Descripció

Aquest projecte comporta la renovació integral d´un edifici existent per a condicionar-lo als requeriments propis dels actuals edificis d´oficines. L'operació ha suposat un canvi radical a la seva imatge, a on els arbitraris motius ornamentals de l´antiga façana han estat substituïts per un mur cortina neutre i homogeni amb una serralleria que accentua el seu relleu i aporta un considerable efecte d'ombra.
L'edifici presenta aquest tractament genèric en tres dels seus costats, però introdueix un motiu excepcional a la seva façana a l´Avinguda Diagonal. Aquest motiu consisteix en una successió vertical de plans inclinats de vidre que abasten tota l´alçada de la planta i mostren l´intent ideal d´obrir la torre a aquesta important artèria urbana. Aquest recurs es podria comparar amb el dels temples “in antis” del món grec, en els que els murs laterals emmarquen, a través de les antes, una gran obertura situada a la façana curta.

Description

This project involves the integral renovation of an existing building to suit the specific requirements of current office buildings. This intervention has meant a radical change in its image, where the arbitrary ornamental motifs of the old facade have been replaced by a neutral and uniform curtain wall with a profile that emphasize its relief and provides a considerable shadow effect.
The building presents this generic treatment on three sides, but introduces a special motif in the Diagonal Avenue façade. It consists of a vertical succession of inclined planes of glass that span the entire plant height and show the ideal attempt to open the tower to this important urban artery. This resource could be compared to the temples "in antis" of the Greek world, in which the side walls frame, through the columns, a large opening in the shorter facade.
