backlit perforated metal screen architecture
The perforated metal facade at the energy-efficient, day-lit, largely recyclable Tripoli Congress Center in Libya gives the impression of tree trunks in a forest, especially when illuminated from within. The facade provides lots of filtered light as well as privacy to the interior of the building which is situated near the woods. This impressively green government building has water-efficient fixtures and landscaping, on-site greywater recycling and natural ventilation.
