TYPSA, commissioned with the design of the Technological Centre for Development and Experimentation (CETEDEX) in Jaén, at the end of last year, had the honor of attending the official presentation of the project´s progress organised by the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA), in attendence were the Minister of Defence, Ms. Margarita Robles, the Secretary of State for Defence, Ms. Amparo Valcarce , and the mayor of Jaén, Agustín González Romo, among other civil and military authorities.
During the event, Antonio Capilla, director of the Buildings and Cities division at TYPSA, presented the design principles and the work done by the team up to the recent delivery of the detailed design which TYPSA leads together with the team of Morph architectural studio.
The campus is to be a centre for excellence and aspires to become a national and international reference, within the field of defence technology research. With a high-quality architectural and landscape proposal, it will contribute to reinforcing the values of INTA and the Ministry of Defence, where the future of research in drone defence strategies, autonomous and connected vehicles, and artificial intelligence are integral parts of the programme.
For TYPSA, CETEDEX not only represents a breakthrough in terms of unique architecture, and energy efficiency in infrastructure and construction, but also a firm commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Conceived as a landscape-integrated campus, materially and functionally sustainable, it is clearly representative of the excellence in research and avant-garde technology proposed by INTA.
The choice of materials, nature-based energy efficient solutions, and the flexibility of spaces and uses, are essential cornerstones to improve and preserve its unique environment and CETEDEX will become the first campus to apply LEVEL(s) criteria.
