Milano (Italy)
The B_O_B Bio Office Building is a competition project which attempts to propose bio-climatic and energy solutions in work spaces which rebalance the relationship between the natural dimensions and the dynamics of efficency and productivity. B_O_B enhances the quality of work environments and creates new synergies between the interior and exterior of the building. The project aims to be a role model for understanding the skin of a building and the interior as an interface between the urban setting and the functions of office life. The structure consists of a basic parallelepiped which resembles a crystal shard. The southern facade is characterized by a large bamboo lattice, while large aluminium panels arranged in a chequered formation cover the northern frontage. The plan allows for maximum functionality and the option for either an open space layout or units divided by partitions or furnished walls. B_O_B is a living organism. It follows the change of season, altering its skin like a chameleon in a constant dialogue with the life of the building. The facade estabilished geometries and textures that are prefectly integrated with the sorrounding cityscape, thus minimizing the environmental impact of the building.
