CHEMISTRYXHEALTH

CHEMISTRY OFFERS TO MEDICINE A HUGE NUMBER OF PRECIOUS MOLECULES THAT, COMBINED CORRECTLY, ALLOW THE CREATION OF INTENDED PHARMACOLOGICAL SUBSTANCES TO INCREASE THE LIFESPAN. THE APPLICATION OF CHEMISTRY IN THE MEDICAL SECTOR IS ESSENTIAL FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING, BUT DESPITE THE STRONG INTERSECTION OF THE TWO WORLDS, THE GAP BETWEEN THEM IS EVIDENT.

THE EXHIBITION THEREFORE AIMS TO BRING THE INDIVIDUAL CLOSER TO MEDICINE AND ITS CHEMICAL ROOTSWITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD NOT EXIST, AND AIMS TO DO THIS BY INVESTIGATING THREE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES OF CHEMISTRY IN RELATION TO HEALTH: DRUGS, VACCINES AND THE GLOBAL CHEMICAL IMPACT OF THE SECTOR. ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY, ALSO AND ABOVE ALL THROUGH INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES, WILL INCREASINGLY FAVOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICINE OVER THE YEARS, IMPROVING HUMAN HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THE EXHIBITION LAYOUT DESIGNED INSIDE THE GIULIO NATTA BUILDING IS TITLED CHEMISTRY FOR HEALTH AND AIMS TO RECOUNT THE WORLD OF MEDICINE RELATED TO CHEMISTRY, THEREFORE THAT OF THE CHEMICAL-PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY.

THE TOPICS COVERED WITHIN THE EXHIBITION ARE THREE AND ARE DEVELOPED IN THREE EXHIBITION SECTIONS, SINCE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE TWO INTERNAL COURTYARDS AND THE GLASS CORRIDOR OF THE G. NATTA BUILDING AS THE IDEAL LOCATION FOR THE EXHIBITION. THIS SPACE HAS A PARTICULAR CONFORMATION, AS IT CONSISTS OF TWO OPEN SPACES - THE COURTS, AND ONE CLOSED - A CORRIDOR, WHICH BEING GLAZED HAS A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COURTS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DIRECT ACCESS BETWEEN THEM. IN ORDER TO BETTER EXPLAIN THIS THEME, IT WAS DECIDED TO USE PNEUMATIC STRUCTURES AS THE MAIN TOOL FOR THE SETTING UP, AS THEY ARE ABLE TO RECREATE ASEPTIC, STERILE, ALMOST COMPLETELY WHITE SPACEBRIGHT OR NOT, DEPENDING ON THE LIGHT THAT PENETRATES, WHICH CAN BRING BACK THE SAME ENVIRONMENTS THAT CHEMISTS WHO WORK INSIDE THE LABORATORIES LIVE. BY COMBINING THE TWO WORLDS, WE WOULD LIKE TO ENSURE THAT THE USER CAN BECOME DESTABILIZED WITHIN THE SPACES AND CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE COVERED TOPIC. THE PNEUMATIC STRUCTURES ARE USED IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS: BY INFLATING THE ENTIRE PNEUMATIC STRUCTURES INSIDE THE TWO COURTYARDS, SO AS TO GIVE SHAPE TO THE VOID OR EXPAND THE SPACE OF TRAVEL WITHIN THE EXHIBITION, OR USING THEM IN A LESS SIZE BY HOOKING THEM TO THE CEILING IN A WAY THAT, THANKS TO THEIR SHADOW, CAN DEFINE A SPACE. IN THE FIRST EXHIBITION SECTION, AN ELLIPSOIDAL PNEUMATIC STRUCTURE DEVELOPS AND THE TOPIC OF DRUGS/MEDICINES IS ADDRESSED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EXHIBITION. THE SECOND SECTION DEALS WITH THE TOPIC OF VACCINES, TOLD THROUGH A HISTORICAL EXURSUS ON THE PANDEMICS THAT HAVE CHARACTERIZED THE HISTORY OF THE LAST CENTURIES. FINALLY, THE EXHIBITION ENDS WITH THE LAST EXPOSURE SECTION THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE SECOND EXTERNAL COURTYARD, ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT THAT THE CHEMICAL-PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY HAS - AS THE DISPOSAL OF THE DRUGS AND SOME USED CHEMICALS THAT ARE RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE. AT THE END OF EACH EXHIBITION SECTION, A SHORT SPACE IS DEDICATED TO THE ANALYSIS OF INNOVATIONS AND POSSIBLE FUTURE SOLUTIONS THAT RESEARCH IS DEVELOPING.

