THE STORY OF THE FACADE

Three buildings, one kind of structure, each of which is confronted with a different setting. Here is a look at three commercial buildings designed by Brenac, González, and Associates, each of which has a facade that is distinctive and well contextualized… Every structure has a facade that is just as interesting as the one that comes behind it. I will take each one of them in turn: Be open on city block a11 in Paris is set against a setting that is reminiscent of urban poetry, consisting of city arteries, railway lines, and catenaries. The skin of the A11 building, which is a standalone structure, leaves an impression on those walking by and passengers on the train. It has an infinite profile that is always changing depending on the light and the weather. The total mass of be open is created by stacking three volumetric masses: the commercial areas, a setback main portion, and a somewhat overhanging attic. These three masses are rotated and folded to bring about the desired effect. All of them are covered with cladding, which is a symphony of white enameled aluminum tubes. These tubes draw attention to the arabesques and curves of the combined modules, and they also provide the structure an evanescent quality. In addition to providing protection for the body, the envelope transforms into a surface of exchanges that is inspired by the flow of exchanges that occur between individuals. The waterfront is a sophisticated combination of a business landmark with a façade that has a homey sense about it. When confronted with opposing environments, such as the ring road to the north and the core of the area to the south, the volume of the office building serves as a connection between the various scales. The seamless transition is further reinforced by the diverse treatment of the facades. An impression of a large-scale, shimmering urban landmark is created by the homogeneous textures of a prism facade consisting of modules of anodized aluminum and bright-annealed stainless-steel frames. These modules are used to conceal wooden window frames on the side of the ring road. The foyer, which is located at the corner of the building, contributes further to the strong character of the structure. The south-side facade, on the other hand, is comprised of a succession of wood frames and colored solid parts, which are further accentuated by superimposed balconies that are fitted with green trellises. The Quai Quest building, which is situated in Boulogne-Billancourt, underwent significant reorganization throughout the refurbishment process. This was done in order to establish a distinguishable character within the ever-evolving urban scene and to enhance the building’s environmental performance. By utilizing the site’s potential and resolving issues such as noise, the lack of sun breaks, and an outdated architectural image, the new facade system is based on a ventilated double skin of glass on the interior, upon which sun-breaks are affixed. This allows the site to take advantage of its potential and overcome the issues. The close closeness to the river is one of the advantages that a prismatic covering offers. A dynamic second life is given to the structure by the façade, which is comprised of glass panels that are folded diagonally to reflect the sky and the shifting cityscape. This facade plays with perception, size, accumulation, and transparency. In every one of the initiatives, the most important thing is to prioritize environmental efficiency. Low energy usage may be achieved by the use of a window system that provides an abundance of natural light and frames that can be opened to allow for natural ventilation. An improvement in building performance may be achieved by installing sun breaks and retractable metal shutters on sun-exposed facades. Brenac, González, and Associates are able to effectively create compelling urban monuments that are both dynamic and fascinating in form, and they are able to adapt to a wide variety of environments. There are pictures of all three buildings that are included in the facade narrative that can be seen on indiaartndesign.com.
