This prize winning proposal for the Azienda Elettrica Ticinese (AET) Headquarters in Monte Carasso, Switzerland was submitted by architect Dario Franchini. In this project the goal of the administrative building is to address the avant-garde, sustainable, and future features of the architecture on the site as an urban condition. The project is conceived of in two phases. Phase One is a three storey administrative building of 2,000 sqm. Phase Two is a tower of 15,000 cubic meters.
For more information read on after the break.
The goal of the first phase of the project is to confront the urban context. The first three floors align with the existing buildings to fit within the surrounding context of the site. The goal of the second phase of the project is to project an image of a future for the region in the form of a tower, taking into account the scale of the city with its river, valley and highway.
