…about Josep Ferrando: Ignasi y Josep Cusidó [LAMP]
(English & Español & Català) natural light highlights textures | la luz natural subraya texturas | la llum natural subratlla textures [ENGLISH] In the work of the Catalan architect Josep Ferrando light is characterised by being treated as independent systems either with natural light or artificial light though both are expressed to distinguish between materials. He gives the former, natural light, pride of place over the latter and his work endeavours to get the most out of light. The architect prefers natural light from the sky which he always takes into account to let it seep into the building and fill the different spaces. However, Ferrando doesn’t make the mistake of always introducing light from above, but rather one of the devices he deploys most in his buildings, whatever their scale, is that set out in the programme using light patios. These patios allow light to be introduced into the building from wherever he deems appropriate and always in extremely careful fashion. Ferrando uses light to distinguish between the various spaces and he usually encrypts them in exactly the same way as the other elements going to make up the system. As lighting consultants, we are very aware how important it is to know how to make the most of natural light during the day and knowing how to substitute it subtly and inconspicuously with artificial light when it gets dark. The essence of the space has to be genuine during day and night, and has to provide a consistent sense with the time of the day, and the good use for this purpose of both lights, natural and artificial,...
ROCA
ROCA participa en el Consejo editorial-industrial de scalae 2013-2023Through its international companies and production centres, Roca is present in five continents. Its sales network is spread throughout 135 countries, it has 76 production plants and it employs around 21.100 workers throughout the world. Roca began its activities in 1917 as Compañía Roca Radiadores S.A, a company that exclusively made cast iron radiators for domestic heating at its factory in Gavà, near Barcelona. However, the rapid success of new products on the market and its firm desire to expand led it to expand its areas of business with the aim of diversifying its activities. As a result, in 1925 it commenced production of cast iron bathtubs. In 1936, Roca entered the porcelain sanitaryware sector and, in 1954, it began to make faucets. It was in 1963 that Roca became one of the first Spanish enterprises to enter the emerging air conditioning market. In 2002, Roca embarked upon a Group restructuring to organise its different areas of business into independent companies. This restructuring process culminated in 2005 with the sale of its heating and air conditioning businesses to concentrate efforts on the bathroom sector, world leadership in which was achieved in the opening months of 2006. Roca is an entirely Spanish company whose capital is wholly owned by the family group arising from its founders. +++ Roca está presente en cuatro continentes.
