DOMINATION/
EVIDENT PV
The Pv system is dominant in
linguistically and expressive
reading of the building envelope.
It is very recognizable and
perceptively emphasized due to
the use of photoactive materials
and construction system. The
perceptive emphasis announces
on showy manner the presence of
the solar system, also thanks to
specific technological choices at
the module scale and at
constructive element level.
