| The rhomboidal bubble double curved glass pane exhibited at the Fad Gallery in Barcelona |
The latest achievement in curved glass fabrication was shown at the Fad Gallery in Barcelona.
The façade was designed by Rafael de La-Hoz and comprises of thousand rhomboidal bubble glass units for a hospital in Mostoles. Cricursa was selected to manufacture the glass panels, also giving technical support during the design process.

The geometry is a double bending, first in one of the axis of the rhomboid, and secondly a spherical shape sited at the centre of the pane with around 400 mm of deflection.
The glass dimensions are 4900 mm in width, 3360 mm in height and 12 mm thickness.
The composition includes a low iron glass, with screen-printed in white with a particular pattern, achieving privacy and solar protection.
This is another example how curved annealed glass technology offers versatility and opens up to endless structural possibilities.
