x040 DESIGN DISTRICT [2022]
London, UK
Barozzi Veiga
Metal
El Design District en la península de Greenwich es un nuevo barrio de una hectárea con 16 edificios que proporcionará una base permanente para que empresas creativas comercien, interactúen y crezcan. A ocho estudios de arquitectura emergentes, seleccionados en toda Europa, se les han encargado diseñar dos edificios de forma independiente y "a ciegas" entre sí, creando una provocativa diversidad de color y forma. Los dos edificios de Barozzi Veiga son volúmenes simples y elegantes que buscan tener una adecuada proporción con su entorno. El reflejo de la luz en las fachadas de aluminio pulido de los edificios cambia a lo largo del día y parece diferente en cada estación. Durante todo el año, dan luminosidad a los patios y callejones circundantes. Los edificios están diseñados pensando en fotógrafos, artistas y escultores: grandes ventanales, escaleras exteriores y techos altos.

The Design District in the Greenwich Peninsula is a new one-hectare neighbourhood of 16 buildings that will provide a permanent base for creative businesses to trade, interact and grow. Eight emerging architectural practices selected across Europe have been given a pair of buildings to design independently and ‘blind’ from each other, creating a provocative diversity of colour and form. The two buildings by Barozzi Veiga are simple and elegant volumes that seek to have an adequate proportion with their surroundings. The reflection of light on the polished aluminium facades of the buildings changes throughout the day and appears different in each season. All year round, they give luminosity to the surrounding courtyards and alleys. The buildings are designed with photographers, artists and sculptors in mind: large windows, external staircases and high ceilings.
