The New Olivetti Office Building (Italian: Nuovo Palazzo Uffici Olivetti) is a building located in Ivrea, Italy. It is part of the Olivetti complex in Ivrea, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site under the name Ivrea, Industrial City of the 20th Century.
History
[edit]Designed by architect Gino Valle and built between 1985 and 1988,[1][2] the building is part of the final development phase of the area along Via Jervis in Ivrea.[1] Its construction symbolizes the transformation of the city of Ivrea from an industrial hub into a center providing services to industry between the 1970s and 1980s, and it represents an example of Olivetti's strong corporate identity policy.
Description
[edit]The building consists of five blocks arranged to form a broad curve, set back from the street to create a spatial connection with the Olivetti Office Building. Rising six stories above ground, it features a façade articulated by the alternation of horizontal glazed bands and solid brick masonry bands. The windows are recessed and structured by rounded pilasters and concrete floor bands; light-colored blinds, adjustable on each glazed module, provide protection from solar radiation and create a continuously changing appearance.[1]
