Teijin building facade celebrates anniversary
Teijin has announced that the modern wing of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam featuring the world’s largest composite facade, made with Teijin Group’s Twaron para-aramid fibre and Tenax carbon fibre, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
Teijin, which operates group companies in Europe under a regional headquarters located in Amsterdam, has been sponsoring the museum since 2007 as a cultural initiative inspired by the company’s philosophy of growing and evolving in harmony with society.
The design by Benthem Crouwel Architects - widely known as the ‘bathtub’ due to its distinctive shape - features a smooth, seamless and shiny white facade and canopy incorporating 185 composite panels made with the Teijin Group's Twaron and Tenax advanced fibre materials. Measuring 100m by 25m and seemingly floating in the air, this world’s largest composite facade is a striking contrast to the museum’s original neo-renaissance building.

Editor's comment: Weather with you
My work office feels unusually cold. As I type this, the BBC weather says it’s 10˚C outside. Hmm, is that typical for the end of April? Anyway, our landlord has deemed that with Spring now in the air, it’s time to turn off the heating and save money. This presents a challenge typing when I can’t feel my fingers.
