Arquitectes per l’Arquitectura, together with Trespa Iberia, call for a Design Contest for young architects and architecture students. This call raises the development and adaptation of the old Telefónica de Francesc Mitjans building on Avenida de Roma in Barcelona to the new realities of energy demand, sustainability and urban landscape, as well as to housing policy.

Bases

Students and professionals in architecture under 40 years old can participate in this contest, in collaboration with other disciplines.

Opened in 2017, the laboratories of the Roslin Innovation Centre serve as an incubator space for animal bioscience research at the University of Edinburgh’s Easter Bush Campus. Located across three floors in both north and south blocks of the complex, the new laboratories have an open plan and host 285 workstations that showcase furniture manufactured with Trespa^® TopLab^®BASE.

To make it easier to bring the unrivaled beauty of ipe hardwoods to homes and light commercial buildings, Trespa is adding a new décor to its Trespa Pura NFC^® siding line: Tropical Ipe, PU30.

Introducing brand new, unique HPL decors for outstanding façades

The Trespa^® Meteon^® collection of cladding panels for ventilated façade systems has been enriched with new, unique HPL decors in the Focus, Lumen, Naturals, Wood and Uni Colour series, clearing the way for boundless creativity and endless design possibilities.

The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona’s Department of Chemistry buildings provide the perfect setting for a thermographic study on thermal comfort and energy efficiency performance comparing a ventilated façade with one made of concrete. 

Trespa is extending its popular Trespa^® Meteon^® Naturals range of durable exterior panels with the addition of two distinctive decors. With these new products, Trespa is catering to the growing demand for variations of grey in the Trespa^® Meteon^® Naturals range. 

Trespa’s 98% reliability of supply within confirmed lead times are made possible by departments working closely together. Planning, presses and planning warehouse & shipping have focused on cooperation, consistency and ongoing improvement, resulting in overall excellence. How have they reached this? Planner hans groels, production operator bart peeters and planner warehouse & shipping emiel op heij share their insights, best practices and ideas going forwards.
