2020 Vanceva World of Color Awards - Honorable Mention
The multi-theater Taipei Performing Arts Center in Taiwan consists of three theaters attached to a central cube that consolidates the stages, backstages and support spaces into a single, efficient whole. The exterior resembles a silver planet docking into a huge cube made of S-shaped, laminated curved glass in Vanceva’s Earth Tone, Shale Grey PVB that was fabricated by CRICURSA.
The annealed glass measures 5 meters in height with a 330 mm radius and 8 x 8, 10 x 10, and 12 x 12 laminated assemblies. The combination interlayer of clear PVB, XIR 72-47 solar control film and Shale Grey Vanceva PVB provides solar control performance and natural light ingress.
A neutral colorway emphasizes the dramatic architecture, and the curves of the laminated glass echo the vibrancy of performing arts through movement. As light passes through the glass curves, a dazzling, twinkling effect makes the cultural center’s exterior design a source of enjoyment for theatergoers and the general public.
The Vanceva colors interlayer system enhances the style of laminated safety glass like never before—combining color and white interlayers to produce more than 69,000 transparent, translucent, or solid colored glass combinations - creating just the right look and ambience. In fact, no other PVB interlayer system offers the ability to achieve the range of colors and varied translucency in glass that Vanceva does.
