Arturo Montanelli, Francesco Renzi: industrial buildings, Talamona (SO)

Clear-cut geometrical buildings for industrial production. Text by Arturo Montanelli and Francesco Renzi.Photos by Toni Meneguzzo and Neri Oddo

Our aim was to create structures that would fit completely into the site and environment. We wanted to respect the setting as well as designing and producing spaces that would be distinctive and innovative, both architecturally and formally, and in terms of technology and construction techniques.

The industrial complex is made up of a series of buildings, one of which was already in existence; these are well defined and architecturally recognisable, formally and technologically.

The four buildings house different parts of the company's production process - from the thermal modelling and shaping of the helmets and the assembly of the different semi-finished components to the packing, prior to the sending of the finished product to market.

Each space has been designed with the requirements of the individual activities in mind; we verified possible machinery needs and any special conditions. Arturo Montanelli and Francesco Renzi
