Ferrari Museum In Italy Is GeoThermal Powered, Boasts Sustainable Construction

Ferrari, the sports car legend has opened up a new Museum in Modena, Italy. Working together with Future Systems and Shiro Studio designed a museum dedicated to the man, Enzo Ferrari. The building stands on a sustainable partial bermed construction and is powered by geothermal energy. (Over 50% of the main exhibition building is set below ground level) It maintains the temperature (cool or warm) inside. The windows have thermo sensors, which get activated during summer to allow for cool air to circulate, increase energy efficiency and decrease energy use.

The museum building also sports photovoltaic technology and water recycling systems. The bright yellow exteriors are coupled with modern white interiors, giving it a plush futuristic look. The building's ceiling is made up of translucent materials, thereby letting the natural inside. We loved the curves of the building that represent the stylish curves of Ferrari cars.
