\"Distinct<\/a>
\nThe Distinct Ambiguity exhibition in Berlin\u2019s \u201cHaus am Waldsee\u201d made its rounds at the AIT ArchitekturSalons in Munich, Cologne and Rotterdam. The exhibit, designed by GRAFT architects, featured a three-dimensional mirrored Dibond installation.
\n
\n\"Distinct<\/a>Dibond mirror was specified by the architects, \u201cAlthough it\u2019s very thin, this material has astonishing structural strength,\u201d said architect Wolfram Putz. \u201cWhat\u2019s more, the reverse, which in this case is mill-finished with a clear coat, displays a high-grade aesthetic.\u201d The supplier of the silver mirror finish specified by GRAFT was ThyssenKrupp Plastics.<\/a>
\n
\nThe exhibit installation was completed by two Berlin-based installers, Reproplan Berlin oHG<\/a> and Kathrein Tischlerei & Innenausbau GmbH<\/a>; with Reproplan being responsible for the printing of the material. The direct printing of the panels was done within very precise specifications by the architects who\u2019s work according to ThyssenKrupp Plastics, \u201c[Showed] a district of New Orleans devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the artwork refers directly to a reconstruction project of GRAFT architects in the cradle of jazz. The architects further explain the exhibit\u2019s purpose was to raise awareness and attract sponsors for their reconstruction project.
\n
\n\"Distinct<\/a>Computer drawings, supplied by GRAFT, were given to Kathrein Tischlerei & Innenausbau GmbH to specify the distinct cutting parameters of the material. Interestingly, Kathrein converted the drawings into \u201ccutting commands\u201d which allowed the material to be automatically cut, via CNS milling machine, into 40 distinct shapes.
\n
\nThe team at Kathrein, interviewed by ThyssenKrupp, explained their biggest challenge of the project was assembly. According to Managing Director Thomas Kathrein, \u201cOur job was the technical implementations. The supporting structure was to be as inconspicuous, transparent and \u201cunattached\u201d as possible.\u201d
\n
\nAndreas Horn of ThyssenKrupp Plastics in Berlin stated, \u201cThe mirror installation is an object lesson in Dibond\u2019s versatility and what it can be used for\u2026We\u2019re delighted that GRAFT architect are presenting an artwork made of precisely this material in such a prestigious exhibition.\u201d
