Industrias Guidi's 60th Anniversary

INDUSTRIAS GUIDI
To build the Zarate plant IG decided to have
a future looking design in its architecture. The
EV+PP Architectural Study (Egozcue Vidal +
Pastorino Pozzolo) was in charge of the design
and project of the new building. The main
criteria was to optimize the construction`s
functionality by creating a logic of modules
at different levels affecting the ground and
height. The idea was to generate dynamism
in the aspect of the whole place providing an
innovative image with high quality architectural
standards. In this way IG left behind the typical
image of warehouses or factories often seen
in industrial buildings. Another main asset
for the new plant was the light fixture factor.
Designing different levels allowed the entrance
of daylight in a much optimized way all of which
was previously calculated with special lighting
computerized programmes. The objective was
to quantify the use of daylight within the light
fixture and its impact in the production areas.