THE PROJECT OF THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE BUILDING CURRENTLY USED AS A CIVIC LIBRARY, LOCATED IN RESCALDINA, WAS CONCEIVED WITH THE AIM OF INSERTING A SYSTEM WITHIN THE CITY FABRIC MAKING THE BACKBONE OF THIS PUBLIC AND MEETING PLACE ON ITS OWN SELFSUFFICIENT BUILDING BOTH FROM A FUNCTIONAL AND BIOCLIMATIC POINT OF VIEW. THE BASIC IDEA DOES NOT END IN THIS, BUT CENTRAL IN THE DESIGN WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF STIMULATING THE POPULATION TO BE PART OF THIS SYSTEM, THROUGH AN INITIAL PHASE OF SELF-CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS - AN ASPECT STUDIED WITH ATTENTION FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF CONSTRUCTABILITY.

IN A SECOND PHASE, ARCHITECTURE IS ACTIVATED FOR PEOPLE: THE SET OF FUNCTIONS ORGANIZED WITHIN THIS PUBLIC SPACE, AS IN A CIRCULAR ECONOMY, WORKS AS A SYSTEM TO OFFER THE CITY NEW SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES AND A RENEWED CENTER OF SOCIAL AGGREGATION WITH A LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. THESE FUNCTIONS DEVELOP AROUND THREE FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS: THE CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES, THE PROCESSING AND THE PREPARATION OF FOOD ZERO KM - USING INNOVATIVE AND ECO-SUSTAINABLE METHODS SUCH AS HYDROPONICS AND AEROPONICS, PARTICULARLY ATTENTIVE TO THE TOPIC OF SOIL AND RESOURCE CONSUMPTION WITH THE GOAL OF MINIMIZING THE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT OF FOOD PRODUCTION.

Energy And Environmental Strategies

THE TWO MAIN ELEMENTS THAT PERFORM A BIOCLIMATIC FUNCTION IN THE ARCHITECTURAL APPARATUS ARE THE GREENHOUSE AND THE PATIO. THE FIRST, EXPOSED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, IN ADDITION TO THE PRODUCTION FUNCTIONALITY ALSO HAS A CLIMATIC ACTION: AS A PASSIVE SOLAR SYSTEM WITH DIRECT GAIN, IT ACCUMULATES HEAT. THE LABORATORY PLACED BETWEEN THE GREENHOUSE AND THE PUBLIC PART IS EQUIPPED WITH SLIDING WINDOWS THAT ALLOW HEAT TO PASS THROUGH OR TO ISOLATE THE PUBLIC SPACE ACCORDING TO SEASONAL NEEDS, THUS ACTING AS A FILTER FOR THE THERMAL REGULATION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEM. THE PATIO, SHAPED AS A SUBTRACTION FROM THE OVERALL VOLUME OF THE SAME SIZE AS THE LABORATORY, AS WELL AS BEING AN IMPORTANT POINT OF SUPPLY OF LIGHT AND AIR FOR THE TWO RESIDENCES, FAVORS WITH ITS CONFIGURATION A NATURAL VENTILATION AND COOLING OF THE ROOMS THAT OVERLOOK IT. THE CORRECT ARRANGEMENT OF THE PREMISES IN THE BUILDING PLAN SEES THE APARTMENTS FACING SOUTH-EAST AND THE PUBLIC SPACES ON THE LESS SUNNY FRONTS, THIS CONTRIBUTES TO THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE STRUCTURE FROM A CLIMATIC POINT OF VIEW. PARTICULAR ATTENTION WAS PAID TO THE THEME OF THE INSULATION OF THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, WITH WALLS MADE ACCORDING TO THE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE OF THE PLATFORM FRAME, WHICH IN ADDITION TO BEING AN EXCELLENT SOLUTION FOR THE SELF-CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING, ALLOWS TO CONTAIN INSIDE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF INSULATION. FINALLY, THE THERMAL REGULATION OF THE BUILDING IS ALSO GUARANTEED BY THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS - THAT CORRESPOND RESPECTIVELY TO ELECTRIC RESISTANCE RADIANT FLOOR PANELS AND TO A MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEM THAT RUNS IN THE FALSE CEILING. TO ENERGETICALLY POWER THE STRUCTURE IS THE SET OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS ON THAT ROOF TO COMPLEMENT THE SUPPLY OF THE ELECTRICITY GRID.
