Corten steel is an atmospheric corrosion resistance steel, which is in between carbon steel and stainless steel with low alloy content. It is a type of steel that is manufactured with a chemical composition that oxidizes to prevent corrosion and gives a red and green colour to the building. The formation of iron oxide on the outer layer known as patina gives distinctive look to a building and make it one of the popular construction material of the 21st century. Architects and design aficionados love this for its rough yet stylish look. The name Corten Steel comes from its reddish brown colour that develops due to prolonged exposure to weather and oxidation. The addition of weathering steel makes the building look unfinished and rustic, hence giving a unique characteristic to the overall structure. The goal was to create a rugged design that was down-to-earth. Designed by architect Eero Saarinen for making the structure “down-to-earth”. Corten is a material that forms a layer of iron oxide to protect from corrosion, which gives earthy colour, similar to a freshly plowed field. In addition to boosting employee morale, the beautiful garden helps the framers to connect with their workers both technically and artistically.
