A SOPHISTICATED ONE-OF-A-KIND SCREENING SYSTEM
The architectural plan of the vertical and inclined sunshades for the Feltrinelli Foundation saw an in-depth study of the side channels fastened to the window and details on the preparation of the electrical system for using the sunshades. 384 roller screens were installed on the southern façade of the complex. Amongst these are 192 ZIP Systems with a width of 2.14 metres by a height of 3.49 metres along with 128 inclined ZIP Systems that required particular technical development using the Traction Kit system. The complete method for attaching and securing the shades was designed to optimise future maintenance and installation, being very difficult due to the high altitudes.
