The Fantoni Plaxil 8 Manufacturing Building / Studio Valle Architetti Associati
来自建筑事务所的描述：该项目位于意大利东北部弗留利-威尼斯朱利亚大区的乌迪内，这座全新的建筑名为Plaxil 8制造大楼，由Studio Valle Architetti Associati设计，由Pietro Valle与建筑师Roland Henning、工程师Mario Gallinaro、制造商Dieffenbacher共同合作设计。
Text description provided by the architects. A new building is added to the Fantoni Campus in Osoppo (Udine), in Northern Italy. It's the manufacturing building "Plaxil 8" by Studio Valle Architetti Associati, designed by Pietro Valle together with architect Roland Henning, engineer Mario Gallinaro and manufacturer Dieffenbacher.
建筑长度为300米，高度为48米，与周边的工业建筑和自然景观形成对话，这座建筑如同一座全新的“大教堂”，位于建筑群之中，这里还有Gino Valle的设计作品。在建筑内部，建筑师设置了一条全新的自动中密度纤维板生产线，这是欧洲最大、世界第二大的压力机。这座建筑呼应了意大利工业建筑的发展历史，并且仍然保持着Valle Architetti Associati工作室与Fantoni公司自1972年以来就一直存在的合作关系。
The 300-meter long, 48-meter tall structure dialogues with the industrial and natural landscapes all around. It positions itself as a new “cathedral”, conquering a role within the complex that includes many buildings designed by Gino Valle. Inside, it accommodates a new totally automated production line for MDF fiberboards, the largest press in Europe and the second largest in the world. This latest building fits well in the history of Italian industrial architecture and keeps up the collaboration, started in 1972, between Studio Valle Architetti Associati and the Fantoni company.
Fantoni Arredamenti的生产设施位于乌迪内北部Tagliamento河谷的冲积平原，这里是毗邻Osoppo城镇的Rivoli工业区。例如建造于1972年至1973年间的设备中心，以及建造于2001年的多座工厂，这里的所有建筑都由Gino Valle设计，它们证明了这位建筑师与Marco Fantoni公司之间的持续合作，这也成为了这个项目长期发展的案例之一，该项目的一大特征便是其独特的工业建筑风格。
The production facilities of Fantoni Arredamenti are located in the Rivoli industrial area near the town of Osoppo, in the alluvial plain at the outlet of the Tagliamento river valley, north of Udine. All the buildings, from the facilities center (1972-73) to the last factories (2001) were designed by Gino Valle. They testify his continuous collaboration with the president of the company Marco Fantoni and they constitute an exceptional example of seamless growth for a project over time, marked by constant experimentation on industrial architecture.
Plaxil 8制造大楼位于Fantoni工业园区的核心地带，建筑师运用尖端的技术设备代替了古老的工厂设施，这里主要用于生产中密度纤维板（Medium Density Fiberboard ——MDF），公司的副总裁Paolo Fantoni表示，该项目投资大约为8000万欧元，但是是近几年来木材家具业内最值得的投资。
Here, in the heart of the Fantoni Campus, Plaxil 8 was recently erected, substituting obsolete plants with new technologically state-of-the-art equipment to produce MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard).. An 80-million euro investment that, according to the company''s vice-president Paolo Fantoni, represents one of the most remarkable investments in the last few years in the wood furniture sector.
Plaxil 8制造大楼建筑宏伟，占地约为8500平方米。制造生产线由纤维分类、垫层形式部门、持续热压部门、卸货区、堆放区、运输区，以及现有的仓储区共同组成。建筑最高点约高50米，较低的部分高度为14.5米。建筑墙壁自身既起到围护作用，又起到支撑作用。
Plaxil 8 is a majestic industrial building encompassing a surface area of about 8,500 square meters. The line consists of a fiber sorting and mat formation section, a continuous hot press section, an unloading and stacking section and conveyor belts to the existing storages. The tallest part of the building reaches over 50 meters, while the lower more linear portion is 14,50 meter high. The building structure itself supports both the envelope and the machinery inside.
