This year’s Swisspearl “Top Building” is the modern Collin College in Texas (USA), a 200 meter long light-filled building that overcomes not only ecological challenges, but is also a novel and well thought-through concept for future models.

Humans have always been fascinated by the variety of colours. Find out more about the history of colour in architecture, the role of the building surroundings with respect to colour, and the precision and technology with which Swisspearl is able to create the exact colour tone for every building envelope.

A mass made of pressed and folded pieces of fibre cement material, a sculptural diamond in the rough that appears to be framed by an external form. The fibre cement looks both wild and pliable. The top and bottom are smooth and functional. The center shows the malleability and strength of the material. Its unique yet universal shape makes it an versatile design. The Swisspearl Architecture Magazine showcases the journey of the Trash Cube from idea to result.

Every day they make sure you can rely on Swisspearl, no matter the region of the world your building project takes place. Every step counts. We guarantee that our high-quality material will meet the highest standards wherever it is used.
