The SEC Hydro in Glasgow, designed by Foster + Partners, is the biggest performance arena in the UK. The dramatic structure takes the form of a skewed dome, with external walls clad in translucent air-filled ETFE cushions that can create a dazzling illuminated facade.

Panels of STEREO-KINETIC^® Wall were used as a cladding for internal decoration. Each stainless steel tile is engraved with the name of an artist, commemorating their performance. Small quantities of tiles were heat-treated to create different shades of bronze. The result was a stunning and imaginative method of covering the drab concrete wall which greets the high-profile performers who appear at the arena.
