GLASS FOR FACADE 2022

GLASS FOR FAÇADE - EDITION 2022 - 69 68 - GLASS FOR FAÇADE - EDITION 2022 The World Trade Center Lisboa is a futuristic space promoting physical and emotional well-being, with practical solutions for mobility and sustainability. Architecturally, it is an emblematic building that had the power to redefine while respecting the landscape that surrounds it. It presents itself with a fully glazed façade, where the glass is highlighted in all its splendor and architectural identity. It includes three imposing towers and a series of support structures, such as a hotel, an auditorium, and the World Trade Center Club Lisboa a business development centre. This building promises to offer a new concept, combining well-being with flexibility and digital technology. All this with a criterion of innovation and design reflected throughout its structure, as well as in its green areas, used for the practice of sports and restaurants, that greatly contribute to the physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being of users. There are 17,000 m 2 of glass that make up its entire façade. To respond to greater comfort and efficiency, the solution chosen was an COOL-LITE® SKN 154 II glass and STADIP SILENCE® laminated glass, this one to guarantee safety and acoustic requirements. The specific dimensions of this project led to the production of glass panels with a special dimension of 4.5 m to avoid a waste of glass and thus meet the building’s purpose of sustainability. This is an emblematic project that was born by the initiative of the FVC Group, which definitively marks the architectural landscape of the city of Lisbon, and which reflects the ambition of this group - to transform and innovate in the concept of workspaces and business centres, with a future concept in mind. Plasterboard laminated with stonewool solution Isover Geowall has also been successfully specified on this project for the partition walls.
