New external cladding in Lausanne | nuvolaB architetti associati

The first objective is perceptive: the current station causes an ecological / biological fracture in the landscape, it is therefore necessary to reduce the impact of the installation.
The second objective is symbolic: The exceptional size of this technology involves the installation of a symbolic and social role building. It is therefore important to communicate the ecological value of the installation. The impact of new buildings on the environment concerns mainly the height of the facades and the visual fracture of the landscape from a high viewpoint, towards Renens. The casing of the walls will be encrusted slightly with reflective metal blades to filter out the context and leave them to soak the shades of the sky or the vegetation depending on whether the view is from below or above. The density of the viewing filter elements will be smaller towards the base of the buildings and brighter on the higher parts to facilitate the dematerialization of these large volumes into the sky.
