Montale (PT) DescrizioneImmaginiPersoneLocalitàDescrizione intervention: - This project has as its aim the creation of a polo school in the village station of the town of Montale. The complex includes a nursery, a kindergarten and a primary school with attached facilities and services in order to organize the school service in a functional and modern. Explanation of Reasons for the chosen solution: - The speech in question was conceived and designed in relation to the current needs of the school population, with particular attention to the need to provide adequate space for pupils with learning functions that give the entire pole complete interoperability features and independent living. Design choices tend to make three separate agencies with a high capacity to relate to each other, both as regards the formal appearance that for the exercise. Particular attention was paid at the time planning and activities. In the selection of the morphology and orientation of buildings is taken into account both the urban fabric surrounding the particular bio-climatic conditions exist to encourage an appropriate placement in the context of the intervention and organizing the structures in such a way as to limit the energy requirements maximizing favorable conditions in relation to exposure to wind and sun. The design choices were influenced by the desire to preserve the existing tree species. The result of this conceptual approach, is a complete integration between existing and project. The presence of trees, they become major and secondary elements at the same time. Their presence has laid down the guidelines became basic references. Through accepted? Importance and strength of these elements, as if to acknowledge the sacredness, the project is modeled both internally and externally as a function of them. The patios contain them by entering them as major players within the buildings and the perimeter breaks its linearity made of long straight walls, breaking, resulting in irregular angles, almost illogical if not refer to this presence which has been recognized as superior. The result is a complementarity that translates into big pots patios and outside walls fifth stage in creating a union that becomes added value. Estimate of the requirements and benefits: - The intervention will be implemented using building systems, facilities and technologies that have the characteristic cost, high performance requirements and limited maintenance requirements in order to have running costs over time. The strategy of low power is achieved and given the goal, in a nutshell, to limit dependence on building plants and encourage the spontaneous behavior. For this reason, and work towards building the body, particularly its housing, could be able to filter effectively forcing the outdoor climate and ensure expected levels of interior comfort with minimum energy expenditure. This capacity was, in particular the project, is achieved with passive devices (orientation of the building, thermal insulation). The use of large windows allows the direct gain on the south-east: this choice, favors same time reducing energy consumption for heating and restrictions on the use of artificial for the natural one. To reduce the implementation costs of mitigating factors such as passive solar shading screens are provided in fabric. The covers are made with a system that collects rain water to reuse water as waste water for flushing and irrigation of green spaces. In order to limit the energy requirements and costs to the covers, can accommodate solar panels and photovoltaic systems that supplement traditional energy adduction. The green areas will feature both as regards their lighting and care of automanutenute be through the installation of mechanized irrigation systems, solar lighting poles and planting of tree species that require little maintenance. The covers will become the machine room of the building envelope on Cu which will be allocated all those systems that allow the use of alternative energy sources and regenerate. All surfaces will be treated with any material with high safety and hygiene, preferring natural materials and traditional processes. Design • Bartholomeo Fiorillo, Parent • Vincenzo Torch, Designer
