ترم یک باید یه آلاچیق می ساختیم که سکوهایی بتنی داشت و ما باید اون ها رو قالب می گرفتیم.

یادمه با هزار بدبختی انجام شد و کلی خاطره شد برای آتلیه ی ما.....

توی قالب سکویی که ما قالب گرفته بودیم دو تا از بچه ها با کاشی های شکسته قبل از بتن ریزی یه چیزی نوشتن.

وقتی چند روز بعد قالب رو باز کردیم روی بتن تصویر شده بود: "کجاست سایه؟"

دیتیل دایره های فلزی این کار -که تازه ساخت‌ش تموم شده- برد من رو به خاطرات پنج سال پیش..........

'EDF national archives' by LAN architecture in bure-saudron, france

following up on our previous report of the project, paris-based office LAN architecture 
has sent us images of the now complete 'EDF national archives', a five-storey facility to
store the utility company's records in bure-saudron, france. accommodating 70 km of shelves,
the 1,400 m2 centre puts at the core of its design a rational layout for optimum storage
efficiency as well as sustainability in its operations.

exterior view
inserted into a 33,000 m2 site, the building is wrapped in coloured prefabricated concrete panels
which feature an organic pattern made out of 120,000 stainless steel studs. each measuring 7 cm
in diameter, the collective motif lends the centre a distinctive and dynamic identity that reflects
the elements of its surrounding back to the site.

elevation
the simple volume is divided into two components: archives and offices. the former is composed
of 20 storehouses (200 m2 each) which are temperature- and humidity-controlled. the blocks can
resist fire for 2 hours and are fully equipped with a sprinkling system. sweeping views of the landscape
are provided at the office level, which largely remains transparent through floor to ceiling glazing.

integrated with renewable energy strategies, the total power consumed by the building is minimized
to 20 kWh/m2. ventilation is executed by the use of a double flow system with heat recuperation,
which cuts down on the energy consumption while not compromising on the quality of the air.
measuring 68 cm, the elevations paired with 30 cm-thick insulation results in a very high performance
envelope.
