Document Overview:
This technical document provides detailed information on terracotta brise-soleil components used in glazed curtain wall systems, specifically for the Campari Headquarters in Sesto San Giovanni, Milan. The architectural design was led by Arch. Mario Botta in 2007, with the product details developed by Focchi S.p.A. R&D Department.

1. Product Description

The terracotta brise-soleil is an architectural shading device integrated into the glazed curtain wall system. It serves to reduce solar heat gain while maintaining aesthetic harmony with the building facade.

2. Architectural Integration

The brise-soleil elements are designed to complement the curtain wall structure, ensuring both functional shading and visual consistency. The detailing addresses attachment methods, alignment with glazing panels, and structural support considerations.

3. Technical Specifications

• Material: Glazed terracotta, selected for durability and weather resistance.
• Dimensions and profiles: Customized to fit the curtain wall modules.
• Installation: Details include fixing systems compatible with curtain wall mullions and transoms.

4. Performance and Benefits

• Solar shading effectiveness to improve energy efficiency.
• Durability and low maintenance due to glazed surface.
• Architectural enhancement through texture and color integration.

5. Project Context

The detailing is specific to the Campari Headquarters project, reflecting the collaboration between the architect and Focchi S.p.A. to achieve a high-performance facade solution.
