CONCEPT With its compact rectangular shape, the CAVA Mansion aims to create an intimate space where interiors and exteriors blend with the surrounding landscape. The presence of the nature is visible from every point of the house, in form of a garden, the blue sky, the sea, or the finest desert sand. Two main axes structure the building. The first path connects the entrance to the main hall, the swimming pool, and the garden descending to the sea. Along this line, two ceiling vaults define the main space. It is here where the house displays its public character: an empty space that hosts the daily life in all its facets. This is the vault of a cave with all its primitive symbolic power. The second path develops itself from a cut made between the two big arches. A system of stairs and floors ends in two private patios, where rectangular openings in the ceiling frame the sky with its changing colors. From these two patios the paths lead to the private rooms. Outside of the building, in front of the sea, an enclosed space hosts a garden. The water defines an Oasis, a place where to listen, to think and meditate, to stare at the time through the succession of days and nights.

CAVA Mansion SUSTAINABILITY While developing this concept for the Mansion, we put a great effort in using natural resources rationally. In the present times, a house has to be sustainable in both its planning process and its life. To achieve this objective, we developed different strategies by mixing the newest technologies with traditional methods.

The whole outer facade is massive but constructed with a ventilated system to shade and protect the interior rooms. The building itself is planned around the possibility of opening windows in different points to guarantee cross-ventilation. The interior surfaces and finishes are made with precious materials, but the internal separation walls are built with rammed earth and hempcrete to ensure an optimal level of insulation. Both construction materials are produced with a low carbon footprint and have high thermal inertia. All roofs of the building are “green roofs� to improve insulation and absorb air contaminants. The Oasis in front of the building creates a pleasant microclimate. Desalinated sea water can be used for the maintenance of the vegetation. The stones for the facade are taken from a local cave (Jura Beige Limestone – Saudi Arabia) to minize transport and strengthen the belonging of the Mansion to the place where it arises.

Richard Long, Walking a Line in Peru, 1972

A sign, an addition to the natural environment by ordering the material that constitutes it, is enough to show the human presence in a place and to indicate a way in a boundless landscape. In its work Walking a Line in Peru (1972), the british artist Richard Long makes its way right acting on it and turns it into a specific place, in which the human artifice leads the feeling of security and familiarity. Castle Resort project is inspired by this simple gesture to define a line on the ground within the natural landscape. It is a path starting from the bottom of the cliff, going through the pines forest and reaching the fortress ruins on its top. The architecture is the path. The designed buildings are placed below walking level and they are built on the natural slope and show their presence through panoramic

View from the fortress


General plan


Roccamandolfi Resort terraces aimed at symbolic places on the territory. The fortress is the end of the path. Here the original rooms are preserved according to the medieval design, hosting spaces for meeting, resting and eating. The large terrace on the roof, which is the ideal end of the path, traces a new horizon on the landscape. Here architecture is not the subject, but the aid to contemplate the nature entirely from the ruins. The overall emphasis moves from single buildings to the natural elements. The language of the Castle Resort Concept is simple and rigorous using materials and tones that remind site peculiarity. Wooden structures with ash tones for permanents buildings echoes the grey of the local stones, while the dark wooden structure of the modular cabins defines the mimicry among the trees. The rise to the fortress starts near the visitors centre: here the architecture, which lies on the side of the cliff showing in several points the bare rock, offers to the trekkers a place in where they can find information on the park path , overnight accommodation and activities inside the Castle Resort. Leaving the threshold of the visitors centre, guests have the freedom to walk the path without interruption up to the fortress or to visit the architecture inside the park throughout the access ramps on the terrace that lead into the rooms of the castle apartments and suites at lower level. Here the spaces are equipped with full comfort facilities offering reading, relaxing and resting areas, far from the crowd and entirely drop into the nature. Complementary to the main path system, we find a second one located into the forest, lighter and more flexible and subordinated to the first. It is characterized by small, ephemeral and modular architectures that host landscape cabins and Tree-house Hotel placed inside glazed rooms completely embedded into the landscape and separated from it just by curtains. This design Concept involves the use of two systems: a wooden framework as bearing structure fixed to the ground and a secondary one, placed inside it, which accommodates minimum living space, as strictly necessary for an experience of simplicity. The overall Castle Resort design shows at a glance, the desire to create an architectural project content in size, in order to avoid distorting the essence of the place. The 1.750 sqm of the complex is considered as suitable dimension for living an exclusive experience in which Nature and Architecture could enhance each others.

DAVID CHIPPERFIELD AND MICHELANGELO PISTOLETTO ARCH AND ART Domus Padilion has been included in the project Arch and Art during the Salone del Mobile 2016. David Chippefield took part to the event together with Michelangelo Pistoletto designing a room with a room. The project explores the connection and the relatonship between art and architecture. This work expresses a duality that is principally between architecture and art, but also between architect and artist. The two rooms lead one to imagine two halves of a thing, but at the same time they make one think of a difference, a dichotomy, of something doubled or divided. They communicate two faces of a single idea, two things that compliment each other.

