Chemical & Microbiological Laboratory by Penelas Architects. Post-industrial aesthetic with Islamic facade

Abstract

The building hosts a microbiological and chemical analysis laboratory with extremely complex functional facilities. This requires great functional efficiency in its final use compatible with a hyper-advanced image that, in parallel, aims to evoke emotions. The building presents a marked post-industrial aesthetic character. The building reactivates the powerful surrounding industrial landscape. Through its perforated facades, it filters the environment and generates its own interior landscape.
