CONTRAPPOSTO Climbing Club

The pattern of the façade get inspiration from the circuit board. The circuit board
graphic was made into a climbing surface which climbers can explore the route by
themselves. We use Aluminum extrusion coated with red rubber which is good for
climbers. All these extrusions are bolted to the matte steel panels which are all hold
by the strong and thin carbon fire polymer panels. Both the interior and exterior are
designed to be climbable, which provide extremely different experience.
Square steel was put in the middle to tie the carbon fiber polymer, and this
secondary steel structure are attached to the primary steel ring which designed
to hold the posture units. The bottom climbing panels was the same composition
but just directly attached to stable concrete block which is the base of the whole
structure system. Also. In the exterior climbing panels, in addition to the red rubber
grips, there are some other equipment attached to the matte panel too, such as real
plumbing system and Led lights systems.
