Trilitica is the new expansion lot for NOI Techpark, South Tyrol's innovation district. NOI is an ambitious urban regeneration project that aims to boost innovation and research in the territory by connecting economics and science. With its Zero Carbon architecture, Trilitica will set new sustainability standards for NOI's scientific buildings. The facility will house laboratories for the development of physical models for the study of two-phase flows, debris flows and density, for the testing of underwater drones, for water and waste analysis and for hydrothermal carbonization. These are significant activities for land management in response to climate change and to the new sustainability approaches relating to decontamination and eco-sustainable conversion.
Trilitica aligns itself with the industrial soul of the neighbourhood, settling in coherently and generating a new marker of context. The idea is to create a visually transparent building, connected to the city and equipped with green outdoor and indoor spaces aimed at enhancing the liveability of the urban space. The permeability of the façade helps to reinforce the perception of a lively and active neighbourhood committed to innovation. The design of the lot is the result of formal research where the static performance of the building and the architectural language of the work are aimed at optimisation. The compositional study focuses on the volume, reducing it to the essential. The building is pure, uncontaminated, absolute. Form and statics coincide.
Trilitica is designed to become the first "Zero Carbon certified building in Italy for offices and laboratories" according to the standards required by ILFI (International Living Future Institute). At an operational level, 100% of the energy consumption associated with the building comes from renewable energy produced on site and off site. In terms of embodied CO2, the design aims to limit its impact through optimization and the use of materials with a reduced CO2 impact, considering their entire life cycle. To meet these standards, the design is based on simplicity and purity of composition, research applied to the life cycle and impact of construction materials, green energy supply and the living quality of workspaces and laboratories certified as “my green lab”.
Trilitica aims to create an innovative building in terms of environmental sustainability without compromising on the compositional quality of the architectural object. To enable the building to meet the standards required for ILFI certification, the design firm focused on the essentiality of the structure and envelope. The result is a building that develops its strength around the perimeter, thanks to the external positioning of the structure, freeing up the internal surface area, which thus acquires maximum flexibility. During the design phase, Busselli Scherer, together with a group of experts, conducted an in-depth analysis of the materials, quantifying their environmental impact. The material identified for the work is a particular type of concrete made with mixtures with a high content of recycled aggregates, combined with steel, glass and drywall that meet specific sustainability criteria. The choice of concrete, although distancing itself from the collective imagination linked to sustainable materials, meets the requirements of neutrality demanded by the numbers. Internally, the work is designed with a human-centred approach. To this end, the project includes large openings to allow natural light to enter and internal patios dedicated to vegetation where users can relax and benefit from the positive effects of Biophilic Design.
Trilitica is a project in which we strongly believe because it embodies the innovative soul of the NOI Techpark. It is an ambitious project that takes on numerous challenges related to the architecture and construction sector. We hope that this building will stimulate the real estate investment sector to take on new challenges related to sustainability and innovation in architecture.
