The
proposal
for the architectural contest “Cittadella dell’Edilizia”
(Building Citadel) joins the design of a highly integrated complex in
the urban environment with functional relationships and a symbolic
presence in the involving city.
The
most important elements are
the mountain and the forest, in the south side of the site. The
proposal seeks to valorize these natural elements, treating the site
as a landscape.
The
functional program includes very different areas, which are organized
around
courtyards. These elements allow a better natural illumination and
also create visual relations between the different didactic and
working spaces.
The
functional program demands high spaces, until 9 meters high, that
could mean a strong impact on the existing environment. So,
this proposal keeps part of the building underground and the main
role on the scene is given to the green elements.
