ELASTICOFarm proposal for SILK- FAW has been developed inside the model shop of the office.
Project Name: New Silk-Faw Headquarters
Studio Name: ELASTICOFarm
As the form of an automobile is defined by aerodynamic principles, our building is molded by the forces of nature affecting the project. The designed architecture has a classical value, it acts like a pre-existence, an enviromental infrastructure, that does not mutate according to shifts in products and style, whilst allowing for the necessary functional flexibility.
The company headquarters are born out of the water. Some buildings are generated from the bottom of the lake, as if being geological elements, whilst other, lighter, wooden structures keep a distance from its surface, upon which their image is reflected. Water is the main material, and connects all the various parts and different architectural, technological, and landscaping elements.
The landmark signal, positioned next to the A1 highway, will be able to synthetically convey the features of the site and its climate by using light and nebulised water.
