An oversized stencil seemingly floats in water on slender legs. This interactive pavilion at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum illustrates the strength, durability and importance of low-carbon aluminum. Mimicking a manufactured forest, it’s titled “Between Forests and Skies” because of its unnatural imitation of our natural environment. Produced using unique inert anode technology, it showcases the fundamental role of low-carbon raw materials in creating a more sustainable world.
