The 2012 spring’s earthquake stronglysigned the local community, so the projectstarted with an investigation about citizen andperception of the place as it was. From thecollection of memories came the strategy foroutside spaces: a small courtyard was createdbetween the existing and the new buildings,as core of the paths and relations betweenfunctions. The new building is compact to leavethe outside space for free activities. The usednatural materials were a wooden structureand straw bale prefab walls. Environmentalstrategies to cut the energy usage are: solargreenhouses outside the workshops, a greenroof that together with the walls strongly cut theenergy losses in wintertime, natural ventilationfor summertime, PV panels to harvest energy.
