Canopies: Golden Mosque

3 similar but specialised entrance canopies were produced for the Golden Mosque in early 2010. The canopies were free-standing from the building and were unusual in that they were manufactured as half and quarter conics which in itself presented us with an interesting challenge. Intension has previously assembled silicon structures using sewing techniques but this was the first welded structure we have tackled.
