Weco Windows, a Spanish start-up directed by architects Iciar de las Casas and Rosario Chao, has won the prestigious international Red Dot Award 2015 for its ^WECO 2C window.

The internationally-patented WECO 2C window revindicates wood as part of a clearly sustainable system. It represents a major advance over the conventional wood window, incorporating technical improvements that assure comfort and energy savings with minimal maintenance. The window sash combines glass and hardware in a single, elegant assembly, without the need for a frame. This solution maximizes the window’s open area for greater transparency.

WECO 2C combines framless glass and wood

Wood from sustainably-harvested forests frames wall openings. The use of wood in place of aluminum or PVC reduces the carbon footprint of a product conceived from the start as environmentally responsible and energy-conserving.

This innovative concept results in a design that stands out for its simplicity, quality of detail and elegance, combining the warmth of wood and the contemporary appeal of uninterrupted glass. “

Now in its 60th edition, the Red Dot Award has recognized designs by firms such as Apple and Mercedes-Benz in previous years. It is “the largest and most prestigious product competition in the world,” according to its president, Professor Peter Zec, who goes on to point out “the courage and high commitment” of the two designers.

An international jury composed of 38 experts evaluated 4,928 products from 56 countries. They judged products based on the following criteria: degree of innovation, aesthetic quality, potential for realization, functionality and usefulness, and emotional content and impact

Weco Windows founders De las Casas and Chao have more than 40 years of experience combined in architectural design and building, working for internationally-recognized firms and wth their own studios. They have approached the profession’s current crisis in Spain as an opportunity, launching themselves into the adventure of developing a new product and marketing it themselves.

“WECO 2C is the window that I had been looking for in the market and couldn’t find,” De las Casas comments. “To present our design to Red Dot for the first time and win is a very important recognition.” The founders’ concept is to create windows that bring the surrounding landscape into the architectural design without the interference of frames and structural elements. It is this search for lightness that motivates their research, inspiring a new way of conceiving the integration of interior and exterior: to achieve a mimesis between the window and its surroundings while adding economy of costs for the user.

The participation of weco windows in this competition has been sponsored by the Roto Frank hardware company.

FORADACAIXA results from the exercise of rethinking the use of an existing object common and inexpensive as modular element composition of space and architecture. It is a setting up whose fundamental concepts is experimentation, creating synesthetic environments and interaction with the public, challenging and questioning the traditional experiences of architectural spaces. The flexibility of the spaces causes the part to function as a hybrid, and, despite different zoning and specific uses and characteristics can’t affect the ownership of the people, by the design and shape results in a set based to support and respond to the demands of public space during the JARDINS EFÉMEROS. The proposed program comprises a market area, one lounge and a sound / dj, where each is presented with a very distinctive setting and the other in order to give an answer to functional level, but also aesthetic.

The fadeout chair’s legs seem to gently disappear, as though the chair stands in a pool of mist or fog. The chair’s back and seat are wooden, and the clear acrylic legs are specially painted by craftsmen so that the wood grain appears to gradually fade away. Usually, our perception of furniture is strongly affected by the space around it. The fade-out chair turns this relationship on its head: we can change the look and feel of a space simply by placing the chair in it. This was our attempt to design space itself through furniture.

Comune di Giffoni Valle Piana: “Costruiamo il nostro futuro”. “Il piano urbanistico comunale (PUC) è uno strumento di gestione del territorio comunale italiano, composto da elaborati cartografici e tecnici oltre che da normative (legislazione urbanistica) che regolano la gestione delle attività di trasformazione urbana e territoriale del Comune di pertinenza.” L’idea progettuale parte dalla necessità di creare un logo comunicativo, capace di esplicare ai non addetti ai lavori, cos’è e a cosa serve il piano urbanistico comunale, e allo stesso tempo di essere efficace e efficiente per i tecnici preposti al suo utilizzo. A questo scopo nella rappresentazione grafica è stata inserita un’immagine aerofotogrammetrica del centro storico di Giffoni Valle Piana, scomposta in pezzi di un puzzle, che servono a far capire istantaneamente uno dei principi del piano urbanistico, ovvero l’utilizzazione di zone omogenee per la suddivisione del territorio in aree e l’espandibilità dello stesso in base alle caratteristiche tipologiche di ognuna di queste. Volutamente il puzzle raffigurato nel logo non è stato ancora “composto” sia per far capire ad ogni persona che consulta questo piano quanto una città priva anche di uno solo dei suoi “pezzi” perda completamente il suo senso unitario, sia per rappresentare l’importanza che ha per una città il suo piano di espansione. In quest’ottica come ogni “pezzo” esistente del tessuto urbano è indispensabile, così lo saranno tutti quelli che grazie al piano andranno a costituire il nucleo urbano di sviluppo.

