Green Facade Building

Rimini Forum Center – Multipurpose building

This small mixed-use five story building is characterized by curved facades facing the street, covered with a green skin that evokes traditional ivy-covered buildings.

The façade consists of a lattice of steel to support climbing plants that seamlessly cover the entire length of the building.

The roof gives the building a uniform appearance that is interrupted by only one vertical opening, a deep rift that leads to a back garden.

L’involucro è ottenuto con un reticolo d’acciaio su cui crescono piante rampicanti formando una copertura ininterrotta sull’intera lunghezza dell’edificio che abbraccia le elevazioni laterali e si congiunge alla facciata sul cortile posteriore.

La copertura è intesa a conferire all’edificio un aspetto omogeneo che è unicamente interrotto da un’apertura verticale, una profonda spaccatura che conduce a un giardino sul retro. Il colore scuro utilizzato sull’edificio esalta il contrasto tra la pelle verde e l’apertura d’ingresso. I piani che ospitano gli uffici presentano terrazzini che sovrastano la strada e sono schermati dalle piante rampicanti. Il sistema è permeabile all’aria e alla luce, cosicché i ballatoi possono fungere da veri e propri spazi all’aperto. L’elevazione interna dell’edificio ha un’aria più appartata con la sua vista sul cortile-giardino interno.
