The Dutch studio's design aims to encourage the use of new materials and innovations within the architectural community. With a focus on typography, this structure's [3D facade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acvcscmetea) showcases alphabetical letter elements. The building's facade is clad with '[bio-resin and hemp fibre-reinforced composite panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-office-1)' that have been manufactured in collaboration with Haarlem-based company NPSP Composites. This gas company design by Studio Marco Vermeulen is home to a wide range of operations that include food production and waste management. In addition to its eye-catching facade, the architecture piece is sustainably built and encourages building practices that process renewable energy into raw construction materials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Typography-infused Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new materials and innovations in architectural design, specifically incorporating typography into facade elements. - **Sustainable Building Practices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Promoting the use of renewable energy in construction by integrating it into raw materials. - **Collaborative Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with composite material manufacturers to create bio-resin and hemp fibre-reinforced panels for architectural facades. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating typography into architectural design to create visually striking and innovative facades. - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating renewable energy into building materials for environmentally conscious construction practices. - **Composite Material Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with architects to create sustainable building products, such as bio-resin and hemp fibre-reinforced composite panels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Ceramic Home Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-house.md) - [Neon Illustation-Donned Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Grey-Brick Police Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bovenbouw-architectuur-1.md) - [Campus Art Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-ppw.md) - [See-Through Refueling Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hrs-by-starck.md) - [Amsterdam-Honoring Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/un-studio.md) - [Material-Exploring Industrial-Style Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrialstyle-lighting.md) - [Typographic-Inspired Intricate Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glyph-collection.md)
