The project
In March 2020, Archicercle designed and produced clear acrylic screens intended to separate people using essential services from professionals in healthcare, food services and other essential sectors. The initiative linked the production of these screens to funding face shields for donation to public healthcare facilities.
The project responded to the need to avoid direct contact in public-facing services during the health emergency. Archicercle’s contribution covered both the design and production of the screens.
The screens were made from clear acrylic using heat bending. The transparency maintained visibility between the two sides of the screen, while bending gave the separating element its form.
The initiative also had a charitable purpose: under the announced plan, the profits would fund materials and manufacturing costs for face shields to be donated to hospitals and other public healthcare facilities. This commitment formed part of the project presented in March 2020.