这座宽度为28米的单跨度线性建筑由桁架结构所支撑，其内部有着混凝土空间，其中包含有各项设置和巨大的金属框架，用以支撑着西面垫层形式部门的不同层次空间。在建筑的长边上设置有两个通风口，这样能够让外部空气进入室内，形成自然对流，起到冷却的作用，减少机器所产生的热量，然后再通过14.5米高的屋顶通风口将热空气排出室外。
Its 28-meter wide, single span linear structure is supported by trusses. An inner concrete building houses facilities and a large metal frame supporting the various levels of the mat formation plant on the west side. On the long sides, two plenums intake air from the outside to create a natural convection cooling circuit, removing the heat generated by the machines and exhausting it as hot air to a vent located on the ridge of the roof of the 14.50m high linear section.
同样的结构体系也支撑着建筑和及其机器设备，设计的挑战也在于这个承重结构需要承担建筑和设备的重量。建筑的设计需要采取灵活渐进式的策略，并且以一些未曾使用过的机器的规模和尺寸为主导，最后的成果不仅仅是单座建筑物，而是一座建筑和机器设备相辅相成的共同体，甚至建筑成为机器的背景，形成不同的层次与深度。
The same structure supports both the building and the machinery. The challenge of the design was in specifying a load-bearing frame shared by both the plant and the architecture with overlapping erection times. The design process of the building had to take a flexible, step-by-step approach, and be led by the gradual development and sizing of the machine, which had never been built before. The final decision was that of not contrasting individual building shapes against the machinery, but rather to ensure that the building would act as a backdrop to the machinery, creating several levels of depth.
建筑的下部包裹着预制混凝土面板和波纹金属板，形成连续的肌理。屋顶的倾斜部分也覆盖着金属面板，形成有一定角度的圆角，而这个角度正好呼应了天空的形态。垫层形式装置的堆叠区和气孔则被膨胀金属网格结构隐藏起来。
The entire lower section of the building is clad using prefab concrete panels cast onto corrugated sheet metal forms, to create a continuous fretted texture. The sloped section of the roof is also covered by reflective metal panels, ribbed vertically to retain the large diagonal “fillet” that characterises the silhouette of the building against the sky. The stacks and the cyclones of the mat formation plant are enclosed instead and partially hidden by an expanded metal mesh structure.
现有建筑与新建筑形成对话，并且在园区内形成了统一的天际线，同时也形成多元素的空间背景。Plaxil 8大楼不仅仅结合运用了之前的多立面概念，而且还通过一系列的空间表面形成建筑语汇。建筑师将多个建筑空间延伸，并且在立面的肌理和透明度中形成了连贯的效果。
The existing structures enter into a dialogue with the new stacks and lines, and create a congruent skyline within the campus, a backdrop with multiple elements and scenes. By doing so, Plaxil 8 more than exceeds the previous idea of multiple discrete envelopes, and suggests an architectural discourse made of a succession of surfaces, extending past multiple buildings and glimpsed through the textures of the covers and the visual transparency of the screens.
该项目包括这座全新的建筑以及公司餐厅的修复和扩建，均由Pietro Valle设计完成，Studio Valle把工业建筑设计和当地工业景观环境之间融合的传统在这个项目中体现得淋漓尽致，而Fantoni工业园区的发展也仍在继续。Studio Valle和Fantoni园区之间的关系建立在时间的开放与思维的创新对话之中，同时这种对话随着外部条件的改变而不断地改变，然后再将二者结合在统一连贯的项目设计之中，这种设计方式并非来源于既定的规划，而是随着整体现状的转变而随时更改，同时达到精准的效果。
With this new building and with the recent restoration and extension of the company restaurant, also designed by Pietro Valle, the tradition of Studio Valle in experimenting with industrial buildings and creating interplays with the continuously evolving industrial landscape of the location continues. And the ever-changing mutation of the Fantoni Campus also goes on. The relationship between Studio Valle and Fantoni is founded upon an open and creative dialogue with time, a dialogue which accepts the unexpected and adjusts to change, integrating both into a continuous planning process based not on pre-fixed plans but rather on very precise ideas regarding the transformation process.
