Believed to be the first of its type in the world, the flowing shape of the shopping centre required the castings to be flat or formed with single or compound curved profiles. Each weighing around 27kg, the panels were cast in aluminium to remarkable geometric tolerances to ensure a perfect aesthetic finish to the very striking building. "Casting these panels, each only 10mm thick, was made possible by the unique tooling methodology we created to enable the fine changes in geometry and to ensure no finishing was required on the front or sides of the panel," said James Grainger, director of Bridgnorth, UK-based Grainger & Worrall, a company with an excellent reputation for the production of cast components for the automotive and Motorsport industries. "This project has opened the eyes of architects as to the possibility of using castings for their aesthetic qualities on the face of buildings and to the potential the process can offer them for new and exciting building finishes."
