The master class students in sustainable architecture at Polytechnic of Turin developed a complete urban and architectural project for a Self-Sufficient Neighbourhood under the direction of Vicente Guallart (founder of IAAC and Guallart architets) and Matteo Robiglio, advised by Riccardo Pollo for technology and Carlo Micono for energy.
The Self-Sufficient Neighbourhood links urban and building scale in a smart design and demonstrating how radical ideas on Self-Sufficiency can reach reality, empowering cities to produced the whole amount of their needed resources.
The aim of the project is to design a neighbourhood reusing an industrial brownfield located in the north-east of the city with old existing buildings to be adapted to new uses.
The basic idea is to consider the city just like a human body composed by different parts following precise rules.
The purpose of the general Masterplan is to create a new Self- Sufficient Neighbourhood working on 10 topics which are ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, WORKING, FACILITIES, HOUSING, WATER, MATTER CYCLE, INFORMATION, FOOD and MOBILITY.
All that parts together are going to renew an old industrial brownfield turning it in a new district based on Self-Sufficiency principles. The purpose is to rethink about a new mobility strongly related with housing and working places and also add new kind of facilities in order to give more servicies to the neighbourhood.
All the rules of the Masterplan are then applied by the students in the building scale. Here are selected some projects which show how the Self-Sufficient Neighbourhood principles link urban and building scale in smart and innovative design.
In particular all of them pay great attention to the energy and water production and consumption according to the other needs of the neighbourhood .
For those reasons Self-Sufficiency is no more a theory which suggestes how to act in a further future, Self-Sufficiency can be considered a new kind of architecural approach from the urban scale to the building scale.
