Masterplan
The
new volumes fulfil the existing system and work as a grading element for it.
The
main unit defines the professional training area and marks the complex's limit
towards the countryside, while the rest of the buildings complete and work in
synergy with the context.
This
project gives life to a new urban organism: The SSIC Campus.
The
inner circulation has been thought of in a precise and functional way.
The
aim of the main volume is to make careful use of the plot in order to save
green land, used for outdoor training activities.
The
raised main volume creates parking and storage spaces, limiting the
environmental impact.
Project
The
project fits the given program in one, single building set at the edge of the
plot of land.
The
building is a single volume, composed of a serial repetition of simple
elements.
The
traditional typology is here characterized by the raising of the complex on a
platform and the space below answers the necessity of parking spaces and
different storage.
The
cover space is marked by the way to the parking entrance and, along the West
side, by a second entrance for loading trucks and its flexibility for use is
outstanding; it offers more outdoor cover spaces than originally requested,
that could be used for many activities.
The
access to the platform is simple, three ramps are located next to the
laboratory entrances that lead to the upper level. On the North side a freight
lift for goods and disabled people can be found.
The
volume containing the workrooms and teaching rooms is designed to be simple,
flexible, and functional. Somewhat like an industry building where students and
teachers can experience a professional environment.
The
big north-facing sheds guarantee the perfect light for any training activity
and the closed working spaces help capture the attention.
Structure
The
raised platform protects the building complex and installations from floods.
The
network of pillars underneath the platform, each having their own singular
foundation resting on a layer of gravel, is positioned optimally from the
static point of view, allowing for reasonable functionality.
The
plate has been thought of as a concrete slab (Cobiax system) 40 cm thick that
allows different activities and eventually a renovation.
In
the areas including two floors, the first floor is designed as a solid concrete
construction.
The reticular
metal structure shaped as a Shed covers the whole width and develops along the
length of the building, around 140 meters. The regular use of the same Shed
element simplifies the construction and allows for the control of costs.
Material
The project is
characterized by the use of material and manufacturing that matches with the
subjects taught in the center.
The raised
platform is simple and rational in concrete.
On top of this
rough structure lays a light metal structure, in order to contain the weight on
the platform.
The outer
coating skin is of a light steel inox. The internal coating of the walls and
roof are realized using a simple metal box (Montanawall), where installation
for acoustic insulation will be installed on the ceiling surface.
