Ex-ospedale Acquarossa

TASK

The municipality of Acquarossa asks, following last year’s research, to deepen the thought on the possibility of an housing project around the Hospital area. In the near future the area will undergo an important transformation due to the architectural competiton for a new Hospital complex on a parcel located West to the actual site. The old Ospedale building will than lose its original function and will present a great chance, in a sustanable perspective, to be eventually adapted and reshaped to accomodate the contemporary needs of the community.

An extensive research following the main cantonal road from Biasca to Campo will allow us to familiarize with the context and understand the delicate demografical situation of the Blenio Valley which will give precise guidelines for an appropriate proposal. In order to think about the future of this object and its immediate surroundings it is of primary importance to study its evolution through time. An appropriated proposal for a program that could complement the one of Co-Housing can be imagined. The contribution of landscape architects knowledge will be capital for the definition of the exterior spaces and their future relationship to the building. Reuse and energy sustainable processes are key to complete a successful proposal.
