Wrapped in 8,500 custom panels of Lorin Industries’ ClearMatt series of anodized aluminum, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado (designed by Diller, Scofidio + Renfro) evokes a sense of movement fitting for a building dedicated to sport and athleticism.

Made by MG McGrath, the lightweight yet extremely durable diamond-like segments were coil anodized so as not to oxidize or scratch, ensuring their longevity; the material also reflects and refracts light to further the three-dimensionality. Offered in a range of finishes, it’s 100 per cent recyclable and low-maintenance.
