公园协会redesigns the Engie Headquarters building in the Bicocca district

Milan’sBicoccadistrict, a historic industrial site in the city, has been undergoing large-scale redevelopment since the '90s under theGrande Bicoccaplan. One of these renovation and technological modernisation projects was planned by公园协会为了Engie.

The conversion of the district known asGrande Bicocca包括米兰大学的重要组成部分（移动经济学和统计学院，物理学和数学，社会学，教育，法律，医学和心理学），随后在2002年通过了2,346个座位的就职典礼Teatro degli Arcimboldidesigned byVittorio Gregotti. The new district also includes research centres operated by such prestigious organisations asCNR, Italy’s national research centre, and Istituto Neurologico Carlo Besta; theHangar Bicocca展览中心和Bicocca Village, a major shopping centre with a multiplex cinema, shops, bars and restaurants. The infrastructure serving the Bicocca area includes the new high-tech metro line 5 linking the district with other parts of the city and two important traffic routes that pass through the Bicocca district and connect it with other important centres of production in northern Milan. The renewal project has undoubtedly made the area more attractive as a home for new service industries and for the offices of major corporations.

The building, which was constructed in the early ’80s and had no particular architectural value, was completely redesigned to suit this profoundly renewed area. In addition to improving its energy efficiency and layout,公园协会不仅对现有建筑物进行了翻新，而且完全重新设计了它；建筑师重雷竞技下载链接塑了建筑物的卷，增加了新的大型露台，为建筑物的城市和自然环境提供了视觉联系，并从城市的天际线到阿尔卑斯山。
Outside the building, the green area visible from the road was maintained and the ground-floor reception area was redesigned and its volumes adapted.立面were totally changed using a floor-to-ceilingmodular insulating double-glazing system. The new system guarantees compliance with the highest energy conservation and soundproofing standards, while the transparency of the glass ensures a complete visual link between the work area and the outdoors, improving employees’ well-being in the workplace. The entrance is sheltered by a long platform roof extending out toward the main road to welcome people arriving at the building. The organisation and layout of space inside the building were redesigned to ensure maximum flexibility in the offices.

该建筑有一个全新的图像，现在看起来像是一种轻盈的现代结构。该图像对应于一个重要方面：彻底改善建筑物的能源性能。新的Engie总部最初是E类，但现在被归类为A3，这是米兰仅有的六座建筑物之一Leed Platinumcertification, recently awarded theGlobal Architecture & Design Awardin theOffice Building (Built)category.
