Flexibility, sustainability and food are the main themes of the project. The masterplan is based on the combination of plants biotopes connected with agricolture, which are also integrated in the parametric facade of the buildings as garden boxes.The facade patterns act as a microclimate modifier reducing energy consumption. The structure is economic, easy to assemble and disassemble for reuse.

The designed park, square and theatre aim to generate a new social and cultural centre for the city of L’Aquila, in direct contact with nature and linked to the urban system. The park aims to provide an alternative landscape to the Appenines; the careful choice of plants drastically drops manteinance costs. The high energy performance of the theatre depends on passive measures and optimized HVAC.

piazza d’arte - bolzano 2011 - Honourable mention - Team: L. Martinelli, F. Bernetti, A. Marino
The project introduces a sense of place in a residual open space by reintepreting public open space as an “outdoor room”, where the elements of home (furniture, memories, objects) convey the idea of intimacy and community. Green hills articulate the area and support the thematic “rooms”: the entrance, the hobby room, the living room, etc., with specific activities.

The plan reinterprets historical typologies of the district, ensuring a strong connection with the existing cultural poles of MAXXI Museum and the Auditorium and the physical system of the river and Villa Glori park. The proposed energy system minimize consumptions by extensively applying passive strategies, utilizing renewable resources (for istance, the geothemal power fo Tevere river) and high efficent devices. The water system promotes closed cycles of collection-purification-reuse.

The refurbishment of the existing library to increment the book collection completely reorganizes the building, integrating it with a mixed-use volume that strenghten and renovate the cultural image of the facility. The complex distribution optimizes the storage and access to the different categories of books. The project also includes the energy performance improvement of the library.

The study compares the thermal comfort performance of two different renovation scenarios for a public space in Rome, including surfaces renovation and vegetation integration. The vegetation scenario (2) has the best performance. The analysis is based on PET (Phisiological Equivalent Temperature) index and Mean Radiant Temperature (Tmrt). The models used include ECOTECT, ENVI-Met and Ray-Man.

FACADE RENOVATION: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OPERATIVE TEMPERATURE SUMMER
54 The study presented a comparison of the energy performance and the thermal comfort of a building before and after a facade renovation, from a non-insulated concrete facate of 20 cm thickness, to a high massive brick facade (40 cm thickness) with wood fibre insulation. The non-conditioned scenario presented highlights the renovated facade specific effect. In winter there is a distinct improvement in termal comfort, due to the increased insulation. This amelioration is still more pronounced in summer,because ofthe impact of thermal mass with a relevant daynight thermal escursion.
