About Armitalia Offices and Factory
The complex, located close to a motorway junction on the outskirts of Milan, consists of three buildings with heights and different features. The offices and warehouse, with four and two storeys above ground, are articulated by a rectangular grid measuring 8.75 x 4.37 m. The one-storey building that houses the workshop has a square grid of 8.75 m per side and is characterized by a concrete roof cast in situ supported by columns. It consists of twenty plates – whose intrados recalls a very shallow pavilion vault – each with a central perspex skylight, whose lateral ribs house the air conditioning and lighting running in the two directions. This complex was a milestone in Mangiarotti's research into the square grid plan with a plate roof in which there were no priority values between the two axes. El complejo, situado cerca de un cruce de autopistas en las afueras de Milán, consta de tres edificios con alturas y características diferentes. Las oficinas y el almacén, con cuatro y dos plantas sobre rasante, se articulan mediante una retícula rectangular de 8,75 x 4,37 m. El edificio de una planta que alberga el taller tiene una retícula cuadrada de 8,75 m por lado y se caracteriza por una cubierta de hormigón fundido in situ apoyada en columnas. Consta de veinte placas -cuyo intradós recuerda una bóveda de pabellón muy poco profunda-, cada una de ellas con un lucernario central de plexiglás, cuyas nervaduras laterales albergan el aire acondicionado y la iluminación que circula en las dos direcciones. Este conjunto marcó un hito en la investigación de Mangiarotti sobre la planta cuadrada con cubierta de placas en la que no había valores de prioridad entre los dos ejes. The element that unifies and characterizes the complex is the façade panel, with its curvilinear profile and windows with rounded corners.
