The online journal PRISM: Sustainability in the Built Environment featured the KINETICWALL project at Logan Airport in its February 2017 edition. The editorial discusses the collaboration between the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), the architect (Arrowstreet), the facade finisher (Linetec), the installer (Ipswich Bay Glass Company, Inc.), and EXTECH to bring the project to life. One of the core components that made the project possible was EXTECH’s ability to provide mock-ups of the system during the design process.
“Various shapes, material thickness and finishes were tested, resulting in the curved anodized aluminum pieces that reflect light and ripple with the breeze,” noted David Bois, principal at Arrowstreet. “Our partnership with EXTECH allowed us to develop and fabricate a system for the facade that would have been difficult – if not impossible – without their collaboration.”
