DUOPUU is providing the technical consultancy for the executive design of a new educational pavilion and community space in Molgora Park (Monza Brianza) designed by Atelier delle Verdure – architecture & landscape studio. The new building entirely made out of CLT panels will be almost-100% natural, renewable, recyclable and reusable. The architectural elements will be based on certified low embodied carbon materials: cork and wood fibers for the insulate panels and prefabricated cross laminated timber panels for the structures. Moreover, the project is working on ensuring a minimum environmental impact for the construction phases and for the entire lifespan of the building. Thus, the new pavilion will provide a safe space—coherent in both design and environmental values—for educational activities and nature-based experiences organised by the Oasis’s volunteers, within a habitat of vital importance for biodiversity / Concept and design: Atelier delle Verdure / Co-design and works management assistance: DUOPUU / Client: private / Status: on-going / Render by Atelier delle Verdure.
DUOPUU collaborated with the Enrico Molteni Architecture office in the design process of a new education center for the Parma University Campus, made of engineered wood and organic/bio based building materials, supporting the principles of symmetry and unity of Enrico Molteni’s project for an unconventional wooden building that uses standard and certified elements. Design: Enrico Molteni / Status: finished / Total surface: 2450 sqm / Drawings and pictures by Enrico Molteni + photos of the article published in Casabella 955, March, 2024 .
DUOPUU has collaborated with Enrico Molteni Architecture office in the design of a new kindergarten entirely made out of engineered wood and organic/bio based building materials. DUOPUU has interpreted the curvilinear shapes of Enrico Molteni’s project, transforming them into light weight curved timber-frame walls with special natural infill insulation and insulating coat. DUOPUU has worked with TimberTech, a company expert in timber construction’s structural analysis in order to design an unconventional wooden building using standard and certified elements.
