Description Residential building site in a highly seismic area with frequent earthquake activity. The choice of adopting a seismic isolation system, in addition to ensuring maximum safety in case of earthquakes even violent, has allowed a considerable lightening of the concrete structures making it possible, for example, to use all “slab-thick” beams with considerable aesthetic and functional benefits in the apartments as well as obvious economy on the cost of construction.
The "Residenza Forlanini", a combination of security, aesthetic taste, functionality and economy, is the demonstration of how seismic isolation is a winning choice even in contexts of "simple" residential buildings.
