Bringing back the concept of a traditional bandstand, Flanagan Lawrence’s Acoustic Shells project has been recognised with an architecture award. The concrete seaside shelter and bandstand sited in a sunken garden beside the beach in Littlehampton, West Sussex, UK, picked up the AJ Small Projects Special Prize. The visually striking Acoustic Shells have been designed as an architecture that can represent


‘sound’, and the people that made it, according to Flanagan Lawrence. One shell faces the town and forms the principal bandstand. The acoustic design of the interior creates a refl ective surface to project the sound of the performers to the audience in the sunken garden. The other shell faces the beach and forms a more intimate shelter for listening to the sound of the sea or for buskers to perform facing the promenade. CLAD-kit.com keyword: Flanagan Lawrence

New technology using water defl ection tech- niques to create fan-shaped sheets of water results in an enhanced showering experience,


according to designer and manufacturer Methven. The New Zealand-based company has specifi cally engineered the patented ‘Aurajet’ technology for its new ‘Aio’ range. The showerhead’s hidden nozzles generate single jets of water that hit precisely engineered surfaces to produce a wide, even shower spray with no gaps and enhanced droplet density. Methven says this results in 20 per cent more total spray force and double the water coverage on the skin than traditional showers. It is also designed to generate greater warmth and use less water, with an estimated nine litres per minute. CLAD-kit.com keyword: Methven

A video graphic wall running the length of a 50m corridor has been recognised in a design awards ceremony. The Light Emissions designed and constructed wall at the General Electric Innovation Centre in Saudi Arabia was victorious in the ‘Light & Surface Interior’ category of the Surface Design Awards 2015. The video display consisted of 37mm resolution LED pixels with a black background, with the ability to render media as full speed video a central requirement. Clear polycar- bonate sheets covered the display, providing both protection and a lively ‘visual’ refl ective surface that blended the display content with ambient lighting. The corridor represents the spine of the General Electric facility, linking a reception, theatre and break-out rooms. CLAD-kit.com keyword: Light Emissions
