Here clients can live an e x p e r i e n c e t h a t i s b o t h r a re a n d exceptional. In Hotel Puerta América patrons discover the best in design and architecture where light, textures and fittings work together to gratify the eyes and the senses. Each of the 342 rooms in this five-star hotel beckon the client to enjoy large numbers of shapes and materials. Each floor was entrusted to a different architect. T Located near the business district and the main thoroughfares of the Spanish capital, the hotel stands out first and foremost by its outstanding facade, the work of French architect Jean Nouvel. The hotel front consists of two asymmetric 13-floor wings opening out at 150° onto the city, around a triangular service shaft with transparent elevators, beneath a cap symbolizing the headpiece of the Statue of Liberty.

Jean Nouvel used the same text in every language on blinds that fold and unfold at will that were his choice to drape the bedroom window basements. The building has its colours too, going from yellow in the south to blue in the north, via orange, scarlet, purple and violet. A magnificent architectural mission but also a veritable technical challenge for the Ferrari ® Group laboratory that developed six special colour shades for the Précontraint® Color Design range. Our technicians developed a special colour chart and carried out aging tests ARCHITECTURE NEWS WORLDWIDE to ensure the colours will stand up to UV and be long-lasting. “It’s just the sort of project we like to tackle. It proves the technical qualities of our products but also highlights the reactivity of our specification service and the work of the lab teams involved”, stressed Pascal Nordé, head of the Ferrari® Group’s solar protection market. On the borderline between solar protection and architectural textiles the project also revealed the richness of the Ferrari® range. ■ M AY 06 ■ in this number: • INTERNATIONAL: Special infrastructure textiles. • SWITZERLAND: Soltis® 86 goes to the museum. • THE NETHERLANDS: Batyline®, a screen for a showcase.

Let’s take a little tour around some successful projects of the past two years, then home in on the unique Ferrari Group technology. small teams. This time factor was of considerable importance for the Karaiskakis site, as it was too for the Faro stadium in Portugal where several Euro 2004 matches were played. Lords Cricket Club (London - UK) - 2005 n recent years technical textile solutions have often won the day in stadium roofing projects. It’s true there’s no shortage of convincing arguments. Project managers and contracting authorities most often explain their choice by mentioning aesthetics, flexible shapes, lightness and brightness, transparency and resistance but also respect for the environment. I ■ Aesthetics and freedom in the choice of shapes Only textile-covered structures enable such diversity of shapes whatever the sizes involved, and the architect’s inspiration is fully respected right down to the most minute details. Thus it was with the Karaiskakis Stadium that required revamping for the 2004 Olympics; the membrane covering the beam ends did a perfect job — it snuggles round the metal shoulders just like the enviable "hang" of a tailor-made jacket. 2 - M A Y 0 6 ■ ■ Safety, long life and long-lasting development Known and renowned worldwide by building professionals, Ferrari membranes are made using the unique patented Précontraint® technology that guarantees exceptional design stability, long-term controlled behavior and homogeneity from batch to batch. Numerous qualities that can be summed up by a telling argument — proven reliability over the short and long term. In the field of fire safety, Précontraint® membranes are Fire rated M2, B1 or Euroclass. Lastly, architectural textiles can easily and rapidly be taken down without any pollution and the fabrics are then 100% recycled in the Ferrari® Texyloop plant. A perfect illustration of this is the Lords Cricket Club structure that has recently been completely rejuvenated with Précontraint® 1002 Fluorinated ® T2, while leaving the recycling of the original membrane in the capable hands of Texyloop®. ■ Lightness, brightness and transparency Permanent zenithal lighting spreading across whole surfaces is a primary characteristic of architectural textile projects: this means that such areas benefit from real added value in terms of well-being. What’s more, the twin-curved design is synonymous with reduced numbers of load-bearing structures, thereby opening the way to broad, free spans. The David Beckham Academy building in London, designed to welcome 15,000 children has a very wide free span and includes two full-size soccer pitches under a 100-foot (30m) high ceiling. ■ Swift implementation and long term adaptability Workshop making-up of textile structures enables the assembly of large panels that can be deployed in record time on site by w w w . f e r r a r i - t e x t i l e s . c o m Karaiskakis, Olympics 2004 PRECONTRAINT Formula 1 circuit (Istanbul), 2005 Faro Stadium, EURO 2004 FC - Dallas - 2005 David Beckham Academy - 2005 MingHang / Shanghai / CHINA Faro / PORTUGAL Dallas - Texas / UNITED STATES London / GREAT BRITAIN Fabric reference / Surface area Fabric reference / Surface area Fabric reference / Surface Fabric reference / Surface area Précontraint® 1202 T2 and Précontraint® 402 3,700 m2 + 1,110 m2 Précontraint® 1302 Fluotop® T2 10,168 m2 Précontraint® 1002 T2 400 m2 Architect / Study Bureau Membrane Architect Architect / Study Bureau Membrane Précontraint® 1002 S, single skin outer membrane 15,800 m2 of floor surface Mr Su Xu-ling (Shangai), Tong Ji Architectural Institute AARQ Atelier de Arquitechtura (Lisbon), W.S.

