from inspiration to installation
Perhaps it’s an ability to be open, yet closed, at once. To reflect light directlyand indirectly, brilliantly and diffusely,together. To be rigid or flexible. Or, tobe geometrically simplistic at a distance, yet vexingly complex up close. Perhaps,it’s all of these unique characteristicsat work.Whatever the reason, what’s undeniableis woven metal fabric’s uncanny knackfor inspiring creative minds.Which is precisely where CambridgeArchitectural comes in: to ensure that architects and designers have the knowledge, products, systems,and support to transform visionary designs of today into lastingarchitectural realities of tomorrow.Welcome to CambridgeArchitectural.

CAMBRIDGE ENGINEERING<br />
Cambridge engineering professionals<br />
worked closely with Heery International,<br />
the design/build firm on the project;<br />
supplying them with working drawings<br />
for this huge mesh panel <strong>installation</strong> as well<br />
as structural attachment recommendations<br />
and load details. The final Cot<strong>to</strong>n Bowl<br />
exterior renovation specification incorporated<br />
334 Mid-Balance mesh panels measuring<br />
28”x50’ (41,120 sq. ft.) and 174 Pellican mesh<br />
panels measuring 26”x20’ (8,232 sq. ft.).<br />
All mesh panels were mounted in-tension<br />
utilizing Cambridge’s Eclipse attachment<br />
system.<br />
Says McClellan, “The stainless mesh<br />
allowed us <strong>to</strong> create form for the end<br />
zones and <strong>to</strong> provide a sense of enclosure,<br />
while allowing views out and in, as well<br />
as air circulation and ventilation through<br />
the system.”<br />
Engineers are motivated <strong>to</strong><br />
solve seemingly impossible<br />
puzzles. My job at Cambridge<br />
invites me <strong>to</strong> imagine every<br />
day what is possible – and<br />
create cus<strong>to</strong>mized fabrication<br />
and <strong>installation</strong> solutions <strong>to</strong><br />
bring ideas <strong>to</strong> life.<br />
