Inauguration of SIEEB at University Campus
The SIEEB - Sino Italian Ecological and Energy-efficient Building - of the Faculty of Science and Environmental Engineering, designed by one of the leading Italian firms (MCA Mario Cucinella Architects) in partnership with a team from Milan Polytechnic, was officially unveiled on Thursday July 6.
The project is one of the most modern examples of contemporary architecture and is the result of cooperation between Italy’s Ministry for the Environment and Territory and China's Ministry of Science and Technology.
This partnership has resulted in the creation of a building within the university campus at Peking's Tsinghua University.
The construction is located within an extremely densely-populated urban context and is surrounded by very tall buildings; it was designed as a sort of leaf that uses and transforms sunlight into power.
A series of garden-terraces accommodate luxuriant vegetation and over 1,000 square meters of photovoltaic panels, supplying most of the electricity needed in-house.
As well as aiming to save energy, the building was also designed to reduce the deployment of resources.
This made it possible to save on water and building materials; those used offer the benefits of being hardwearing and having a low impact on the environment. The New Ground collection of porcelain tiles by GranitiFiandre was chosen for the internal flooring, as it meets environmental standards and proves a perfect match for the technical specifications.
Top chinese government officials took part in the official unveiling ceremony along with Italy's Minister for the Environment, Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, who personally complimented GranitiFiandre's Key Account Director Gianfranco Sassi for the high standard of materials manufactured and for the company's respect for environmental standards.