This choice was imposed by the desire to preserve the painter's fragile paintings. But looking beyond the splendor of the collections and the originality of the project, the Bern event was also architectural, with a unique creation by architect Renzo Piano who rose to the challenge of "creating a space that reflects naturalness — something Mother Nature herself could have created, but didn't". The Soltis® 86 role in this event was significant, especially in the protection of very exposed works… "we had to be part of an aesthetic project while at the same time helping to combat direct glare". n Berne, the Zentrum Paul Klee [Paul Klee Center] consists of three artificial hills. The central hill is home to the Ber n painter's works, the North hill contains a multi-purpose hall, an auditorium and a children's museum, while in the South is a research center. With some 4,000 works, the Zentrum Paul Klee houses the world's biggest collection of paintings, watercolours and drawings representing each of Paul Klee's creative periods. The guiding mission of the Center is to scientifically display the artistic, pedagogical and theoretical works of Paul Klee, with understandable presentations for visitors. I ■ Atmosphere and transparency Renzo Piano's wish was therefore to create a floating atmosphere of light and transparency. But total mastery of lighting levels was also required — especially in the exhibition areas — to avoid jeopardizing the quality and lifespan of highly light-sensitive works of art (see box). This stipulation — 86 • For specific applications, Soltis® 86 (23 colours) is the ideal textile for a balance between essential solar protection and open-work facades that allow light to filter through. • Soltis® 86 eliminates up to 86 percent of solar rays, thereby contributing to the creation of bright, high quality ambiences and heat management of buildings. • Soltis ® 86 also provides increased visibility toward the exterior while ensuring much-appreciated visual comfort in many different situations. 4 - M A Y 0 6 ■ w w w . f e r r a r i - t e x t i l e s . c o m together with the unusual geometry of the buildings where 150-meter-long glazed surfaces soar at their highest points to 19 meters — gives an idea of the importance of the choice of fabrics and the challenge of installing them. ■ A light, stable luminous filter This is why, to avoid direct noonday light, the museum is fitted on the west facade with broad Soltis® screens that filter and soften the light. The challenge lay also in the height of the fabrics, so the natural choice was Soltis® for its stability qualities, especially diagonally. "Soltis® had the best lightness to stability to light filter ratio…" explains Morten Petersen, the architect charged with the project. ■ Technical and esthetic blending If we add to these technical qualities the presence in our range of shades of twin aluminum and gray-beige that specifically meet the wishes of the famous Italian architect, it's easy to understand why the Paul Klee museum has confirmed the efficiency of Soltis® textiles for solar protection of our cultural heritage buildings. GO EASY ON THE EYES! Restorers recommend lighting values of 50 to 100 lux for the works of Paul Klee. You should know that on a sunny July day values of 100,000 lux are frequently measured. > Soltis®… nicely exposed! Soltis® composite textiles are no newcomers to museography.

A high-class Dutch car dealer created an architectural event when he built the Cockpit, an outsize building installed beside the A2 highway. And incidentally gave Batyline® textiles a wonderful opportunity to show off their qualities. this single-shape building where no two parts are the same size. Ferrari Link's permanent homogeneous elasticity guarantees highly accurate and consequently good-looking installation. Its synthetic components also ensure a longer-lasting performance than natural latex straps. ■ Aesthetics and performances Polyned brought to bear its more than thirty years of experience in outdoor and indoor architectural textile projects to create a true design achievement. "The design of the site itself encouraged us to turn to flexible materials", Polyned's project manager Mr. Molenaar explained. "For the interior — the showroom where the vehicles are — we recommended Batyline® for its qualities of transparency, esthetics and flexibility not to mention its fire rating, an essential factor in this type of project", Mr. Molenaar went on. He also appreciated the mobilization of the Ferrari Group’s specification department on this project.

