The architecture of the new Nice smart factory contributes to efficiency and production quality. The building changes the idea of a manufacturing space with a closed and compact structure, with one of maximum openness and permeability, creating a dialogue with the community and the environment; the design interacts with the surrounding landscape, reinterpreting traditional architectural elements and encouraging the passive environmental characteristics and re-establish a relationship between architecture and nature. It is designed to achieve LEED certification and the 4.0 industry principles.
