About Bradco مبنى مصنع

برادكو هو مبنى صناعي مصمم لإنتاج أساور الساعات والمصنوعات الجلدية الفاخرة في كاستيلو دي بايفا، البرتغال. صُمم المصنع حول فكرة الضوء الطبيعي، حيث وُضعت عدة مناور سقفية على السطح لتظل منطقة الإنتاج مضاءة ومشرقة للعاملين. استُخدم الحجر المحلي من المنطقة في الواجهات الخارجية، إلى جانب الزجاج والفولاذ، لربط المبنى بمحيطه ونسيجه المكاني. وتخلق المساحات الزجاجية الواسعة شفافية بين الفضاء الداخلي والمشهد الطبيعي المحيط. نُفِّذ المشروع بين عامي 2019 و2020.
