Historic or industrial buildings can be brought back to life

When decaying buildings of historical or architectural value seem to offer no alternative but demolition, the solution may be to integrate them into a new, modern and up-to-date design that brings them back to life.

With the help of modern materials such as polycarbonate, such historically charged spaces can be rescued and returned to the cultural or social circuit as functional spaces.

Regardless of the destination, the building can not only be saved from demolition, but can be transformed once again into a work of art, this time less elitist and more akin to pop culture, youthful and welcoming, where the oppressive formalism disappears to make way for a relaxed atmosphere.

The contribution of these materials can thus make it possible to give up the traditional approach in favour of a more modern or even unconventional one, which gives back the functionality of a space without giving up its cultural value. As many derelict historic or industrial buildings are incorporated into urban expansion, this approach can be replicated and can pave the way for the revitalisation of many other buildings that have been neglected, left to deteriorate or facing demolition. New neighborhoods can benefit from such culturally or historically landmark buildings and our mission is precisely to provide the right materials for such innovative and customized approaches.

Custom alternatives

The functional aim of architectural reinterpretation is to create a range of functional spaces for different purposes (cultural, social, sports, etc.) to meet the growing demand for self-organised and individualised alternatives.

Taking into account the diversity of cultural backgrounds, genres, ages and interests, Pintaplast’s aim is to offer diversified solutions for the most diverse projects. From almost completely transparent spaces with a clear and well-defined organisation to the modernisation of classic buildings, Pintaplast offers alternative solutions that add value in any context, even helping to create new communities.

Developing new communities

Pintaplast solutions are within everyone’s reach and can be used for a wide variety of purposes and are extremely versatile. Whether you want to build from scratch, preserve or improve the characteristics of a space, polycarbonate is a reliable aid to develop, create or even transfigure spaces where coexistence generates new synergies and new social relationships. In addition, this type of architectural approach exposes visitors to new types of activities, encouraging engagement and socialization.

The streetscape ย 

Such innovative projects are based on the idea of a streetscape – buildings, reinterpreted in a modern and informal way, open up the streetscape, inviting participation and interaction. And this is due to the specific transparency that influences both light distribution and spatial quality. The surrounding landscape becomes an extension of the open atmosphere of such interiors and, regardless of the specific use of each building, the whole streetscape changes, inducing a sense of openness, greater freedom and the natural need for transparency and unclutteredness of the environment in which we live.
