Copper Inspires Award Winning Architectural Designs
Taking design queues from New York City’s iconic century old Brooklyn Bridge, Aperture 538, a new 10-unit multi-family residence recently constructed in Brooklyn, displays a copper screen central to its exterior. The creative style of this building and its unconventional use of copper earned it a spot among the top 12 magnificent building projects receiving a 2016 North American Copper in Architecture Award (NACIA).
The NACIA awards program organized by the Copper Development Association (CDA) and the Canadian Copper & Brass Development Association (CCBDA) recognizes and promotes building projects in the United States and Canada for their outstanding use of architectural copper and copper alloys. Now in its ninth year, the awards program saw various submissions featuring new and improved building applications that utilize copper.
