2014 Industrial building, Aigle, Suisse

The project arises from the need of FCC SA to support its growth on the international markets both by creating new facilities and by the insertion, in the production cycles, of a higher degree of automation, supported by a higher level of computerization.

The new facility is formed by two connected buildings: a tower, 36 m high, containing a full automated multi-storey warehouse, and a connecting and distribution single floor building. The flow of goods is carried out by robots "transtockeurs", and by AGV, laser-guided automatic ground vehicles, and it is managed by a sophisticated computer system that chooses the allocations in the stock and optimizes the streams to the productive areas and to the shipping areas. The tower is the higher building in the town and qualifies with its modern and technological look the industrial zone of Aigle. It is, at an urban and territorial scale, one of the symbols of identity of the landscape.

2005 Industrial building, Aigle, Suisse

The project was born and develops around the production machines, after a prolonged and careful examination of each production cycle, which is broken down into individual operations and analyzed in every detail in order to facilitate the subsequent use of each machine. Therefore the design of the building procedes from the inside outwards: at first all machinery and installations are positioned, with the aid of models, in an architectural space ideally unlimited in every direction. Only then it is thought the building as a shell intended to preserve, protect and make easy and fast all operations to be performed for the finished product.

The result is a highly functional building that evokes the praise of many international operators in the field of chemical applied to cosmetics, who annually visit the manufacturing and packaging facilities of FCC SA at Aigle.
