Case History

Isozaki tower

July 29, 2016

Torre Isozaki – Milan, Italy

Arch. Arata Isozaki & Associates
Andrea Maffei Architects
2015

THE PROJECT

Together with the skyscrapers signed by Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind, the Isokazi Tower is the distinctive mark of the central square of City Life in Milan. Standing 202 metres high, the building is ideally inspired by the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi’s Endless Column. The building has already achieved the LEED Gold pre-certification.

THE BUILDING ENVELOPE

The building has 50 floors, 46 of which accommodating executive offices, and is characterised by the extreme verticality generated by the superimposition of a series of 6-floor modules. Each module is covered by a glazed double-skin envelope slightly bending outwards, which makes the building the first skyscraper in Italy with a triple-glazed façade.

THE SHADING SYSTEM

The almost 4,000 Pellini Tende e Sistemi blind systems MAOP35 installed in the building are venetian blinds using 35-mm micro-perforated aluminium slats, equipped with 230V dc motorisation and guided by steel cables across their 3.60-metre height.

Monocontrol Venetian blind UM16 Light

UM16 Light is a monocontrol venetian blind to be installed “inside mount” on aluminium, PVC or wooden window frames. The control system consists of an external cord loop that allows the blind to be tilted, raised, lowered and stopped in a simple movement enabling the user to adjust the light passing through. The slats measure 16 mm and are made of aluminium. The head rail is manufactured from a particularly slim profile, which enables it to be mounted onto the glazing bead, thus making UM16 Light the ideal solution for sliding windows. The bottom rail consists of two coupled profiles, avoiding the need for ladder tape fixing caps. The blind is available in 9 colours coordinating with the slats, head and bottom rails. The fixing system is based on high-resistance double-sided adhesive tape applied on the side profiles, which results in a considerable reduction in installation time. Upon request, it is possible to place the double-sided adhesive tape onto the back of the guides, for applications on the window frame or outside mount.
Features and benefits:
• Possibility of adjusting the light passing through
• “Inside mount” installation, on all types of frames
• Quick and easy fixing: no support is needed as high-resistance doublesided adhesive tape is provided
• Easy operation via monocontrol device
• Ideal solution for sliding windows, thanks to its slim profile.

Monocontrol Roller blind UR Light

UR Light is a monocontrol roller blind whose head rail is so narrow that the blind can be installed “inside mount” on all types of window frames. The blind can be raised, lowered and stopped in any position by a monocontrol device, consisting of a single cord or chain loop. It features Verosol® flame-retardant shading fabrics, which are coated with aluminium particles and are able to reduce heat gain and adjust the light passing through. Light transmission can be decreased up to 3% and even in case of heavy radiation, or a higher transparency, the glare effect is always avoided. This helps significantly to create a comfortable environment in buildings, particularly while working on PCs. Verosol® fabrics are available in 18 colours and in 3 different qualities (transparent, semi-transparent and opaque). The cleverly-designed bottom rail is made of extruded aluminium, just like the grey profiles, which are also available in white, beige or black upon request. UR Light can be mounted very easily and quickly, without drilling the glazing bead, by means of high-resistance double-sided adhesive tape already applied on the side guides. Upon request, it is possible to place the double-sided adhesive tape onto the back of the guides, for applications on the window frame or outside mount.
Features and benefits:
• “Inside mount” installation, on all types of window frame
• Quick and easy fixing: no support is needed as high-resistance double-sided adhesive tape is provided
• Easy operation via monocontrol device

VEROSOL ORIGINAL

The light- ltering, ame-retardant Verosol® fabric bres are completely coated with aluminium, thanks to the exclusive patented “Three chambers” coating process. This optimises the ability of the blind to re ect heat and regulate light, thus offering a crucial contribution to the creation of a comfortable atmosphere indoors that is also so well suited to the speci c demands of computer work. Available in the transparent (816), semi-transparent (812) and opaque (878) versions, Verosol® fabric effectively reduces light transmission, and even in the presence of strong sunlight, or greater transparency, it always and in every case, blocks glare, when the risk that sunlight becomes blinding and makes it dif cult to perform one’s daily tasks whether at home or at work.

VEROSOL SILVERSCREEN

The ultra-fine layer of aluminium applied to the SilverScreen fabric dramatically improves protection against sun radiation, whilst also providing an excellent degree of transparency. Owing to its very high solar reflection degree (82%, the highest in the market), during the summer months SilverScreen keeps the heat outside, and in wintertime it reduces the dispersion of heat.
The aluminium layer in SilverScreen fabrics actually functions as a low-E coating, which results in an extremely low emissivity rate (2%), the lowest in today’s screen market. This leads to a further decrease in thermal insulation (U value) and contributes to lowering a building’s energy consumption, both in summer and winter conditions, and to cutting CO2 emissions.
SilverScreen is manufactured in factories complying with ISO 14001 international environmental standards. In addition, owing to the Öko-Tex and Greenguard certifications, SilverScreen makes it possible to obtain credits useful in “green” building rating systems, such as LEED, Green Star, and BREEAM.
