Project Team ULMA Polymer Concrete in collaboration with architects Felipe Pich-Aguilera and Teresa Batlle Pich-Aguilera Study of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhave been out a full research project Ventilated Façade. A good example of Integrated ULMA where collaboration begins at the very birth of the idea, which is known as Simultaneous Engineering and ends with the quick and efficient installation on site.
of the specific project highlighted in the Azal are
• The design and shape of the plate.
• The specific anchor.
• Colors.
• Games line with the seals.
The challenge was to get a building to house a nursery, to draw a fence on the horizon, with the intention of creating a parallel with nature. So, after several trials and tests carried out design Plate final, developing a Ventilated Façade System innovative.
a detailed analysis was made of natural leather, looking for the shape, size, texture and relief ideal for creating an envelope that could adapt to space, creating organic forms structural elements and continuous. The result was a hexagonal-shaped plate, combined with a textured interior pentagon in low relief.
The project team developed a special shape suitable for the system to fit the new format of hexagonal plate. The dedication intended for factory tested preproduction deal allowed with complete success the challenge and despite the difficulty of the work, the installation of the facade was made in just 20 days during the month of August 2007.
also added their original colors, developed outside the color palette existing catalog.
Day Care Torressana Terrassa, located in the province of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwas the first actual project implementation AZAL, with the new motherboard "hexapenta."
The Ventilated Façade System ULMA provides day care in addition to uniqueness, good bioclimatic behavior. The ventilated facade, is an efficient system that improves the performance of buildings preventing thermal bridges and this translates into significant energy savings that completes all the requirements of environmental sustainability.
