Buffet Cancer Center

A contemporary building with an energy saving enclosure

This building has been designed with a porcelain rain screen system. This system has main advantages: Breathability: thanks to the breathable insulating materials and the absence of paints and primers. Shielding: the air gap allows the irradiation directly incident on the wall to be interrupted, thereby obtaining a reduction in the heat accumulated by the walls, as well as its elimination inside the gap by means of the chimney effect that is generated. The elimination of the rain from the insulating layer and the greater exchange of air during the damp season are added factors. Duration: the application of stoneware slabs allows the surfaces to have unparalleled resistance and durability over time.
