of the project we propose the use of photovoltaic panels on the cover roof in order to gain energy.
● DESIGN OBJECTIVE The goal of this project is to give added value to the experience of every visitor, not because of the unique resources of the building, but also through social spaces provided by the organization of the building. The library is not only a supplier of knowledge and information through books, but also through the basic method of learning : social interaction.

● �UNCTION The concept of the functional management is the fragmentation, in order to attract both large and small investors. The towers and the basement are divided into smaller blocks according to the areas requested by the regulatory plan and externally connected by blocks for the elevators and stairwells to ensure greater

The towers are divided into two structures, one internal composed by that deals with the horizontal actions of wind and earthquake. The two towers behave in unity thanks to horizontal connecting elements that consist of large connected to the double skin.

The Concordia Lighthouse project aims to investigate the contemporary typology of the lighthouse architecture, its metaphoric and symbolic components based around the Costa Concordia disaster, when one of the largest cruise ships in the world has ran aground on the coast of the Giglio Island in Italy resulting in the loss of 32 lives.

LAKEBATH - TOWARD THE WATER | Guadalupe, Portugal
WELLNESS CENTER
The idea is not of a simple building but of a path. Trek kers, walkers, tourists reach the wellness centre by walk, tracing a route through the scener y. The building becomes then a fragmented path that meets the existing one and guides the visitor to the lake with several terraces as resting and viewing points. From above, the building appears as a very simple stroke, a simple rectangular shape.

CONTINUATION OF THE MONASTIC BUILDING ACHEIROPOIETOS | Lambousa-Karavas, Cyprus
RESTORATION
The theme was designing within a strong historical context. In order to design the continuation of the monastic building a careful reading was needed. The idea is to admit a partial construction of the design, even reducing it to the construction of the portico alone, which is a strong element to ensure readability and completeness. It shares the scheme of other

RURAL ARCHITECTURE
The installation of the new residential complex takes up the principle of settlement in the “village” given by the detailed plan, relating spatial characters with landscape conditions.

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK | International Wildlife Center - Muntsche Sabie - South Africa
SUSTAINABLE MICROARCHITECTURE
Not much can come close to that feeling when you spot an animal in the wild, especially when you are not expecting it. The Kruger National Parc, with its impressive variety of fauna learning with an enjoyable experience for everyone.
