Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, will showcase a selection of architectural solutions at BAU 2019. At the exhibition, the company will feature its newly launched solar shading windows eyrise s350 as well as its protective coating solution for building façades, Durazane. BAU, the world’s leading trade fair for architecture, will take place from Jan. 14-19, 2019 in Munich, Germany.
“In modern architecture, meeting functional and aesthetic needs fuels the demand for smart innovations,” said Michael Heckmeier, head of display solutions within the Performance Materials business sector of Merck KGaA.
In October, Merck KGaA unveiled eyrise, its new product brand for dynamic liquid crystal windows, and announced the commercial launch of eyrise™ s350. The new instant solar shading windows provide comfort or a “light wellness” effect. This is achieved by cutting solar glare on demand to instantly adjust indoor light while preserving transparency and color neutrality to the outdoors. It offers a range of sizes, shapes and colors.
The Kirow Niemeyer Sphere and the FC Group’s new headquarters building are two of the first eyrise projects currently underway. The Niemeyer Sphere, located at the headquarters of the crane manufacturer Kirow in Leipzig, Germany, is one of the last works of renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. The architectural project will be realized using triangular versions of liquid crystal windows from Merck KGaA. Additionally, the FC Group’s new headquarters building in Karlsruhe, Germany, will become the first eyrise full-façade installation. The building is scheduled to open in 2019.
At the BAU exhibition, the company will showcase the Niemeyer XS pavilion, a demonstration of its contribution to the Kirow Niemeyer Sphere. The six-meter-high partial replica of this project will allow BAU attendees to experience both the outdoor and indoor impact of this window technology.
eyrise s350 is powered by licrivision, the company’s liquid crystal material solution for dynamic glass. “With eyrise, we have successfully expanded our expertise in liquid crystals to a new and unique technology for intelligent window systems,” Heckmeier said.
Building façades are permanently exposed to sunshine, rain, moisture and snow. With the organic polysilazane Durazane, Merck KGaA provides a solution for the protection of exterior surfaces.
