TYLER SHARP INTERVIEW

“I like things to be simple. I like things to be pure and legible, reduced to their essence. But I don’t like them to be simplistic. I still want them to have meaning, and typically many layers of meaning."

FOCUS ON INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECTURE

No building type places a greater emphasis on efficiency than an industrial building. The cost must be kept down, the construction must be speedy and the building must be capable of responding smoothly to innovations and capacity changes. Every aspect is subject to the pressures of cost containment.

FORBO FLOORING SYSTEMS HIGHLIGHT

Formerly a panopticon, the Koepel in Haarlem is now a multifunctional building where everyone is welcome. A breathtaking transformation has taken place from a circular prison to a venue for all city-dwellers.

PROJECTS

The interiors of several projects involving ­the use of floors and furniture surfacing from Forbo Flooring are included as a form of inspiration. The projects are located in various parts of the world and show the many possibilities provided by Forbo's products.
