PVC-coated polyester fabric: it is the material chosen by the architect Barr Gazetas to create in London "River Walk", a 150-meter walkway designed to provide complete protection from atmospheric agents to VIP guests. To give further exclusivity to the entrance, in addition to the symmetry and the curvature of the fabric, the architect used an interactive lighting that colors the walkway in a range of bright colors accompanying guests on their journey.
The choice of fabric was not random: it not only provides a light structure functional to an elegant shape, but also offers translucency and perfect integration with the surrounding natural environment. Finally, as a corollary of the "Walk", there are large spans at its ends which allow emergency access to vehicles.
