The profiled in situ metal sheet avoids having transverse joints by allowing trays to be made that are the same length as the enclosure. Furthermore, the geometry of the tray provides a ribbed surface on which to anchor any finishing by means of clamps and therefore without perforating the metal sheet.

Profiled metal sheets for the free design of continuous enclosures (029)
Buildings with curved geometries, in which there is no distinction between façade and roof, find a great ally in metal sheets profiled in situ. This technology can create tight enclosures that are suitable for fixing any finishing element without making holes in the enclosure. In other words, when the building is finished it can be dressed to obtain the image the architect wants with a new added layer that, unfortunately, does not fulfil any of the functions of the enclosure.

Mangera Yvars in the Qatar Faculty of Islamic Studies and Renzo Piano in the Santander branch of the Botín Foundation resorted to this solution, which was initially introduced by Herzog & de Meuron between 2001 and 2007 for the Caixa Forum of Madrid, but in a flat-geometry enclosure.