© GVG project . Published on July 22, 2015.

L’elemento mancante centrale si incastrerà nel tessuto urbano esistente così come faranno gli altri pezzi che a mano a mano comporranno la Giffoni Valle Piana del futuro. Altro aspetto comunicativo importante è stato l’utilizzo di colori diversi per ognuno degli strumenti del piano; questo per permettere un’ immediata lettura ed identificazione degli stessi e un approccio più diretto. Questa stessa differenza cromatica sarà poi usata oltre che per il logo anche per i testi che contraddistingueranno tutte le copertine di ogni elaborato, opportunamente accompagnate dall’effige comunale, il tutto contornato da una cornice sobria che riprende il colore posto a sfondo della denominazione. La carta intestata, immediata e di facile lettura, accompagnerà ogni elaborato senza invasività e con chiarezza informativa. Niente più di un logo e del suo messaggio, congiuntamente ad uno slogan semplice ma esplicativo di ciò che sarà a farsi, possono rappresentare i buoni intenti di un’ iniziativa e la volontà di partecipazione richiesta e necessaria all’approccio collettivo per un futuro migliore. Più chiaro, più semplice e di tutti.

This project in progress, is a proposal for a small flat. The main purpose was the optimisation of the available space. The ceiling is the protagonist and makes the small space dynamic and faster or static and slow depending on the different functional situation. Every blind partition not closely necessary has been avoided to don’t intercept the flowing space through the opened living space.

The possibility to have a beautiful view above the valley is the main element. The services have their own private spaces inside and outside and the wide living room is completely opened towards the valley; the optical axis are very deep and can escape to the outside. The horizontal surfaces have been treated to generate a sort of pressure to emphasize this centrifugal attitude.

10.000 mq di tela acciaio inox trasformata in piramidi per dare una nuova faccia al termovalorizzatore di Giubiasco.

Termovalorizzatore

© Silvia Balestreri . Published on July 22, 2015.

Una struttura prodotta grazie ad un lavoro sinergico tra aziende: studiata nei minimi particolari dallo Studio Vacchini architetti, realizzata dalla Gebruger&Meyer e raffinata dalla nostra tela metallica in acciaio, capace di adattarsi alla lavorazione richiesta.

Grazie al tessuto metallico la struttura oggi ha: - bassa trasmittanza solare diretta e totale - sistema ad alto isolamento acustico - basso accumulo di energia solare - prodotto 100% riciclabile

L’edificio realizzato è la nuova sede direzionale e amministrativa della Banca di Pisa e Fornacette e costituisce l’ultimo tassello di un più generale progetto di riqualificazione urbana, che vede sorgere, in prossimità della vecchia sede, un nuovo fabbricato, una piazza e nuovi spazi verdi aperti anche alla fruizione collettiva.

© Alessandro Ciampi. Published on July 22, 2015.

Sull’area precedentemente occupata da un edificio commerciale degli anni Settanta si è costruito il nuovo edificio secondo un più elevato profilo qualitativo e tecnico-prestazionale, nel rispetto dei più stringenti parametri in merito ad impegno energetico di esercizio e sostenibilità generale dell’intera opera (Life Cycle Assessment). Ne è risultato un edificio contemporaneo nell’aspetto, nei materiali e nel rapporto che instaura con il territorio e l’ambiente in genere, caratterizzato anche dal ridotto impatto energetico-ambientale e per lo spiccato efficientamento termico ed acustico perseguito dai progettisti, che colloca l’opera nell’area di certificabilità A+.

© Alessandro Ciampi. Published on July 22, 2015.

