The job, mostly carried out at the “Teatro Lirico di Cagliari” (Cagliari Opera House) consisted in welcoming the public. Availability and courtesy were absolutely necessary. The job, held in a bathing establishment in the seaside of Cagliari, Italy, consisted in working as a cashier in a ticket office. Attention and communication skills were required, because of a constant contact with a variety of reoccurring customers.

The aim of the workshop was to define a re-qualification format of one of the properties of the Monrif Group, the Royal Carlton Hotel in the city centre of Bologna. The project included the front garden, the facade, a concept for the rooms and the hall, and needed to be developed according to the principles of sustainability and urban greening.

Fondazione Prada has given us the task to develop a display system that could be functional to any form of art, sculptures, paintings, video and more, using a system that is extremely flexible and adaptable, easy to assemble, versatile, with a simple but sturdy structure.

The "Seamless Emotions” project begins from our desire to combine two main aspects of the exhibition design: the conception of an innovative display system at the service of art and the search for a new way to experience a museum space.

The cosmology of Palimpsesta Memories Ahmedabadof

The methodology studied here deals with extrapolating different elements (material, immaterial, natural...) from the site and making them become new “spaces” that will be described in a specific time chosen from an infinite number of possible times. This echoes the title of the studio: “Ahmedabad: Past, Present and Possible.”

Introduction - The Thesis The thesis evokes the Palimpsest that constitutes Ahmedabad as a multistratification of times and cultures, that are expressed both in presence of absences and in absence of presences. The focus of the thesis, like a primary cell of the complex cosmology of the city itself, is an area in the south east riverbank of Ahmedabad, at a critical point that marks the end of the historic city. The “Palimpsest” is a writing that has been superimposed on effaced earlier writings. It is a situation of multiple writings and multiple simultaneous Inreadings.the old wall times and spaces collide. In the new walls times and spaces collide.

The results are a cosmogeny of elements and an incomplete cosmology of “immaterial” materials, like a shore that collects and connects to give a new sense to once disparate drifting material fragments, fecundating them with greater life as the Sabarmati wetness does to the Gujurat dryness.

Thebuilding.second one is the main 1:500 series of sections and the derived 1:200 (building scale) that goes from East to West, facing the old wall.

The clarifying importance of that was found in both the sovraposition and the seriality of all the 56 1:500 sections (for the series, see Appendix 1), detailing all the different courses and slopes of ground, canals, road, walls, ceilings. Whereas the larger scale, studied later in this document, enlightens the multilayered materiality of each building. The last direction, through the South/West axis, is more fragmented, but nonetheless, effective to represent the various elements. a Palimpsest

To mitigate this effect, Reiach and Hall proposal was to carry out landraising of the low lying area of the site: The northern building, the section of which is shown on the right, is named “Creative Industries” and presents a basement that is raised 10.2 mAOB that seems to live in perfect coexistence with the flood events, even in the worst case of 8.49 mAOD.

The Forth Valley College, has been specifically formed with the landscape to accept and moderate the flooding.

TANK SECTION (NORTH BUILDING)

The Forth Valley College in Stirling was built in an undeveloped area of the city, providing teaching spaces, workshop spaces, creative industries, and social space. The area is bounded by the river and by the steep riverbank to the east.

The building, in order to be build in a risky area, will act to slow down the flood even in its sorroundings, letting the flood inside the undercroft tank.

AXONOMETRIC VIEW OF THE SITE

The study consisted in the comparison of the solution carried out by the architects with the SPP 7 and SEPA rules currently in Theforce.Planning regulations taken into consideration were: -Town and Country Planning (Hierarchy of Developments) (Scotland) Regulations 2009 -SPP (SCOTTISH PLANNING POLICY) 7 -Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 -SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) A previous flood risk assessment highlighted an area of the site to be a risk from flooding from the 200 year return period event.

Description of the intervention

The idea of the project begins with the study of a traditional reality, the court house of the Marmilla, in which the enclosure, consisting in factory buildings arranged around a large court, is reinterpreted with the aim of giving it new shape and new function. The place is in fact transformed into a receptive structure that consists in two new volumes that house the restaurant and the bedrooms. The general effect is the subdivision of the entirety into several semi-private courts.

Design reasons

The purely geometric concept that initially moved the design evolved to acquire a materiality that is best expressed through the use of wood. This material symbolizes the incessant dialogue between tradition and progress, allowing the visitor to come into contact with the natural dimension and at the same time guaranteeing the exploration of advanced techniques. The shape is manifested in a succession of lamellar blades and beams that scan light and shadow to create a functional portal that supports the asymmetric slopes of the roof. The roofs supported by a portal-based system represent an evolution of the sloped traditional roof. The portal was vital for the growth and definition of the project, a reference to the theme of entrance and to the vertical scan of the loggia.

A green area needs to be reassessed in order to have a decisive and influential role in the whole project and not only a background function. The classroom is seen as a efficient space in the center of the city but also a intimate refuge in close contact with the surrounding nature. We wanted to take advantage of its proximity to the recently revalued green area called “Orto dei Cappuccini” and the connection with two of the most important university centers in Cagliari.

Project theme The theme of the Laboratory was the design of new spaces for students to be integrated with the public areas of the campus and with the gardens towards Viale Merello and the “Orto dei Cappuccini”. The area is located just behind the former hotel of Ubaldo Badas, now headquarters of the faculty of Economics, and it is divided into several units facing the gardens.

ThePremise“Aula nel parco” (Classroom in the Park) project involves the construction of a study room in Viale Sant’Ignazio in Cagliari.

The intermediate level -1, -4 meters from the street level, is an open space that houses the study room in its spatial and visual freedom. The last level, -2, -8 meters high, is an additional classroom able to accomodate further students and recreational activities. Here there is a medium-sized patio, a remarkable source of sunlight. The inclination of the roof guarantees the right shielding from the Mediterranean sun in a city like DesignCagliari.

Description of the intervention It was important for us to preserve the surrounding greenery as much as possible, so we intervened on the natural slope of the land. The building, oriented to north-east, consists in three levels. The first level is at the ground floor, with the entrance from Viale Sant’Ignazio presented to the public as a hall from which it is possible to reach the floors below.
