Braided Concrete

Braided Concrete
In the park behind the National museum at Blasieholmen in Stockholm there is a new building. Two architect firms worked on this project, and the brains behind it was Stefano Mangili. But the real heroes here were the people from Strängbetong if you ask me. And apparently it is still a secret how they made the braided concrete pattern. I showed you a couple of photos last Summer from here and I remember Judith wanting to see more of the wall, so here it is.

Ha the secret sits in the concrete formwork. It looks great indeed.

That is truly amazing. They have made a plain, box-shaped building into a work of art.

Thank you!! I searched back to the summer photo,and it was a tantalizing tidbit. That is a fascinating piece of work. Thank you again.