L’edificio realizzato consta di complessivi 4500 mq e si sviluppa su 3 piani fuori terra e uno seminterrato. Ai piani superiori si trovano gli uffici direzionali e amministrativi, gli spazi della distribuzione, quelli di relazione e altri locali di servizio come i bagni, i locali tecnici e i collegamenti verticali; al piano interrano si trovano l’auditorium con circa 300 posti e un ampio spazio adibito ad area espositiva e per eventi. All’interno, lungo gli spazi di relazione e distribuzione, trovano posto sedute e “pezzi” storici del design italiano, frutto di una selezione mirata (quasi curatoriale), che di fatto arricchisce l’edificio di una nuova collezione.

CHICAGO– (June 23, 2015) – Architecture firm Goettsch Partners (GP) has been hired by The John Buck Company and Golub & Company, a 50/50 joint real estate development venture, for the design of San Francisco’s latest Class A office tower. The 29,000 square foot site for the Park Tower at Transbay is located at the corner of Howard and Beale streets in the SOMA area, near the San Francisco Bay and across the street from the new Transbay Transit Center, which is currently under construction. GP will lead the design for the project, collaborating with the San Francisco office of Solomon Cordwell Buenz, who will serve as local architect, as well as Stevens + Associates Architects.

© Goettsch Partners . Published on July 22, 2015.

The 605 foot tall Park Tower will be 43 stories and include 750,000 square feet of commercial office space. The tower is designed as a series of three massings that offer a variety of floor plate sizes for tenants. Within these distinct massing elements, the architects carved out a series of large outdoor terraces that provide substantial outdoor amenity space to office tenants.

© Goettsch Partners . Published on July 22, 2015.

James Goettsch, FAIA, CEO and Chairman of GP explains, “The building almost completely covers the accessible area of the 29,000 square foot site, leaving no room for plaza level landscaping. However, the upper floors provide over 25,000 square feet of landscaped decks or mini-parks in the sky, which makes the building unique,” and yielded the building name – Park Tower. The terraces are specifically site-oriented throughout the tower to provide amazing views of San Francisco Bay and the nearby Transbay Transit Center elevated park.

© Goettsch Partners . Published on July 22, 2015.

The tower’s façade is comprised of floor-to-ceiling glass and is articulated with a series of vertical glass fins that relate to the location of the tower terraces, which occur at a three-story module. The podium façade also utilizes a series of vertical double fins in addition to a module of fritted glass. The fritted glass element is repeated through to the base of the building to help continue the tower articulation and materiality throughout the three tower massings. Scott Seyer, AIA, LEED AP, principal at GP describes, “The materiality and scale of the façade changes with each of the separate tower massings. However, they are in concert with each other and the scale becomes smaller as we approach the base of the tower. The overall tower design is meant to create a timeless aesthetic that will provide a positive addition to the Transbay area as well as the San Francisco skyline”.

At the base of the tower is a covered 5,000 square foot outdoor plaza with a 35 foot high ceiling. The area is designated as privately owned public outdoor space (POPOS) that abuts both the tower’s main lobby and adjoining retail space. Along with a series of outdoor seating areas, a major focal point of this outdoor space will be a large site-specific installation by a yet-to-be-announced artist(s), which will be integrated into the main wall of the tower’s core.

The commission marks GP’s first office tower design located in San Francisco. The project is currently in the Schematic Design phase and construction is scheduled to begin in October 2015 and will be completed in 2018.

Located adjacent to an athletic complex, the Hotel Kapok is a 19-story boutique hotel offering 242 rooms and a variety of amenity programs. The form is simple, while the exterior expression is unique and bold. Clad entirely in high-performance glazing with integrated operable windows for each room; the façade is overlaid with a perforated metal scrim providing valuable exterior shading and visually referencing the diamond-shaped structure of the Sports Arena. A series of heavily landscaped surfaces on the rooftop create a destination dining experience for guests and visitors celebrating unobstructed views to the bay and beyond. A traditional west facing arrival court is sunken to help seclude activity from the neighboring Arena; while the hotel planning strives to provide a unique spatial quality that eliminates the cloistered nature of typical hotel corridors. The resulting pinwheel plan allows for corridors that end in vision glass with a punctuation of light and views. Four multi-story atriums reveal themselves on the facade as large voids in the exterior scrim, and rhythmically ascend up and around the hotel core to drive light deeper into the floor plans. Each atrium showcases interior vegetation while strategically locating varied amenity areas, sensitive of orientation, throughout the hotel.
