Harmonia 57 by French-Brazilian architects Triptyque is an office building in São Paulo with a planted facade irrigated by a mist system.
Plants grow in “pores” set into the concrete facade and will eventually cover the building.
Like a living body, the building breathes, sweats and modifies itself, transcending its inertia. The walls are thick and covered externally by an organic layer that works like the skin of the structure. This dense wall is made of a concrete that has pores, where several plant species grow, giving the facade a unique look.
In this great machine, where the rain and soil waters are drained, treated and reused, a complex ecosystem is formed. This ecosystem is a multifunctional universe made of several interconnected machines.
Its insides are exposed in the facades while the interior spaces are well finished with clear and luminous surfaces, as if the construction was inside out. The pipelines that serve the whole building – as well as the pumps and the water treatment system – are showing in the exterior walls, embracing them like veins and arteries of a body.
The Harmonia 57 concept will be on show at the Venice Architectural Biennale from September 13th, as part of the French Pavilion.Harmonia 57 by French-Brazilian architects Triptyque is an office building in... more