Bally Store Concept

Role

Architect

Bally Shop Spiez, Switzerland, 1930

The Bally Store Concept is based on a series of ideas that combine together, work as global idea generating the Concept Store. First architectonic idea is the wall. This is formed of different types of store walls typologies in order to generate the spaces and the perimeter display system. The second idea of flooring and ceiling, is made up of rough and smooth materials in order to complete the Store spaces with surfaces drawing attention on the perimeter wall first. The third idea of display furnishing, is based on and inspired by Marcel Breuer’s first Bally Stores and inspired by the work of Swiss/French designers of the Modern Movement such as Pierre Janneret, Jean ProuvÊ and Charlotte Perriand. Indeed, it was Marcel Lajos Breuer (1902-1981), one of the masters of Modernism, who designed one of the most inspiring Bally Stores, and it is from here that most of the ideas for the Store Concept are taken and re-elaborated, as in the stock wall concept in which display and stock coincide, and as in the idea of a shoe salon in the store where light furniture based on a re-invention of bicycle-handlebar inspired tubular metal f urnishing is generated to include foot-rests and shoe-mirrors.

The wall which creates appropriate spaces for the Store, becoming principally either a display wall or a stock wall. In its two different variants, the perimeter wall is seen not only as a technical component for the Store, but also as decoration. The wall is formed by a three-dimensional timber slat on which it is possible to attach a series of display elements in american walnut and aluminium, in order to display, hang and illuminate products. The way in which the products are displayed can differentiate the various areas of the stores. Continuous floor combined together with a continuous ceiling is the second architectonic idea defining the Store Concept. The ceiling is a continuous white, horizontal surface working in contrast with the flooring, which is a continuous, horizontal reconstructed stone surface, interrupted with coloured carpet inserts in order to define the different lounge areas.

Elevation - current situation

Casa Baffa-Coizet is an 18th century building listed by the office of Architectonic Heritage of Milan. The complex was originally used as family residence and manufacturing facility for silk. The whole buildings system and functions were organized around three courtyards. Courtyard is the typical archetype and spatial elements around which every activities were organized. The main buildings are the Villa, which was the residential building of the family, the Gallettiera, which was used to house the silkworms and the Filanda, where the silk yarn was produced. In addition, there is a series of other small simple buildings with different functions. The complex was in a severe state of decline and a dedicate full restoration project has been necessary and requeired. First analysis involved materials and architectonic elements, study of the degradation and punctual intervation as last stage. Purpose of the project is to define a reuse project of the abandoner portion preserving, on the same time, the Casa Baffa-Coizet. The restauration project was mainly about the wood roof structures and the facades: materials and technologic details are studied in order to maintain the historical value and the characteristics of the complex.

Sustainable Adaptation Strategies

Role

Student

Climate change and adaptation strategies for endangered regions are the main topics of this subject. New York and Kolkata are two megalopolis which have both more than 10 million inhabitants. Both cities are located in a very high-risk area for tropical storms making them vulnerable and making adaptation strategies necessary to protect them accordingly. Working on two different places so different has been a great opportunity to develop different coping strategies. In the first case study, Kolkata, the intervention are focused on future guidelines for a sustainable development, in the second case, New York City, the strategy involves the de-construction of the costal line in order to create a liquid city more resilient to natural disasters. The metropolitan area of Kolkata includes a big central area along the river where the very dense city centre is located. While the urban core is packed with buildings the outer parts of the city is still very rural. The project focuses on developing this rural area in a much more sustainable way and takes the needs of its population into account. New residential settlements must be safe for the population both during normal and emergency situations with flooding and tropical storms. To prevent flooding surplus water will be carried to underground tanks and reused later for the daily needs and during the dry season. New York city is a complex urban system and new buildings and skyscrapers and it is almost impossible to succeed with any redesign proposals to make is less prone to natural disasters. To nonetheless improve the vulnerability of the city during tropical storms, it was essential to take the costal areas into consideration and use it as a kind of protection buffers. Therefor various old industrial sites along the cost of New York have been converted into green protection areas and new functions with a low population density. A complete catalogue of protection measures has been designed with a specific focus on the regeneration of the costal ecosystem and related technologies.


“Perhaps what is needed is not just more towns and cities (in the conventional sense) but a new comunity which is quasi-urban and quasi-rural, one which products densities high enough to support an educational system and a bus service, but low enough for each family to get a buffalo or a goat or a banana tree” Charles Correa in Space of Freedom, 1989

“The edge becames soft and the limit of the city is now liquid. New modern way to think the society is liquid. All what is rigid is too vulnerable”.
