ABSTRACT
The idea is to create a flexible framework, a framework which embraces the floor, the walls and the ceiling so that within that framework the plan is completely changeable.
Norman Foster (1978)
Introduction
In architecture the father of pressed metal panel systems, le panneau, is undoubtedly Jean Prouvé. Many such panel systems were developed by Prouvé including his early use of metal composite panels at the Aero Club Roland Garros in 1935 and the facade designed for Cours Conception Construction, an industrialized school building system designed in 1963 (Huber and Steinegger, 1971).
