REDEVELOPMENT OF MALGA FOSSE
Type
STATUS
Concept
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
The concept design proposal is based on the social aspect that defines every manufactured product within its geographical scope. This social aspect manifests itself through the design of an externally equipped public space, internal common areas with natural light, an elaborate landscape and hardscape design, a predisposition of interesting observation points and the contemplation of their surrounding context, and the desire to accentuate a constant permeable state between external and internal spaces.
The blatant poetry of the site and the breaking power of the valleys and mountains that surround Malga Fosse are the main inspiring elements of the project proposal.
The initial all-embracing geometry of the project is deliberately simple, with an intentional formal resemblance and materiality which recalls that of a barn, a traditional building typology of this mountainous zone. Two basic geometric volumes appear as pure elements: one is a solid block made of stone at ground level and the other is a wooden block with a pitched roof at the first floor level above. Both these volumes are subject to the strong influence of the surrounding context which manifests itself through modifications at their base geometry. For example, the monolithic stone block at the ground level is broken up by exfoliating the stone on the west façade, allowing the light to penetrate into the interior space across elongated horizontal incisions, yet not completely opened. Along the south façade, the landscape takes the upwind violently unearthing the building and making inexistent the limit between exterior and interior spaces. This semi-buried stone wall deflects its course towards the interior of the building, defining an organic and natural internal space while the perimeter wall defining the exterior of the building presents itself as a lighter and more transparent material, glass. Both the stone block and wooden block at the ground floor and first floor level respectively create a mutual dialogue through a common simplicity that defines both their language, yet both these elements have strong individual identities in their varying materiality and proportion. This evident contrast and physical detachment between the two blocks is purposely accentuated by the presence of a separating metallic element. As a result, the top wooden block acquires a sense of natural lightness, as if suspended, and is therefore not attached to its sculptural base below, the stone block which transformed by the forces related to the ground is capable of establishing a direct and poetic dialogue with its surrounding landscape by subjectively becoming a part of it.
On the first floor level the west façade breaks up as the wooden axes open vertically allowing natural light to enter the interior space. The configuration of the pitched roof, apart from abiding with the local code standards for snow loads, takes into consideration the different points of view of other neighboring mountains to create a harmonious integration of the building. The high formal, architectural and technological quality of the new building will become a point of interest for tourists, visitors and local inhabitants of this mountainous region during both summer and winter seasons alike.
