Effective ventilation for the “Nuvola” by Fuksas

The “Nuvola” by Fuksas, in the Eur district in Rome, is a work of great architectural impact for which innovative materials and solutions have been chosen and applied, including Iglu’® by Daliform Group.

The “Nuvola” by Fuksas, in the Eur district in Rome, has been the main centre of the G20 summit recently held in Rome.

The project signed by the well-known Roman architect is a jewel of architecture and engineering, which combines the capital’s historical and Baroque core with the district’s rationalist approach, through innovative solutions, an environmentally compatible approach and technologically advanced materials.

It is a work of great architectural impact for which innovative materials and solutions have been chosen and applied, including Iglu’® by Daliform Group.

The Iglu’® disposable formwork is a revolutionary system for creating cavities in general, crawl spaces and ventilated floors.

The formworks, made of recycled and recyclable plastic material, thanks to their easy interlocking installation, allow the quick creation of a self-supporting pedestrian platform, above which a layer of concrete is cast. The cavity thus obtained will have a spherical shape and, with the connections outside the building, will allow a maximum ventilation. In addition to creating a "sanitary vacuum" with an adequate vapor barrier for the floor, Iglu’® promotes the disposal of natural radioactive gases emanating from the ground, in particular radon gas.

The peculiar characteristics of Iglu'® are rationality, ease of processing and above all the speed and simplicity of installation. The created cavity also allows the insertion of technological networks without drowning them in the base screed of the flooring, ensuring the possibility of inspection and integration with additional systems that may be necessary over time.

Daliform Group continues its research and technological development activities according to the guidelines that have determined its success: simplicity, rationality, economy. This study and experimentation activity has created a series of new components that complete the product range, increasing its application possibilities.
