DESCRIPTION
The Riazzi substation was created to help the growing demand for electricity to power high-tech health care and research facilities, universities, housing, and more. This building consists of twisted sunshades to add architectural interest to the façade. This design creates an illusion of waves. This was the first time this type of installation had been done through our close partnership with Construction Specialties.
