Its use in the interior allows a sort of “dematerialization” of the rooms thanks to the reflection. Example: Louvre Lens, France mirror AP1 mirror is a further development of the AP1 as it features a surface with even stronger reflecting characteristics. Thanks to the low thicknesses in which AP1 mirror can be produced, it is particularly suitable for manufacturing façade composite plates. The special surface requires appropriate treatments such as painting with highly transparent sol-gel paint systems to offer protection against the weather and scratching. Examples: façades of AMAG hot rolling mill, Steirereck restaurant, Vienna. brush It is reminiscent of brushed stainless steel and, compared to it, offers the advantage of lower overall costs and lower weight. Depending on the material, different surface effects can be achieved after anodization. daylight Reflector material in the façade (available in AP1 and AP1 clad). sandblast Just like a brushed surface, but with the impression of a sand-blasted surface. satin finish The classic mill-finish surface, with its homogeneous, metallically bright appearance after anodization, is the optimum solution if a velvety matt look is required. Note: Indoor and outdoor use requires appropriate surface treatments such as anodization and/or painting with highly transparent sol-gel paint systems to offer protection against the weather and scratching. AMAG | Architecture | 09.2014 5 AMAG Hot rolling mill Ranshofen, Austria 6 AMAG | Architektur | 09.2014 The cross wing of AMAG’s new hot rolling mill in Ranshofen was designed with AMAG TopForm® AP1 mirror. The implementation of that project was a challenging task for all those involved because something entirely new had to be forged. Jointly with Alanod and Brucha, AMAG has created a product that meets special architectural requirements. We used our own raw material, Al99.5%, clad with Al99.85%, anodizing quality 126.1, bright, H18 temper, with a width of 1245.50 mm and a material thickness of 0.7 mm, as a starting material for the project. The 6,800 m² cladding for the new rolling mill was treated by Alanod GmbH & Co. KG at its Ennepetal location by a finishing process for façade products meeting the highest quality standards, in which the anodizing process is combined with a painting process. The highly transparent sol-gel coating is extremely hard and durable. The resulting product is highly formable and has a specular surface, with excellent weathering and scratch resistance. Brucha used this starting material to manufacture panels with a core thickness of 150 mm, with an exterior shell of mirror-finish aluminium, resulting in a product of flamboyant and unique design. This was the first time to design panels with an exterior aluminium shell; the BRUCHA Paneel® panel is a result of decades of experience in panel production. The façade of the new Ranshofen rolling mill is thus a particular example of how various manufacturing processes work together in an innovative manner, using a product developed by AMAG for architectural applications - definitely an architectural highlight.

AMAG TopBright® AP1 is the design element in the new Louvre museum in Lens, France. In December 2012 a branch of the Louvre museum was opened in Lens in Northern France. The entire building ensemble stretches over a length of 360 meters on either side of the central foyer. Designed by SANAA Architects, Tokyo, Japan, the museum is characterized by a transparent and open design with a lot of glass and especially aluminium. Large portions of the building covering an exhibition area of 28,000 m² are provided with anodized aluminium cladding that “reverts a blurred and fuzzy image of the site‘s contours, reflections that change as one strolls by, depending on the landscaping and available light.” (SANAA). These architectural requirements were fulfilled by AMAG‘s façade sheet metal. When anodized, the uniform surface of AMAG TopBright® 99.85 AQ126 makes it ideally suited for architectural and façade applications. This reflective bright-rolled surface offers new possibilities for the architectural representation of buildings. If used indoors, AMAG‘s sheets can virtually “dematerialize” space by reflection. AMAG | Architecture | 09.2014 9 Restaurant „Steirereck“ Vienna, Austria In Austria’s best restaurant1), the Steirereck in Vienna, AMAG TopBright® AP1 mirror has been used in the inside and outside area – the perfect material for demanding architectural applications. 10 AMAG | Architecture | 09.2014 Photos: © Pierer Architect: PPAG architects, Vienna, Austria This additional architectural project marked a highly interesting use, in an urban setting, of the AMAG material, which has already been used in the sensational Louvre Lens museum project. Embedded in the Stadtpark in Vienna, the trees and the blue of the sky are softly reflected in the aluminium panels on the exterior. Inconspicuous, but nevertheless full of life – this is the façade, in which guests, passers-by and objects can be seen with the required level of defined clarity. This effect can also be witnessed in the interior in the form of a continuous design element. In its concept for converting one of the best restaurants in the world2), PPAG architects from Vienna focused on the further development of the AMAG TopBright® AP1 to the AP1 mirror. The reflecting characteristics of this surface have been further enhanced, thus paving the way for further architectural developments (AP stands for “architectural products”). For many decades, the design opportunities available to architects using aluminium outdoors were restricted to matt surfaces. The positive response to new, exciting surfaces, some of which can also take on the job of controlling daylight in buildings (AMAG TopBright® AP daylight) is huge, just as is to be expected. Top quality in the visible and invisible. Just like the glossy façade for the centre wing of the new hot rolling mill in Ranshofen, the AMAG TopBright® AP1 mirror was surface-treated by Alanod from Ennepetal in Germany to make it weatherproof. In addition to the perfect surface quality of the AMAG TopBright® AP1 mirror, the honeycomb panels produced by the Luxembourg-based company R-tech also feature outstanding flatness. With the AMAG TopBright® AP series, AMAG can support the wide-ranging design ideas of architects using the most varied of materials and surfaces. A new trend is being born – and AMAG architectural sheets are at the very heart of it! 1) acc. to Falstaff/2014 2) acc. to „World‘s 50 Best Restaurants Awards“/2014 AMAG | Architecture | 09.2014 11 Group companies and locations AMAG Austria Metall AG P.
