The project consists of the realization of a new façade, with a continuous exterior skin, to the new headquarters for the Deià-Nou Barris design school in Barcelona.
An added thickness was incorporated externally to the façade, containing both the necessary insulation and the new coating. Volumetrically we played with "folds" in the outer sheet of the new skin to give movement and dynamism to the composition.
Sheet metal of the "Europerfil" type has been used for the new skin; opaque in the blind and micro-perforated façade area of the windows, in order to collaborate with the solar control of the classroom openings.
Frames of tubular profiles have been used, to support the free geometry of the metal sheets, fastened with brackets and braces of the original facade, to resist the typical actions to which the facades are subjected.
