Multi-Colored Steel Cladding.

Multi-Colored Steel Cladding

The original Airform for Bruco was constructed from surplus fabric forms stored for years in 50-gallon drums—the material was not as strong or uniform as the material we normally use for dome construction. Consequently, the caterpillar required coating just a few years after being built. David decided to have it clad in multicolored steel leftover from other projects. It was a practical solution that gave Bruco its early, distinctive look.
