CUPACLAD® Design ASCENT: volume and movement

cupaclad design ascent

The CUPA PIZARRAS R&D team focuses in developing new solutions in natural slate. CUPACLAD Design is the result of their work, a group of ever growing concepts which show the boundless possibilities of natural slate rainscreen cladding systems.

The best way to cover and isolate facades, now offers us a new concept: Ascent. This design is constructed by combining two types of slate:  40 x 20cm rhomboid, and 50 x 25 trapezoid shaped natural slates.

Slates are fixed with 4 stainless steel flat headed screws, specially designed for natural slate by our R&D team. Each piece has 4 fasteners to fix them perfectly. Ascent, the fourth CUPACLAD Design concept released to the public proposes a dynamic style based on simple geometric shapes.

When applied to the facade of a tower this new concept creates dynamism and volume with a combination of organic shapes.

This new design seeks to show the possibilities of slate through different shapes. Especially designed for high buildings like towers, where volume and movement sensation are reinforced. Besides, the architect can create different types of spaces freely to show his ideas and his imagination.

The main theme for ARCHITECT@WORK UK 2018 is light. To honour this the SCIN Gallery will present LIGHT FANTASTIC, an exhibition that explores how light reveals itself and affects our interaction with materials.
