A Green Community

Project description

The Green Community developed intends to merge the new construction with the existing factory creating a calm, conformed and collective space. The urban/architectonic intervention seeks to have a minimum impact on the used resources and green spaces. So, the brick from the demolitions is reused for the new buildings coating, and the sun light is used not only for energy production but also for thermal comfort through the greenhouse effect allowed by skylights suitable to the solar orientation.
