Hydro's
Domal brand is presenting "Ferrari Architecture in
Maranello," an exhibition that illustrates the
effectiveness of combining aesthetic values with
sustainability in buildings. The Ferrari exhibition,
which takes place at the "Museo dell’Automobile" in the
Italian city of Turin, concludes on August 17. It is
open to the public.
The exhibition
aims at revealing through pictures, small-scale models,
sketches and projects, the work of renowned architects
including Massimiliano Fuksas, Jean Nouvel, Luigi Sturchio,
Renzo Piano and Marco Visconti.
Visconti, who
was supported by the technology of Domal's aluminium
building systems, designed the new Ferrari Mechanics and
Painting buildings as well as the Ferrari Restaurant, which
has just been completed.
The buildings
achieve high standards of technical excellence and they have
been constructed in a way that considers the well-being of
the employees based there. In particular, the focus has been
on providing functional work environments, solutions that
allow optimum air-conditioning, and overall care for energy
efficiency. For this purpose, Domal developed a special
aluminium profile to support Visconti's vision to design an
effective bioclimatic structure that guarantees the highest
grade of natural lighting and the lowest expenditure of
energy.
Domal is also
presenting at the exhibition a sample of the façade built
with its systems. The Ferrari exhibition opened on June 30
in Turin on the occasion of the 23rd UIA World Congress of
Architecture in Turin, and was one of the main off-site
events at the just-concluded global meeting of architects.
