Jub Research Facility by Andrej Kalamar Posted: 26 Jun 2010 09:24 AM PDT This building is designed by Andrej Kalamar on a 3,100 sq m site in Ljubljana. It is a research centre for plaster facade technologies.
There are 4 floors in this building. The ground floor comprises an applicative classroom, a two-storey show house and specialized testing chambers with simulated real and extreme weather conditions. The upper floors comprise some laboratories. The research facade testing area is located on the south elevation. 16 separate test cells are provided for online measuring of various parameters and their impact on the facade, such as : controlled temperature, moisture, sunlight and wind speed changes. Each cell has different color scheme. The east and west elevation are finished in white plaster Jub facades, complete with white window frames and shades. North elevation becomes a test ground for the newly developed stenciled facade. A dynamic white pattern is applied over neutral concrete foundation, enfolding the structure’s base into an oscillation of white points. |
