This project aims to tell the story of the Wonnarua, who were the indigenous stewards of the land on which the New Maitland Hospital was built. The design uses pieces of terracotta to create the dynamic patterns with different tones, is an allegory representing the culture of these people. The pergola protects pedestrians from the sunlight as they make their way to the main entrance.

Flexbrick has created this innovative system that consists of a stainless steel mesh mixed with terracotta tiles, using biogas in the production process in order to avoid Co2 emissions to the atmosphere and contributing in this way to the sustainability, one of the main themes of the Expo 2020 Dubai.

This project is designed by the Kuwaiti-Spanish architectural firm AGi architects.

A ceramic layer covers the ground and facades of the pavilion, making it seem as though the structure is wrapped with a terracotta carpet. The design helps emphasize on the pavilion’s public spaces and how humans circulate and interact within it.

In this case the materials were glazed ceramics on all their faces in reddish tones with a slight inclination of the mesh to provide the building with a unique and unrepeatable effect of depth and uniqueness. In addition, the choice of this construction system gives great added value to the facilities since it not only acts as a double exterior skin, but also works as a sunscreen from the inside.

Flexbrick ceramic material plays key role in La Gota Cultural Centre in Navalmoral de la Mata, Cáceres, Spain. The building’s façade consists of a double skin comprising a glass wall and Flexbrick ceramic material – a thermal protection system that prevents excessive solar heat gain during the summer months. A hybrid building designed to house exhibitions, the cultural center consists of box-like structures stacked irregularly to form five stories.

The application of Flexbrick at the extension of this modernist building, designed by Gaudí, maintains and extends the textures of the original project. The light-permeable façade sifts the heat and the light inside the building and it allows more freedom and flexibility in the distribution of windows and opaque elements needed.
