Скачать или смотреть New Case Study: The Bird-Friendly Glass Pyramid of the National Aquarium

The renovation of the National Aquarium’s iconic glass pyramid not only restored its visual appeal but also brought the structure up to modern environmental and wildlife conservation standards. Following the goals of the National Aquarium and the team at Design Collective, Walker and Vitro were able to provide high-performance glass that combines energy efficiency, bird safety, and optimal daylighting. A year after the renovation, the success of this innovative glass solution is clear. With zero bird strikes reported and the rainforest exhibit flourishing under the new glass, the project stands as a testament to how thoughtful design can meet diverse needs.
