Sgonico Town Hall
The project was a design
for the renovation and extension of the existing Town Hall.
The existing building,
restructured, was designed with the intention of being used mainly for
administration, with the exception of the Council Chamber, which remained in
the part of the building already occupied.
The project for the ‘new’
building (built on two levels above ground), which makes up the extension,
started from considerations of diverse nature all intended to obtain many
objectives:
- to rationalize, first of
all, the public building, both from the point of view of its function and from
the point of view of its relationship with the citizen whom it serves;
- to redefine the volumes,
re-distributing and re-collocating functions in accordance with the new formal
and volumetric lay-out;
- to ‘redesign’ the ‘Town
Hall’ building, with its own autonomous and recognizable characteristics, of a
decidedly typical nature;
- to design an
architectural and environmental re-composition which, linking up with the more
or less evident ‘latent’ geometry, would “gel” with the planned space and
improve the overall quality. The many fundamental aspects, compared and
calibrated among themselves, were taken into consideration, and the plan to
renovate the town hall was thus drawn up.
The project involves an
eastward extension, making a whole new body of the building, conforming to the
present structural geometry. Planned directly parallel with the road, and
hinging on a vertical glass connecting element that divides the two parts of
the building, the new building appears like an extended double building
following the planimetric lines of the place.
The new extension was
designed principally for mainly ‘political’ functions (a new Council chamber,
and offices for the mayor and the town councilors). In the new building thus
designed, the previous problems of space have been resolved. An answer has been
found to the logistic needs as previously ascertained, and at the same time,
functions and services have been rationalized.
The new extension is connected
to the existing building by the new entrance, which acts as a hinge between the
two; it is a vertical connection and functions as an architectural “unifier”, a
glass body which leads into the new wing of the building.
On the ground floor a short ramp leads into a
large hall from which, on the right an access room leads into the new Technical
Office. There is a garage accessible from the outside which completes the new
block.
Access to the upper floor is either up the new staircase or in the lift.
Here, in sequence, there are 2 offices for the town councilors, the mayor’s
office and finally the Council chamber.
The new extension was designed to be used as an
element in itself, separate from the administrative functions of the existing
building and yet part of it (inside the duel architectural personality is
barely perceptible).
