REQUIREMENTS “Aim at 3 spots with 3 axes”. (WTF?) Pool & Gym, section
ASSIGNED SITE#2 From our spot, nothing, either far or close, was visible. INTIMIDATION#1 Most projects developed around the 3 directions. We had none.

QUARREL Teachers still wanted 3 axes. DECISION No axe was ever said to be a visual connection. Then we do it different.

AXIS#1 - PEOPLE Aligned towards the closest village. Form genesis, Research center
AXIS#2 - WAR Only visual one, aiming at a WW1 monument. AXIS#3 - RIVER Latent axe, toward its alpine source. PARK#1 Patternized mixing the axes directions. PARK#2 To increase biodiversity, used 4 plants typical of the area, but lost over time.

INTIMIDATION#2 Prof.Piana is the main expert at restauration in Northern Italy. PROF.PIANA#1 “Use no glass floor for internal footbridges: you don't want paparazzi waiting for upskirts.” GIRL REACTION “I must start from scratch” (WTF?). GUY REACTION “I could sand the surface” (bullsh*t!). MY REACTION “Screw that, i'll use glass. But better”. ENLIGHTENMENT#1 Glass as structure is good, as pavement is bad: let’s do a structural pavement. OUTCOME#1 Same resistance, -27% glass used.

OUTCOME#2 Less steel needed, -35/40% tot weight. OUTCOME#3 Translucency, no banal transparency. PROF.PIANA#2 + GLOAT “Very good idea. Fix this thingie and patent it.”
