Duty-free imports put Sri Lanka’s aluminium fabricators at risk as BOI policy gaps widen

On building sites across Sri Lanka, aluminium doors, windows and façade systems have long been a familiar feature, supplied largely by local fabricators who built their businesses alongside the country’s construction industry. Today, those same fabricators say they are being edged out of the market, not by cheaper raw materials or weaker demand, but by policy gaps that allow finished aluminium products to be imported duty-free. The Aluminium Fabricators Association of Sri Lanka (AFASL) says omissions in the Board of Investment’s (BOI) Negative List have created an uneven competitive landscape. Fully fabricated aluminium doors, windows and façade systems are entering the country without duties, even though they are manufactured locally, giving BOI-approved developers a clear cost advantage...

Klein Dytham delivers a new face to Cartier’s Ginza store with aluminium artistry

Cartier’s refreshed presence in Tokyo’s Ginza district now arrives with a markedly softer note, after Klein Dytham Architecture reimagined the store’s frontage with sweeping aluminium forms that recall the movement of a wedding dress. In an area monopolised by rigid vertical lines and tightly packed towers, the studio set out to introduce a quieter visual rhythm. Co-founder Mark Dytham said the idea was to bring “a gentle, sculptural calm” to the busy streetscape, favouring fluid shapes over the surrounding geometric order. Layered curves were used to build depth and create a sense of anticipation rather than compete with neighbouring structures.
