Almería, Monday 15/10 / 12. – Architectonic Bronze is the result of the constant effort and research by a team of Engineering and Arts at the University of Almería, by getting a bronze surface with a unique texture and countless possibilities as to the shape. Its activity covers the whole process of elaboration of the bronze pieces from foundry and processing to installation.

This bronze surface can take many shapes and sizes and can be applied both on vertical surfaces (facades and walls) as on roofs and ceilings (paneling).  Moreover, this surface is made of solid bronze, so its durability, physical properties and corrosion resistance make it suitable for interior and exterior solutions.

After more than two years of research on the different applications of bronze, Architectonic Bronze has developed its first project in the Pythagorean PITA building in Almeria with the design, construction and installation of a surface made of bronze with a total size of 30 m2. The design process of the bronze pieces has been developed according to the needs of space and with the collaboration of the Architectural Studio Jose Angel Ferrer Architects. The project consists of three bronze modules installed in the auditorium of the building.

Environmental Commitment

Architectonic Bronze, in its concern for the preservation of the environment, uses recycled material (ship propellers) in the manufacturing of its products.  The bronze obtained is easy to be installed, light in weight (it presents an average thickness of about 3 mm, with a weight of 30 kg / m2) and needs no maintenance.

Architectonic Bronze offers integrated solutions through a professional personalized advice for each project.

As Pablo Mellado, artistic director of the research group, explains, this is an innovative use of bronze. Due to its intrinsic characteristics,  architectonic bronze presents  an unprecedented surface with a unique beauty and countless possibilities for composition and the ability to adapt to any architectural need.