Swinging round a long curving stretch they discover a spectacular building whose willowy lines slice out into space with a look in perfect harmony with the universe of fine automobiles. This complex however is no Pino Farina film set, it's the work of Oosterhuis the architect. Oosterhuis dreamed this one up for Hessing, a concessionaire for Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Maserati and Lotus among others. The structure is a jewel-case worthy of such automobiles. This is a building whose lines and materials had to evoke the world of elitist thoroughbred cars while also creating a genuine sound barrier. Thus was born the idea of a cockpit-style building. To carry out their mission the architects M 6 - M A Y 0 6 ■ took a close peek into the world of cars, aeronautics and water sports. "We studied the streamlined shapes and concepts of several cars, motorboats and jets that minimize air resistance", explained Professor Kas Oosterhuis. ■ An exceptional project that required equally exceptional techniques and products. The choice of Batyline® to drape the walls facing the glass front was based on its excellent design stability and its easy application to large complex surfaces. The 'fabric' finish of Batyline's matt finish open weave texture surface integrates perfectly into these sober but luminous volumes while at the same time providing essential acoustic absorption performances.

We had to be sure too that the material would be unconditionally accepted, both technically and in terms of scheduling. Working for Daimler (Automotive Group HQ) in Utrecht in the Netherlands, Stamisol® Color membranes were chosen for a project to construct two administrative buildings within an existing complex. Environmental integration was a core concern for architect Roberto Eduard Meyer and Multiplan promoter Rene J Raaijmakers. R.R.: For us, as project managers, these were indeed crucial elements. But our ambition was to strike out beyond the technical requirements. What we wanted was to produce a building that would blend perfectly into the environment and that would also, as time went by, enhance the image of the building's owner. We were also aware of the comfort and long-term safety aspects. Stamisol® directly contributed to achieving these goals. We were completely won over by its reliability, plus all of its features and its undeniable aesthetic qualities. Mr. Meyer, you designed these two administration buildings. Would you like to tell us a little more about your concept? Roberto Eduard Meyer: We had two huge structural shapes to build that had to blend into the environment. That's why we decided to use glass because it would reflect the immediate surroundings. My aim was to create a visually multidimensional facade by merging the reflections produced by the sun with the pure effects of the colour and the silkscreen printed glass. You chose to marry glass with Stamisol® Color membranes; what led you to make this choice? R.E.M.: Multidimensional facade cladding interests me most of all because of the interaction between the various inter-supporting layers. We tried out various models in order to see which one would best produce the effects of a multidimensional frontage. The combination of glass with green and gray Stamisol® Color rain shields allowed us to toggle freely between light and shadows. This gives the observer an impression of constant and unpredictable changes. This in my opinion is what really brings the facade to life. > FOCUS : Stamisol® Color Stamisol® Color is a breathing, rainproof, windproof, UV-resistant membrane. Stamisol® Color comes in 9 shades and is designed to fit in perfectly behind suspended and ventilated facades. The wide choice of colours allows architects considerable design freedom. Stamisol® Color is a polyacrylic facade screen that comes with a 10-year warranty. glass was screen printed and positioned around the building like an uncut ribbon. Mr Meyer, Mr Raaijmakers, what were the actual key points of this project? R.E.M.: For Multiplan, the developer, it's clear that the main preconditions were reliability, the lifespan of the building and permanent UV resistance. As well as the operating characteristics we also had to submit detailed Features: • open to diffusion • compatible with all supports • long-term UV resistance • can be glued on architecture T H E PR O J E C T D E TA I L S Architects Meyer en van Schooten, architects, Amsterdam, the Netherlands Project Promoter Multiplan, NL-`s Hertogenbosch Surface area 5,200 m2 How exactly was Stamisol® Color applied? R.E.M.: It was glued directly onto a substructure fixed by aluminum pins; this structure also maintains the insulation in place. The glass elements were attached using slightly sloping horizontal sections so as to obtain the required visual effects.
