After becoming indispensable in aero and space manufacture, titanium quickly gained its popularity in other industries, including architecture and construction. In addition to being light, strong and incredibly durable, this metal is absolutely immune to environmental pollutants, including urban pollution, marine environments and the sulphur compounds of industrial areas. Titanium has very low thermal conductivity for a metal, which makes it an excellent insulator and allows to increase a building’s energy efficiency.

Titanium has very low thermal conductivity for a metal, which makes it an excellent insulator and allows to increase a building’s energy efficiency.
Besides having excellent mechanical strength, titanium is also very long-lasting and shock resistant. Its elastic modulus is quite low, this means titanium will be more flexible than other architectural metals during earthquakes. All these qualities alongside its stunning platinum-like appearance make titanium an ideal material for architectural applications.
The Spanish Bilbao Guggenheim Museum is one of the world-famous building made of titanium. Architect, Frank O. Gehry’s, chose titanium over other materials after observing the behaviour of a titanium sample pinned outside his office. The titanium shell of the museum, perfectly combined with limestone and glass, which are also used in the building, changes its colour depending on the weather and time of the day. And, as for today, the museum building has become a symbol of titanium application in architecture throughout the world and has been inspiration for many other projects.
Yet Japan, being an island with a high population and vulnerable to sea air corrosion and air pollution, first pioneered the titanium usage in building and architecture. In 1973, first building with titanium roof was installed. Since 1980s, titanium, in the form of metal sheeting, has been used to protect historical temples and monuments, for roofing, curtain walls and interior and external walls. Most of the large architectural structures, like mobile roofing in Fukuoka Dome, could only be created because of light weight of titanium. Other examples of impressive building structures made of titanium include Beijing National Centre for performing arts by Pau Andreu, Glasgow Science Centre in Scotland, Cerritos Millennium Library in California amongst others.
The unique properties of titanium have given a new freedom to architects and their creative vision. Wrapped in durability and low maintenance, titanium is one of the most cost-effective building materials today; all this makes titanium a sustainable solution for architectural applications pathing way for a monumental future in building.
