The firm behind the project, Stantec, is world-renowned for its focus on the communities it works with and its prestige in architecture, design and engineering; and had a specific vision in mind for the open-concept collaborative space as part of their education project for Lewisville Independent School District (ISD).

Stantec’s Lead Designer for the project Christina Eddy said,
“We were looking for a writable wall surface product that we could custom-design with our own colors and graphic. The ability to custom-design the patterns that were on the panels allowed us to tie the product back to the design of the interior.

Also, because of where the panels were going to be installed, it was key that these pieces would be durable and would hold up over time. There are classrooms that hold shop classes, automotive classes, woodshop, etc. right next to where these panels are located in the building. CeramicSteel was the only product that would fit all of these needs for this project.” The high-traffic location and potential for heavy use demanded a product that was durable, able to withstand use by students.

Stantec also liked that the “CeramicSteel panels were made with steel and that when students write on the boards, they won’t ghost or lose their efficacy as they age.” Stantec used custom colors to represent the Lewisville ISD school that created a custom-designed geometric graphic mirroring repeating elements found in the building. Christina said, “the boards do a nice job of tying together the geometric nature of the project as well as the overall color palette.”

A total of 85 digitally printed panels were combined to create 12 unique murals situated in corridors, waiting rooms, entry vestibules and elevator cabs. By combining elements of the Kentucky landscape, along with original illustrations by artist Christopher David Ryan, the art-walls add an element of nature, transforming a health care system into a giant visual playground.

In Arvada, Colorado, passengers have a unique opportunity to embrace the city’s agricultural history and promising future when walking past the “Chromatic Harvest” mural set in the Arvada Ridge Commuter Rail Station.

Digitally printed on 105 Standard steel cladding panels, the mural artfully tells the story of Arvada’s mission to continue progressing, holding true to its long-standing commitment to nature. Along the rail station walls, this theme of movement is conveyed visually in a lenticular fashion, with the images of crop fields and vibrant colors shifting as the passengers walk by.

RE:site’s artistry and the installation expertise from Metalab contributed to the masterful design ─ which amplifies as the passengers move closer and discover the minute shapes and colors that help illuminate the work of art. Polyvision and Designtex are proud to provide a durable surface and printing technology that gives the Regional Transportation District of Denver a piece that will inspire passengers and the entire city to keep moving forward, together.

Brussels, the capital city of Europe, is home to many artistic treasures. The city exhibits its commitment to a more liveable and enjoyable urban environment for everyone by integrating art into the metro system.

The artwork is inspired by the idea that art can improve the quality of life for locals and visitors by transforming these public areas. The goal is to develop more lively and interesting public areas that foster a sense of community and improve commuters’ daily experiences.

As a producer of Ceramicsteel, also known as enameled steel, Polyvision is employed in a wide range of creative and architectural applications. Regarding this subject, the Brussels metro system contains several famous pieces of artwork built from our CeramicSteel material. Over the years, we have contributed to improving the visual and cultural diversity of the city’s public spaces, resulting in a more motivating and interesting environment for everyone, by giving designers and artists strong and adaptable canvasses to work with.

Overall, CeramicSteel is a fascinating material that has been used in a wide range of artistic contexts, from murals and sculptures to decorative tiles and signage. Its durability and versatility make it an ideal choice for large-scale public works that need to combat the elements and stand the test of time.
