RE-CYCLE COSTA VIOLA “a back way to landscape� in Reggio Calabria, IT (graduation thesis) This project is included in P.R.I.N. (Program of Relevant National Interest) Re-Cycle Italy, which deals with recycling of disused infrastructure. This park follows the line of the A3 highway, (Salerno-Reggio Calabria) now being demolished, in favor of a new highway being completed. Along this line, we recognized three main systems essential to understand the whole territory: - an environmental system, which identifies the grat Costa Viola SPA and five SCI in the park area; - the cultural heritage of the area, as the myth and traditions; - the demolitions map, which tells how the thet have severely damaged the delicate Costa Viola ecosystem.
Through this concept, we identify some i nteresting areas based on four main criteria: 1. Agriculture: new cultivations in wastelands, considered the first economic and ecologic activity of the whole territory; 2. Reforestation: strategic replanting of the vegetal species included in the SCI lists, especially in the damaged areas; 3. Economy: food and wine tourism activities and 0 km market where you can find and taste the local products; 4. Culture: narrative elements (totem, informative windows) from which you can learn the story and the traditions of the place. In the masterplan we deepen these issues in a smaller area : we consider only one of the six valleys shown in the concept, to indicate more specifically the tipical farmed terraces, the viewpoints and the markets.
The highway has two lanes: the lowest has been modified to accommodate a pedestrian path that is also a kind of balcony on the landscape of the Straits of Messina as well as the Costa Viola; the lane on top, to which also the asphalt has been removed, that has been reinforced at the sides of the roadway, to accommodate a large tank of 1.5 m depth. In the tank, filled with soil, there will be planted the protected plant species included in the lists of the SPA ‘Costa Viola’. This intervention was planned for several reasons: first because the top lane would become a vegetal filter between the pedestrian lane and the current highway placed a few hundred meters higher; secondly because that vegetal species would form a sort of botanical garden appreciable from the lane below.
This two visions definitely represent what was the expectations about the park. The aim is no longer formal, we don’t need to imagine an architectonical space or thinking about it in a monumental way, we need to reply to a specific question about a real and practise way to give back an entire territory to his community. We had to link each other a very complex net of informations and puntual systems. To do that, we used some of the ancient and the new paths, selected from the rural and the constructions area ones. That allows efficient connections, useful from each access point and from each type of visitors. Especially, the main result was to guarantee an indipendent system connection, in refer to the big relict of the A3 highway.
SHOPPING CENTER, in Cosenza, IT
This mall is the result of a formal excercise of conversion: the Museum of the Atacama Desert (Coz, Polidura & Volante Arquitectos) in Chile, was removed from his context, modified and converted in a mall.
CULTURAL CENTER, in Gran Canaria, ES
This building was thinked as a little Cultural Center for the district of San Felipe, a few kilometres out of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The District Centre includes collective spaces, study hall, a library and a cafè on the ground floor and a conference hall on the upper floor. The big stone wall on the main front is a pre-existence that we had to mantain as it was, so it has become the leitmotif of the materials of the ground floor’s facing panels.
CHERRY TREE HOUSE
This house was designed with the purpose of exercising the atmosphere that can be achieved in a space designed specifically for artists. The elements of this project are the studio and the house, two different volumes that flow into the space. In the studio you can find a small fountain, whose water feeds a body of water that continue aside the house. Inside the house, the spaces are marked by a modular furniture.
CHERRY TREE HOUSE FURNITURE,
The furniture is composed by several modules, different in terms of function and necessity, but designed to be composed together or used singularly. The kitchen and toilet modules have technical spaces to host bathroom fixtures and household electrical appliances. The modules also integrated some pieces of forniture: tables, chairs, retractable shelves. Most of this modules are closed by sliding doors that hide all the stuff that the furnitures contain.
FOOTBRIDGE, in Reggio Calabria, IT
The renewal of the Porticello area, includes two main interventions: the reshape of the river banks and a belvedere/footbridge on the top of it. This footbridge connects the two banks of a little river with paths that ideally combining the main lines of the possible routes. The walkways, crossing each other, also form a large square, a belvedere where you can see the Strait of Messina in the closer point to Sicily. The project also included the insertion of lighting, integrated to the handrail.

WOOD BLOCKS, in Reggio Calabria, IT
The two residential blocks are occupied by wooden structures, built with prefab modules. The facing’s also made of wood planking, the other parts are plastered. The masterplan shows the aggregations and the three different types of residence (C , L and Z shape) each of which has a private garden, in addition to the public green space in the middle of the block.
