Erläuterungstext

Complex with four research buildings: biotechnology research, environment research, security research, and a building that includes meeting rooms, two restaurants and a cafeteria. The treatment of external spaces makes part of the project.


Situated in the Varese province, northern Italy on the pre-alpine area, 20 km from the Malpensa International airport, the ISPRA Joint Research Centre (JRC) site is located as a reference for the science and technology institutes. The urban plan links the buildings with the natural context in which they evolve. Their harmonious designs offer a modern image whilst retaining a human scale.

The design of the facades and the orientation of the new buildings allow an important solar gain and natural ventilation. The integration of natural light and projected shadows enables the creation of interesting contrasts. The colours and materials used on the new buildings remind the existing context, and the surrounding natural elements.

The projects conception integrates a sustainable approach, taking into account various environmental parameters. This sensibility for sustainable development, which modifies architecture, is perceptible by both users and workers.
