Future Work Awards selected
The Learning Centre and Primary CEIP El Tren de Fort Pienc located in the Eixample district of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhas been selected for Catalonia Construction Awards 2007 in the category of Innovation in Construction. The building's main innovation is precisely
of
Ventilated Facade Polymer Concrete ULMA . Also, ULMA has participated in the project with the supply of blades and perforated for installation over the building line.
The Ventilated Façade
, is an efficient system which helps to supply the building comfortable. It aims to improve the performance of buildings preventing thermal bridges and this translates into significant energy savings that completes all the requirements of environmental sustainability. The architects have created the project in question, Felip Pich-Aguilera and Teresa Batlle study Pich-Aguilera, committed to respecting the environment, sought to understand the environment and seek comfort by adapting the environment and applying the principles of bioclimatic architecture. Therefore, thought
Ventilated Facades.
In the system of ventilated facade of the building CEIP El Tren de Fort Pienc has been used in addition to the smooth texture, a special texture slotted designed specifically for this work. The
comprehensive service offering line
Ventilated Facades ULMA Polymer Concrete can custom design a project solution in each case. Provides comprehensive management, from selection of raw materials, manufacture of parts, including the study of the project and ending with the installation and delivery of work. The authors of the project, Felip Pich-Aguilera and Teresa Batlle, they needed a piece to stop passing the filtered light so that it enters with less intensity. The project team designed a perforated panels that met the desired function.
"The collaborative project was very interesting, the project team immediately began testing and offered us an absolute readiness to find the pieces we wanted in terms of textures, colors and special pieces such as perforated plates "says Teresa Batlle.
As the blades provided, in addition to fulfill an aesthetic function, protect the sun and let light and air, has achieved the goal of the architects was to meet the needs of the building using the same material in order to maintain uniformity.
As in the previous edition of the awards given by The College of Technical Architects Barcelona (CAATB), all selected entries will be collected in a publication and will be part of a traveling exhibition that will travel throughout Catalonia.
