Membrane Screen Design, Izmir, Turkey
Design and Construction Coordination: Michael U. Hensel & Defne Sunguroğlu Hensel
The Luminous Veil membrane screen was developed as part of a master-class at Izmir University of Economics that focused on the systematic development of membrane and cable net systems. Placed in an elevated glazed corridor that connects two buildings of the university the membrane screen provides shading during the morning hours and amplifies low angle sunlight in the late afternoon.
