A combination of lightness, transparency and formal diversity makes steel one of the most versatile construction materials. In the case of industrial buildings, this is the key to innovation and attractive facade design. There are other – more pragmatic – arguments, too: short construction schedules, low weight and long unsupported spans.
At a time of rapidly changing demand and production methods, it is also a big advantage to employ flexible structures that can be quickly modified to cater for new applications.
