Endowed with considerable strength

by virtue of their reinforced

construction, anti-slip coating and

laminated external glazing, the

DXW roof window is an ideal solution

for flat roofs that double as terraces

as it can also be walked on.

The idea behind Maggie’s Centres is

to create places that can help to

preserve the dignity of patients.

Steven Holl’s design at St.

Bartholomew’s hospital in London

features a facade that changes

depending on the time of day, built

using Kapilux glazing by Okalux.

Integra is an electric window with

remote control that consists of a timber

core coated in white polyurethane

in a single mould with no joints,

ensuring minimal aesthetic impact

in whatever context it is placed. A

control panel means that the

windows can be programmed

according to individual habits.

The exhibition

The exhibition “Re-build in the built
environment” on show at the Milan
Triennale that describes the work
of Capoferri Serramenti, has
recently drawn to a close. Curator
Simona Galateo selected a number
of case studies that presented
different ways of working on the
built environment, moving from the
scale of architecture to the detail of
a door or window frame. The
architecture was described
through a few very specific
elements — photographs, texts,
building plans and technical
drawings. Four works of
architecture were chosen: the
Morgan Library by RPBW in New
York; the Terrazza Triennale by
OBR Paolo Brescia and Tommaso
Principi; Palazzo Aguissola in
Milan, recently renovated by
Michele De Lucchi; and the Tempio
Capitolino in Brescia, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
