VINYL WRAP: CRAP....THE NEXT LAYER OF GRAFITTI....BY THE WHITE GUY!

You could look at Fundermax...
It's a phenolic core panel with essentially a laminate for exteriors.

I think they will will do custom images for a basic set up fee. (depends on quantity ordered and such I imagine).

I didn't think you could use Abet Laminati, or any high pressure laminate on the exterior of a building.

check transmaterial. i'm sure this has been covered multiple ways.

separate thought: how about etching the image in with some sort of chemical wash?

or how about a layer adhered to the inside face of a glass panel? isn't that what 2x4 did at rem's iit student center?

thanks for the ideas guys, really helpful
i will be sure to check out those materials when i get into work tomorrow

i had thought about etching somehow, but need to research exactly how it would be done
that could be a cheaper solution than Abet, which is going to be quite pricey
and you can use it on the exterior, they have an exterior grade panel now, i am not sure if it is new or not

thanks again

the inside glass is also a good idea, except it is wrapped around a stair tower, with no glass

hmmm.... along the lines of etched glass, h&dem ricola factory w/ images silk screened onto polycarbonate, which might not be the look you were going for but an interesting effect in and of itself.



for some reason i was reminded of the work of anne black (DK) who's quite adeft at silk screens herself...

is that what are u looking for ????

possible something like that khalil

what material is that?

essentially, i have a stair tower that is part precast and part block. I need to clad it in a material that allows me to have an image on it. thats why the abet laminate panels worked out, but i wanted to find some other possibilities as well

The choices are limited but try to fabricate it, also make sure that abet would do it ...

check this for the details of the meterial
www.membranbau.ch


also try

www.laminex.com.au

i am not sure but they might find something for you

thanks khalil, and everyone else who responded

abet does do it, i have been talking with them about it for some time now with this project, so if anyone ever needs something similar, they can do it
unfortunately, it might be a little too expensive for my client, which is why i am seeking alternatives

Have you looked at a company called Arpa?

was used on Rem's Campus Center project at IIT.

I know I'm thread necromancing here but fwiw:

Jackson Clements Burrows - Old House (below)

"This project is located in an inner city suburb of Melbourne Australia and provides a response to the difficulty of making of architecture in heritage zones. The site was controlled by a Heritage overlay which favoured the retention of existing dwellings. In response to the clients desire to demolish the existing house, we proposed a strategy to replace the dilapidated cottage with a new house integrated within a supergraphic image of its former self. The strategy appropriately preserved the streetscape context and presented an opportunity for a more remarkable architectural solution. The project attempts to elevate the difficulties of obtaining planning approvals in heritage areas into a sublime and ironic gesture which may generate debate about the problem itself. In this sense it is both a critique of the process and a surreal architectural solution which is evocative of the site's memory and historical context."
