New terna electrical station, Capri (NA)

Natural geometries

Limestone steps and Mediterranean vegetation: the natural matrix characterizes the place and defines its identity, laying the foundations for a hinge space between diffuse urban fabric and nature, made of geometries and colors taken from the place and reinterpreted in materials and details, to preserve the same richness and vibration of light.

The compositional research for the architectural design of the new Terna Electric Station in Capri sought to replace the “hard” image of the industrial complex with an identity capable of placing the complex in harmony with the environment in which it fits, minimizing its visual impact and enhancing its overall image.

Slow Architecture

  • Integration into the landscape.
  • Geometry and context colors.
  • Modular prefabrication.
  • Utilization of waste.
  • Reduced maintenance.

Trapezoidal-shaped architectural elements are the DNA of the intervention.

Both heavy and light prefabrication, with the specific aim of simplifying the site and reducing construction time.
