Thirty six twisted silver mesh ribbons serve to soften the geometry of the glass roof support steelwork in the main Mall. Three different types of fabric mesh are used to form a vertical screen wall above the new Hamleys store. However the main feature is a huge array of seventy five fabric sails suspended on frames above the remodelled Foodcourt. The sails provide welcome glare control, mask unsightly ductwork and help to provide a sense of place for the restaurant area.
Base Structures carried out a sunshading analysis as part of the design stage and used three fabrics with different translucencies to provide interest. The installation was carried out by our in-house rope access installation team at night to allow the Centre to trade continuously.
