Introdution The proposal of work under the subject of Outdoor Design, Politecnico di Milano (2016/2017 school year) consisted in the plannification of a space located on the beach of Rimini, Italy. Taking into account our knowledge, we have created several products and a micro architectural infrastructure for the place, which consists of three distinct areas: one of grass, another of sand, and another one of water; we create a certain concept for each part, related to the activities that people practice in the city, however we focus on the wellness of the users, the multifunctionality of the products and the contrast between certain activities.

The starting point was not just, but also the colors of Rimini, and the sunshades, which are quite colorful and immediately attracted attention as inspiration.This work went through several phases, from the initial research of the space in question, which were unknown to us, until the final product is finished; that way, the objectives of the project were completed.

Rimini

5

About Rimini is the region of northern Italy and the capital city of the Province of Rimini; “is one of the most famous seaside resorts in Europe thanks to its 15 km long sandy beach, over 1000 hotels and thousands of bars, restaurants and nightclubs.

The first seaside resort opened in 1843. A city of art with ancient Roman and Renaissance monuments”. Rimini’s cuisine is simple and characterized by intense flavours, related to the traditions of rural culture, with peculiar influences due to the city’s position between the sea and the hills.

Colors Rimini is also very characteristic for the diversity of colors of the sunshades and other beach decor items that create a wonderful colorful and fun place. For us this has been a point of inspiration for working on chromatic scales for our project.

A characteristic tonality analysis was made, based on photos of the region.

Volleyball

Tchoukball

Beach volleyball is a team sport played on the Olympic sand since 1996. Two teams of two players each collide on a sandy field divided by a net.

TchoukBall can be played on any kind of terrain, simply because the ball during an action must never touch the ground. The most commonly used game versions are in the gym (preferably parquet) for game 7 vs. 7, while for game 5 vs. 5 you prefer the beach and the grass. The size of the field varies according to the number of players. The field for game 7 vs. 7 corresponds to a basketball court (28m x 15m) and for game 5 against 5 becomes 22m x 12m.

11

Beach Tenis

Basketball

Beach tennis is a sport designed and developed in Italy, derived from the game of rackets, that in turn derived from tambeach. Players must beat and rebut the ball on the fly. The succession of a game score is: 15-30-40-victory without the benefits. There is no second ball of service, so the foul error gives a 15, as well as the foot foul.

Basketball is a team sport where two five-player formations each face to score with a ball in the opponent’s basket, according to a set of predetermined rules. It can also be played on the beaach.

multifunctionality

20

Multifunctional landscapes, by definition, are designed for multidimensional benefits. Landscape architects, architects, designers and planners are charged with designing landscapes that meet diverse human needs, while also facilitating ecosystem functions that, directly or indirectly, contribute to human well-being. In other words, the creation and maintenance of healthy human settlements share the same principle of that of healthy ecosystems.

The concept of multifuncionality is present in some of the products that we designed have multiple functions, adapt to different situations and surfaces, creating dynamism to the beach and allow the minds of the users.

21

MicroArchitecture

Microarchitecture is the term used to describe the resources and methods used to achieve architecture specification. The term typically includes the way in which these resources are organized as well as the design techniques used in the processor to reach the target cost and performance goals.

We create a microarchitecture that allows interactivity, crosses the boardwalk and develop active activities.

Rimini is a place where there are musical events almost all year round, and many of them outdoors, as is the case of the jazz sessions that take place on the beach during the hottest time of year.No entanto, Rimini is also a peaceful place where people go to relax and be peaceful. Why not combine the excitement of a night club with the tranquility of a jazz concert and a yoga session? This was the main goal for this circular microarchitecture of 9m of maximum lenght, 8m of diameter and 2,5m of height.

The struture consists of two floors, an upper one, with a security structure in glass, where there is a garden for people to relax during the afternoon and for quiet concerts, and a low floor, interior, with several windows that open to the exterior, where people can practice aerobic, yoga and meditation. The interior materials were chosen by the companies’ catalogs: Cotton d’este and Elítis.

During the night, both the top floor and the lower floor turn into a bar. The yoga objects are easy and quick to keep and the surfaces easy to clean, so that this day/night transition is made in as few steps as possible.

In the exterior we can see a ramp of 1 meter of width, to be also accessible to wheelchair people and pushchairs.

