NOI Techpark / Lot B6
Innovation & Regeneration
Research and project design
The design of Lot B6 is the result of a formal research where the static performance of the building and the architectural language of the work are aimed at optimisation. B6 is aligned with the industrial soul of the neighbourhood, settling in coherently and generating a new context marker. The design team’s compositional study focuses on the volume, reducing it to the essential. The building is pure, without contamination, absolute. Form and statics coincide. In the façade this choice is evident. It starts with the archetypal concept of the portal, an elementary trilithic object, and then develops it in a plastic key to create a strongly identifying element. From base to top, the monolith responds to the static behaviour of the structure, creating a composition that becomes lighter as it rises. This is how B6 expresses its natural essence.
Masterplan
The architectural volume settles within an urban sequence overlooking via Buozzi, in Bolzano, adapting its forms to the reference site. B6 is an elongated parallelepiped along the east/west axis whose compact, unidirectional development creates two distinct perceptual fronts.

NOI Techpark
The NOI Techpark (acronym for Nature of Innovation) is South Tyrol’s science and technology park. An imposing area, heavy industry in the past and innovation hub today, the scene of an ambitious architectural project of urban regeneration. Here will rise the Lot B6 project, a mixed-use development that will consist of office spaces, research laboratories and open spaces. Various players from research and innovation will settle in B6, including EcoCenter, UniBZ and the ITEC partnership.
