The brief is focused on the necessity of connecting together the two existing buildings and delivering a new distinctive identity to the headquarter on ANCE. Along with the restoration of the existing buildings an additional façade becomes the “manifesto” of the headquarters. It is an supplementary “skin”, a light textile bioclimatic and energetically active envelope that wraps the two buildings becoming a metaphoric and technological interface. The skin resembles a wing that protects – symbolically and physically – the headquarters. It is designed to change with the seasons through the use of vertical green foliage and is also conceived as a screen for projections of institutional and cultural campaigns advertising the activity of Confindustria and ANCE.
