Dupont is a nationwide company dedicated to several fields within the chemical industry, known for the development of materials such as neoprene,
nylon, lycra, plexiglas, teflon and the corian, amongst many others, not to mention their contribution to biomaterial usage making polymer out of
cornstarch.
The current market and its high competitiveness have forced them to consider and apply alternatives to promote creativity in the workplace
(implementation of work cells, home office, outsourcing, trainees, etc) which is why they need early talent attraction & retention plans. This
arquitectural project enforced a process of strategic stacking per area that would improve the service along with the product, creating an adequate
working environment with constant IT update to optimize every work session.
“Vive mejor” is a mandatory practice for every area that conforms Dupont. Communication between areas is fundamental to achieve the highest
business performance possible. When faced with a chain operation such as Dupont’s, the full understanding of the ‘whats’, the ‘whens’, and the ‘whys’
of every single operation are beyond essential.
Dupont’s core value is people, which is why a variety of solutions are considered to fully satisfy the different necessities of their different
communities.
The design was based on a fresh architectural trend that encompasses natural lighting, attractive, confortable, all equipped and well exploited spaces
that build and increase the sensation of happiness. Work positions were standardized to achieve flexible and functional realignments with more
assembly areas, a more contemporary all-round image, less personal storage space, and more archive zones per area.
The distribution of areas and work cells was planned to achieve more efficiency and logic in overall performance, incorporating new spaces
(relaxation, collaboration, focus, etc) to allow users a wide range of options to choose from when trying to exercise their activities the best way
possible.
The aim was to create a space where the external values and experiences sold through their different products, could be transmitted in-house. Starting
from the reception area, where the main function is transmitting the company’s philosophy within collaborators, the people they’re in touch with or
people accessing the facilities. A red and white scenery representing the strong corporate consolidation along with the usage of triangles as a symbol
of its structure, strength and order, refer to its interdisciplinary unification that grows stronger and more efficient every time.
Dupont is a working environment with natural lighting and pleasant temperature, with transparent walls that favor supervision and collaboration; a
modern space, functional and efficient that reflects Dupont’s corporate concept. With leisure spaces within everyone’s reach, including a wide and
enjoyable dining area that reflects the quality of life that is promoted in-house, the dynamics of an enterprise with technology and innovation pillars
are evident first-hand.
