One of the firm’s most challenging architectural innovations. The owner of a successful industrial printing press approached GA with a vision almost never seen in the sector: a plant whose cutting-edge technology included architecture designed to enhance worker inspiration and quality-of-life. That the architecture be iconic was another requirement, yet within a framework of highly cost-efficient modern industrial construction techniques. Siting was intensely studied to take advantage of light and natural energies. Ultimately, the structure emerges as a part of the landscape, blurring the line between the natural and built environments, and soaring views from the factory floor are no less spectacular than those from the executive suite.

Una de las innovaciones arquitectónicas más desafiantes de la empresa. El dueño de una imprenta industrial exitosa se acercó a GA con una visión casi nunca vista en el sector: una planta cuya tecnología de punta incluía arquitectura diseñada para mejorar la inspiración y la calidad de vida de los trabajadores. Que la arquitectura fuera emblemática era otro de los requisitos, no obstante dentro de un marco de técnicas de construcción industrial modernas y altamente rentables. El emplazamiento se estudió de manera intensiva para aprovechar la luz y las energías naturales. Finalmente, la estructura emerge como parte del paisaje, desdibujando la línea entre los entornos naturales y construidos; y las vistas que se elevan desde la planta de la fábrica no son menos espectaculares que las que se tienen desde la suite ejecutiva.
