Celebrating the rich artistic history of San Antonio, the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts was designed to reflect the city’s Spanish Colonial style in a way that is relevant to current and future generations. To achieve these goals, the owners turned to a design team led by Seattle-based LMN Architects.
The solution was to blend existing building elements with a metallic veil that reflects the sky and the surrounding structures. In the evening, programmable LED lights cast eye-catching light displays on the metallic surface. The system is backed by CENTRIA’s MetalWrap insulated composite backup panels, providing a complete wall system with thermal and moisture performance.
