Centrale idroelettrica- Dettaglio

Centrale idroelettrica- Dettaglio
La centrale idroelettrica di Crevola: è un vero capolavoro dell’architettura industriale degli anni 20. Fu commissionata dall’imprenditore Ettore Conti direttore della Società per Imprese Elettriche Conti. L’edificio fu progettato dal famoso architetto milanese Piero Portaluppi nel 1923 e i lavori furono completati nel 1925. La centrale è in stile Decò, di cui Portaluppi fu uno dei principali esponenti. Il Decò recupera alcuni elementi dallo stile Liberty, fra cui la fusione di stili, ma abbandona la sovrabbondanza decorativa e favorisce il ricorso a elementi decorativi più semplici e geometrici. Un elemento caratteristico è la forma a pagoda della torre di raffreddamento. Nel 2017 le poste italiane hanno emesso un francobollo in commemorazione del cinquantenario della scomparsa di Portaluppi, che raffigura proprio la centrale di Crevola, a sottolineare l’importanza artistica dell’edificio.

The hydroelectric plant of Crevola is a true masterpiece of industrial architecture of the 1920s. It was commissioned by the entrepreneur Ettore Conti, director of the Società per Imprese Elettriche Conti. The building was designed by the famous Milanese architect Piero Portaluppi in 1923 and work was completed in 1925. The power station is in the Deco style, of which Portaluppi was one of the main exponents. The Deco style retrieves some elements from the Liberty style, including the fusion of styles, but abandons the decorative overabundance and favors the use of decorative elements more simple and geometric. A characteristic element is the pagoda shape of the cooling tower. In 2017, the Italian postal service issued a postage stamp commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Portaluppi's death, depicting the Crevola power plant itself, underscoring the artistic importance of the building.

Interesting. I love the Deco style, but this "pagoda" is surprising.

Me too and it was the first time I saw it. There are many in our area and mostly from Portaluppi. There are more buildings in Milan, some I saw.

ein schönes Bild und wirklich sehr ein ungewöhnlicher Baustil, der sich sogar chinesische Elemente einverleibt.
