Ziggurat, Teheran, Iran
Teheran in Persian means „going downwards“. This was the starting point of the “Designing in Teheran” competition brief and, at a deeper analysis, one of the most coherent aspects of the city’s development during the centuries. Today, after a rapid and uncontrolled expansion, the city (and the country, of which Teheran is the pulsing heart) is like trying to find itself, its position in the contemporary world. The proposal for the Building B has its grounds in these thoughts, willing to picture, with its volumes and with the vitality of its functions, the ferment of a changing historical capital. The whole building is centered around the two concepts of tradition and dynamics (which implies innovation). The link with the tradition is in the reminiscence of the ziggurat, the pyramid-like temple of the ancient Mesopotamian valley and Persia, which was characterized by a series of ramps or staircases (usually 7) leading to the shrine, on the top. Building B is organized around a central monumental staircase that cuts into two half the floor plans and gives a strong and distinctive image to the complex. On the sides, six sets of staircases (each of them long as the façade on which it develops) lead from the ground floor to the sixth floor, while the central ramp leads to the seventh, the last office floor. The complex of the staircases gives the building a movement downwards, but also upwards, in a never ending dynamism that want to symbolize the new-old spirit of the city through a traditional element.

Dreaming Belt, TKK, Helsinki, Finland
„No hai banda! No hai banda! Yet, we hear a band“.Like in a David Lynch‘s movie, the dream has the leading role in this project. Our attention is catched by small details ,from everyday life,which after a first glancereveal themselves with new meanings: a table with a chair,a stair…The shape of the building itself is a sort of never-ending tape which bring us in a new spatial dimension.The Dream Belt is organized into two rooms,only one of which is possible to enter;the other one,closed by glass walls,is a „virtual“ space where visitors should experience a dream-like atmosphere.The Dream Belt is made out of birch plywood,painted on the top so to emphasize the tape-like concept.The plywood sheets are bent at the corners to form a continuous shape Advisors: PekkaHeikkinen, Kimmo Lylykangas. TASKS: architectural design; physical model 20
Urban Forest, TKK, Helsinki - Turku, Finland
The Tree House exhibition in the WäinÜ Aaltosen Museum presents the work of 19 architecture students from 12 countries who have been asked tointerpret the ideaof a Tree House from their perspectives.The projects have been developed through a careful analysis of the processes of wood construction,beginning with the tree in the forest and ending with the finished architectural entity.The many drawings,models and constructions selected for the exhibition demonstrate not only the diverse cultural backgrounds of the individual designers,but also the diversity of their understandings of wood,forest,and the tradition of Finnish woodbuilding.As a culmination of this work,the design of one student,Jessie Smith of Canada,has been built at 1:1scale on the museum terrace.The structure re-creates the spatial experience of the forest in an urban setting by creating qualities of light found beneath a tree or group of trees.It is intended to be notonly an interpretation of the Finnish forest,but also as an exploration of the possibilities of building simply,using only a single 46mmx46mm member profile to create the entire construction Advisors: Pekka Heikkinen,Kimmo Lylykangas. Architectural design: Jessie Smith. TASKS: collaboration in the architectural design; realization 21
The Flower, TKK, Helsinki, Finland
The flower house is a unit composed by four different spaces: a living area (approximately 16sq.mt.),an entrance (approximately 4sq.mt.),a storage space (1.40sq.mt.)and an outdoor terrace (approximately 5.50sq.mt.).The house behave like a flower and follows the daily and the seasonal rythm of the nature and the owner: during the night and during the wintertime it is hermetically closed to the surroundings;during the day and the good season it is open and transparent.The materials reflect this �behaviour� of the house: dark thermowood for the exterior and light plywood for the interior.The living space is a flexible space with different layouts for the day or the night: the sofa-bed is a key element in this sense.The Flowerhouse has a pretty simple structure that makes it easy to build,keaping the costs down Advisors: Pekka Heikkinen, Kimmo Lylykangas.

Kai Eichen Atelier, Tallinn, Estonia
“Atelier�is an interior design project for a Tallinn-based young fashion designer. The aim was to create a space, respecting the old walls of the medieval city, that would be like a blank canvas where the pieces of the designer could stand out with the simplicity of their cuts and where the designer could at the same time work at new pieces. For these reasons, the space is predominantly white and divided in two: one part is representative, with a small seating area and a changing room; the other half is the workshop. In the entrance, two light boxes separate the entrance from the changing room and, at the same time, backilluminate the designer´s last collection, hanging from the ceiling. All the tables, the hangers and the light boxes are one-off pieces specifically designed for the Atelier TASKS: interior design; project management 23

Vuores, Bologna University and TTY, Tampere, Finland
This project is based on an open architectural competition that the City of Tampere and the Municipality of Lempäälä have organized on the year 2004 for the land-use of the centre of Vuores.The purpose of the competition was to create a distinctive plan for Vuores centre of high quality both functionally and int erms of the townscape,and which could be used as a basis for further detailed planning and future construction.The living part of the apartments in the multi-storied blocks of flats has been thought as an open space with functionally independent spaces inside,instead of the rooms(which are present at the lower level of the bedrooms),recalling the general layout of the“centre”,at a different scale.More,this solution allows to catch the biggest amount of horizontal light,typical of the northern sun.Also the reversal of the traditional position of thebedrooms,recalls the architecture of the central zone. Windows are wide and “let nature enter the house”; colors have been thought in order to be warm but at the same time tuned with natural environment:so,facades are characterized by white painted wooden boards,strictly connected with winter sculptoreal landscape,interior walls are mostly white(with some exceptions),but floors and some other particulars are of warm wood.Water is present in some basins in the master bedroom’s terrace of one of the flat typologies and at the access of the building. Exterior elevations have been thought in order to provide,when possible,privacy from the access streets and,at the same time,to catch the largest possible amount of horizontal light:these purposes havebeen reached with the use of a big “screen” of wooden lists and,for the lightning,with orientation and with big windows Advisors: Gabriele Giacobazzi; Marco Prati; Matti Rautiola.
