Designed by London-based architecture firm, Levitt Bernstein Associates, the aluminium-cladded facade was specially designed to function as a louvre system allowing ventilation for the boiler room of the University of Liverpool’s new energy centre. The wall cladding consists of removable diamond-patterned aluminium sheets, whose scale-like form continually changes character as it catches the light in ever-changing ways.