All the struture of this architecture element is made of cement, with the windows with edges in metal. The exterior lining of the walls is with kerlite and the inteior with small handmade tiles wallpaper from Elitis.

Yoga rug & coffee table

34

Inside the microarchitecture, during the day, the main activity that is practice is yoga. For that, we’ve created an aerobic rug that is enough maleable, ir order to change the form according to the position or the exercise that the user pretend.

There’s a confortable white triangle in the product where there is enough space to put the head, that works like a pillow, so the user can hold a right position of the body.

The rug is accessible to people of all ages and sizes, with 50cm of width and 190cm of length, and 5cm of thickness.

35

It’s made of a non-abrasive and soft pvc cover, and an on-slip bottom surface to prevent movements during exercise; it alo have reinforced corners that relief the pressure, prevent bumps and optimize cushioning.

The multifiunctionality is present, once the rug can be folded and turned into a table to put a bottle of water and yoga accessories. There’re three different colors available: yellow, red and green, inspired in the colors of the sunshades.

Tchoukball & Chair Tchoukball is a non so popular sport that is practiced in the beach of Rimini.

To practice this sport, it’s only necessary a ball and a “frame, that is a device similar to a trampoline off which the ball bounces.

We decided to create a “frame” to play, that at the same time can be a comfortable chair, to stay on the shadow talking with friends until the end of the day on the beach. The form was inspired in the frames of tchoukball that already exist, with the perfect dimensions to play. It’s 50cm of width and 65cm of height, with elastic net on two sides and impermiable textile in the other one, to sit.

38

Material to sit City Linen New “revolutionary� linen lining. This linen is also 100% outdoor; Very resistant to sunlight and humidity, is ideal for everything that makes us dream (spa, yacht or terrace on the edge of the pool, ...).

The color palette focuses on the essence, enriching the color palette with fluorescent colors and colored grays.

It is sturdy enough to withstand with the wind due to the tubes of aluminum of the structure, but at the same time it is light enough, so it tcan be easily moved to the position of the chair, with some simple movements.

The colors are also yellow, red and green, that fit on the colors of the other products that have been created.

41

sun lounger

42

Following the yoga rugs, and to create an uniformity and relation between all the spaces, we adapt the same shape to a sun lounger chair.

It is a chair with a fixed position for sunbathing or simply relax and read a book on the beach.

An ergonomic study was done to create dimensions accessible to all ages: 190cm of length, 58cm of width and 60cm on the heightest part, to put the head.

It’s made of a very confortable pillows for the outdoor that are impermiable and coated with the same textile as the tchoukball chair, from Elítis.

The struture is in plastic, that is enough resistent to the sun, water and sand, and it doesn’t get so hot as the metal.

The colors of the product remain, compared to other products, working as a collection.

43

Sunshade

44

The parasol is one of the essential products for the beach. We are accustomed to see the round shape of this product, that works like an umbrella, however we modify it a little bit.

The main form of the parasol still circular, but with four pieces that move all around and which are located at different heights, in order to create different tonalities of shades c reated thanks to a micro-perforated fabric to filter the temperature.

The structure is in plastic, and have a small but practical table in the middle, so the user can use it to put the belongings.

At the end of the day, when it is not necessary to use the sunshade, it can be arranged, that is, closed very easily, placing only the shapes downwards, pressing them against the central cylinder.

45

Waste containers Pollution is defined as any destructive or potentially destructive material that is introduced into the environment, and the pollution on the beaches is a realitty which we must combat. Following this idea, we created three small trash containers organized according to the recycling of the materials.

The containers can be joined together, but also separated, because they have a support where it is possible to bury in the sand.

We just designed the main colors, however there may be more colors, such as brown for undeferred garbage and a black one to put the tobacco ashes, for the smokers.

Playground

50

Everyone enjoy a nice playground in the water. Inspired by that, and specially for the kids, we create a big modular playground ccessible to people of all the ages.

In this playground people can just sit or lie down, or climb, jumb, slide and have fun with all the forms of the products.

We follow the same palete of colors as before; the shapes were created according to the activities that we defined for this product.

All the forms are made of inflatable plastic, one of them have a net too, and some hooks with plastic protection to join the modules.

The modules can be conjugated in infinite ways, with a short or a long extension.
