Best Tall Building 2010 – Corten Steel
Product News Friday, March 22, 2013: A J Marshall (Special Steels) Ltd
Broadcasting Place in Leeds has won one of the CTBUH’s annual regional awards for its architectural and design excellence - Best Tall Building in Europe 2010.
With a nod to famous local sculptor Sir Henry Moore, the distinctive look that Broadcasting Place features comes from the Cor-Ten steel, a type of metallic cladding that weathers into a rusty look giving it a textured but warm colour palette, that is combined with a faceted elevation of five angled elements that draw on the layered geological formations that can be found in the Yorkshire Dales. The tower is made from weathered steel, which negates the need for painting.
