Stalingrad project puts Wienerberger flat tiles in the spotlight

At the'issue of'' a vast online consultation (more than 22.000 prescribers),'ArchiDesignclub and Muuuz Magazine awarded the firm fresh architectures (75011) for the Stalingrad project, the cladding of which is made of flat Wienerberger tiles (plate 301) ...

Indeed, for the creation of the facade of this building, located Place Stalingrad in the 10^e arrondissement of Paris, fresh architectures, winner of the competition organized by SIEMP in 2009, asked Wienerberger to create a special glazed tile for the occasion.

For Julien Rousseau from fresh architectures : “This housing building is located at the confluence of different flows: pedestrians, cars and skytrain. Thanks to the faceted geometry, we wanted to reveal this dynamic of the place. The glazed tile covers thewhole building, from the roof to the facade, showing theenvelope of the building like a sparkling and protective alcove in an environment in perpetual movement. The cladding in flat tiles gives it a unique image in the Haussmannian landscape in Paris. In addition, the tile that sdo not self-clean with the rainis not affected by pollution deposits. In order to guarantee greater stability over time, the tiles on the facade have to be'moreover been reinforced by a polycarbonate canvas glued to the back of each tile. This unique process developed at the request of the master'work (SIEMP), by fresh architectures, Wienerberger and thegeneral contractor Tempere Entreprise, represents an innovation in order to respond to an exposed environment, while remaining invisible from the'outside. "

It should be noted that high environmental requirements have favored the design of a compact, energy efficient and easily reproducible building. Insulation from the outside, connection to district heating and the installation of thermal solar panels on the roof, allow it to obtain the Habitat & Environnement and BBC Effinergie Climate Plan labels from the City of Paris, while reducing its footprint. ecological. In the same vein, it should be noted that the rainwater from the garden is collected for delayed watering in dry weather and for the maintenance of technical rooms.
