ARCHITECTURAL STEEL CONSTRUCTION STEEL AND GLASS STRUCTURES<br />

FORM, FUNCTION AND DESIGN<br />

Monolith, Expo 02 (as a project consortium)<br />

Operating in architectural and design steel<br />

construction allows us to contribute to projects<br />

which are of particular interest. The attraction<br />

here is to realise a development whose main<br />

purpose is aesthetic and is to a large extent<br />

free of any type of functionality whatsoever.<br />

JAKEM <strong>AG</strong> develops one-off customised<br />

designs for buildings and landscapes and<br />

processes steel for artistic and sculptural use.<br />

LIGHTNESS AND TRANSPARENCY: STEEL AND GLASS<br />

Canopy, Wohlen Cantonal School, Switzerland<br />

With a combination of steel and glass, the<br />

relationship between the interior and exterior<br />

and between individual sections of a building<br />

becomes both visible and tangible. Transpa-<br />

rency is created when steel and glass are used<br />

in combination, while the aesthetic appeal of<br />

slender steel elements used together with the<br />

wealth of design options available for glass<br />

represents the utmost in creative freedom.<br />

JAKEM <strong>AG</strong> erects roof structures in steel and<br />

glass as complete solutions as well as large-<br />

scale canopies in glass or sheet metal.<br />
