Königsberger Vannucchi Wins The Most Important Prize Of The 6th Saint-gobain Architecture Award – Sustainable Habitat
The SESC Avenida Paulista project wins the Best Project of this edition and was laureate with the 1st place in the category “Institutional Building”
Königsberger Vannucchi office from Brazil, author of the SESC Avenida Paulista project, was the winner of the 6th edition of the Saint-Gobain Architecture Award – Sustainable Habitat. In addition to winning ‘Best Project’ of this edition, SESC Avenida Paulista won the 1st place in the Institutional Building category.
The Saint-Gobain award is already consolidated as one of the main awards in the architecture sector in Brazil. The winners were chosen for excellence in comfort, innovation and sustainability.
The SESC Avenida Paulista project, delivered in 2018, stands out as an extension of the Avenue itself, establishing as a free territory to be appropriated by the people. Among its structural characteristics, the concept is developed in large accesses, in the various areas of coexistence and even in the choice of materials, such as the use of non-reflective glass. The project has the LEED Silver Certificate too.
The option for the material, which appears conjugated to zinc plates on the facade, reveals the various activities carried out inside the building. The architecture is only complete when activated by the movement of people, and for this relationship, every structure was conceived thinking of the actions that will be developed in the Unit, guided by the “Body-Art-Technology” trinomial.
The spaces and services – Café, Library, Children’s Room, Technology and Arts, Sports and Shows, Shop and Dental Offices – were distributed over 17 floors with four basic aspects: the neighborhood between similar activities, levels of noise produced by the activities, the volume of the public accessing the unit and the external visuals.
In addition to the aesthetic effect, the large glass slide acts as an acoustic and thermal antechamber, always flanked by a naturally ventilated internal terrace, which acts as a screen for refrigerated environments. These, in turn, have their corridor seals defined from the amount of light desired, in glass with solar control and spaces for shows and exhibitions are contemplated with blackout. The other facades are sealed with light precast or masonry, reducing in this way the thermal and acoustic loads coming from the outside.
