Description
The facades are defined by a raster of about 1.40m x 2.80 m that covers the whole of the four fronts. The uprights and stringcourses are made of thermo-lacquered dark grey aluminium sheet, with the recessed parts alternately occupied by aluminium frames or PV modules. The raster of windows and panels is interrupted by cut-outs and recesses that define strategic areas such as entrances, balconies, stairwells, so as to give the building a more articulated definition.
427 BIPV modules, distributed in 21 different sized of glasses and equivalent to an area of 1,207 m², were integrated into the 4 facades through a mounting system purposely developed for structural glazing. The modules are fixed with an aluminium rail system on a metal substructure. The panels are suspended in the upper part and kept in position in the lower part, with the possibility of adjusting their position and inclination, as in a system of structural glazing with invisible fixing.
