The entire project envisages the production of more than 40,000 m² of façade cladding. The design includes approximately 4,000 unique types of facade elements.
The use of So Concrete technology offered an efficient realization of atypical shapes and a reduction of ⅔ in the material consumed compared to conventional technology. On-site production then considered halving CO2 emissions, as well as significantly reducing the time it was necessary to have crane equipment on site.
The solution was demonstrated in a visual mock-up of one complete façade element that was presented to the client.
