DEKTON FACADE

Innovation Technological Center by Blengini Ghirardelli

El ITC (Centro Tecnológico de Innovación) es el nuevo edificio, obra del estudio milanés de SBGA Blengini Ghirardelli, para el campus de la firma italiana AEC Illuminazione, situado en la región de la Toscana a las afueras de la pequeña población de Castelnuovo. A través de formas geométricas puras y simples, el proyecto procura la convivencia entre espacios técnicos y zonas públicas, fomentando así la relación entre los distintos departamentos y trabajadores. Dividido en tres niveles, los programas tecnológicos como laboratorios y salas de pruebas —que requerían de dobles y triples alturas— se ubican en las plantas bajas, para dejar las oficinas y zonas de investigación en el último nivel. La propuesta busca introducir el cercano paisaje toscano en el interior. El amplio cerramiento acristalado contrasta con la zona norte, donde se emplaza una de las fachadas en Dekton más grandes de Europa, con el acabado Domoos de la Solid Collection, para responder a los criterios de sostenibilidad e innovación de la empresa italiana. Las grandes piezas, de hasta 320x144 cm, se han dispuesto en esta ocasión sobre una fachada ventilada sobre un sistema de anclajes fijos tipo Keil. El edificio se completa con una cubierta de claraboyas que aportan la luz necesaria en los puestos de trabajo. Los sistemas técnicos y paneles fotovoltaicos se ubican en la cubierta, ocultos por la cornisa para evitar la tradicional imagen asociada a las arquitecturas industriales.

The ITC (Innovation Technological Center) is a new building designed by the Milanese studio SBGA Blengini Ghirardelli for AEC Illuminazione. It is located within the company’s central headquarters outside Castelnuovo, a small town in the Tuscany region of Italy. Using clean and simple geometric lines, the project makes technical areas and public spaces coexist, encouraging communication between different departments. The building is organized in three levels, with technological programs such as a laboratories and testing rooms – which required double and triple heights – on the ground and first levels and research offices on the upper floor. The project seeks bringing in the surrounding natural landscape into the building. The large glass enclosure creates a contrast with the striking northern facade, which is one of the largest Dekton facades in Europe. This facade is made of Dekton Domoos, an almost black shade from the Solid Collection, which fulfills the sustainability and innovation criteria of the Italian company. The large slabs, measuring up to 320x144 cm, are placed on a ventilated facade that uses a Keil-type fixed anchoring system. The building is rounded off with a skylight roof that brings light into the workspace. The technical systems and photovoltaic panels are located above the roof, concealed by a cornice to avoid the traditional image of factory buildings.
