Design Intent The premise of this design was to develop an understanding in which space relates to a cross collaboration between students and teaching staff. The program needs to not only educate the users, but also educate the public about the field of robotics. Develop a bridge across the estrange relationship of robotics technology and the public norm. These spaces must become familiar with the users and the technology of today’s progressive robotic movement so that the public and users can use it to effectively progress in the field of robotic technology.

F e r r a r i H e a d q u a r t e r s The area lies at the heart of the industrial complex Ferrari in Maranello. The research center, located between the Wind Tunnel and the building of the engineering sector, represents the predominant image of Ferrari SpA. This building houses the offices of the technical direction of Ferrari.
Above the water line a few walkways create an interconnected network between the two meeting rooms, each distinguished by their colors, red and yellow. The water and its reection are the main elements of the project. The second element modifies the first, in time and space, that is the elimination of the concept of space and time.

The project comes from the desire of bringing the natural environment into this high-technology complex, so to create a comfortable working place. Electricity, water and bamboo plants are used, so the building could become the landscape itself. The whole is dominated by an embossed volume that extends 7 meters above the entrance area, separated from the rest of the building and suspended above the water surface, that covers the lower volume. The last one is the main iconic landmark of the building.
The water becomes a vehicle of change for the architecture designing new spaces, thanks to the presence of reections and glares caused by light beams from the cuts of the suspended volume. Below the thin tank that, hit by the sun, gives the idea of containing precious metal material, almost a forge of the industrial creation, there is an area of bamboo, an ordered rectangle of nature, able to filter the light and dissect it in a thousand directions.

Concept
Axial
Stacked
Setting axis to building and site is important to develop scale and hierarchy within the design. Axis is used in this design to balance technology and function.
Introverted
Stacking can be uniform or random, causing tension or relief to the eye. Using a stack of uniform structure with a random massing allows this design to simulate that tension and relief.
There is a lot of controversy that comes with the development of robotics technology. I wanted the users to feel that this building that they had their own space while at the same time they could view the space of other.
