour, referring to the former and present successes of the club. As the sun goes around the golden colour of the „hall-sculpture” is always changing hour by hour, day by day, season to season.In the facade the past and present champions are illustrated. The front-high figure of Áron Szilágyi illustrates the exact moment, when he won the Olympics. -- ArchDaily

Wembley WC Pavilion, Wembley, Greater London, UK, 2013 designed by Gort Scott
The base of the building will be constructed from concrete and will stand up to the anticipated knocks and scrapes of heavy use.  Above head-height the structure becomes a filigree, shiny metal screen, allowing for light and ventilation without letting views in. The perforated water-cut screen further creates the effect of a glowing lantern during the evening. -- ArchDaily
