i'm guessing the architect was a big fan of the movie "independence day". :)

The inspiration, so 'tis said, was a foil-wrapped baked potato. That's hand-wrought aluminum sheeting up there. The architect took his turn on the scaffolds with a hammer, because he could, and he wanted to. The aluminum is developing holes now, and the building's owner isn't sure what they're going to do about it.


There's a lot more natural light in there than you might think.


eta: the building predates Independence Day by a couple of decades.

It looks like a woman's bracelet, to me.

Stress corrosion cracks in the sheeting?

It reminds me of the spaceship from Lost In Space. Danger Will Robinson!!!


The holes do seem to be at ridges and depression centers, so I suspect it might be . . . overwrought. :rolleyes:

they probably spec'd a very light gage aluminium that could be manipulated in the field, and now its corroding at the weak points.

this will be the subject of "lessons learned" seminars for years to come. :rolleyes:

Might have cured the issue by normalizing the aluminum after forming, but now, it's junk.
