HOMELESS PEOPLE will be safe This challenge is an opportunity for people who are passionate about the health and well-being of the homeless people to use their creativity to come up with ways to improve homeless people’s situation. A solution to this problem might apply to many cities with high levels of homelessness around the world. Utilizing Open Flat Roof Spaces of High Rise Buildings in the city of Glasgow. Looking on the overall view of the city, it is noticeable that there are many buildings with flat roofs, unused and initialized. Hence, it came the idea that it would be one of the most feasible solutions to try to use up the available space on the rooftop of the buildings. Providing new social housing units would only temporarily solve the problem, it is necessary to enter homeless in a rehabilitation program. The construction of new centre in the suburbs would worsen the isolation of these people and the further expansion of Glasgow would hardly be sustained by the already overloaded infrastructures.

The design proposal is not only to propose or provide a temporary shelter for the homeless but a long-term solution to this issue. Therefore, a ‘rehabilitation’ concept is applied to the design. As seen in the typologies of the proposed design, there are more than spaces for a home. Library, common space, kitchen, gym room, doctor’s clinic and etc, are proposed as the typologies. This allows the flexibility of providing the needs to different group of people, considering that homeless people have several needs to be fulfilled and resolved before receiving a normal home for living. Modular typologies are maintained while designing the typologies of spaces.This is to allow the prefabrication of materials, which helps to ease the construction, saving time and money. Also taking into the account that the homes will be built on top of the roof, it is very crucial that the construction of the units will not affect the daily life of the existing residents or users of the chosen building.
According to the studied statistics, the current amount of 6000 homeless people is expected to increase by 1000 people per year. After analyzing and finding out the available surfaces of flat roof in the city, there is an approximately 300, 000 m2 of roof area in the city centre. By taking into the account of giving a personal comfort area of 40 m2 per person, there will be an availability of 7, 500 bed places for the homeless people in Glasgow.

The dwellings will be built with the funds of the Scottish government and will be managed by the municipality or public associations4. The City Council is able to change easily the Urban Regulations to allow the intervention. Private housing, offices and multifunctional buildings are the most suitable for this purpose: it would be possible to extend the existing hydraulic and heating system. A separate entrance with its elevator and safety stairs would be added to the building, in order to elude conflicts between different functions.

Proposal plans for bigger existing buildings
The load-bearing structure of the units would be developed in Proposal plans for smaller existing buildings XLAM with a box structure composed of vertical and horizontal loadbearing flat surface elements. It is a dry construction system; the elements will be almost completely industrially produced, and they require only to be transported and assembled on the rooftop. Although modern buildings are generally dimensioned considering an extrasecurity load, nevertheless they will necessary controls on the condition of the structure, to assure that they could safely suport the new loads: solving the problem of homelessness would be an occasion for putting in safety the existing built volume of Glasgow.

ANCIENT LANDSCAPE will stay alive Susa is called the “key of Italy� for its strategic position and the Roman amphitheater in vale di Susa was a gathering space from a very long time ago because of its strategic location. The amphitheater is located on the historical road of Via Francigena which was connecting Western Europe to the Holy land (Rome). Nowadays, there are not many activities around this ancient amphitheater, even though there are many potentials in the area. I tried to bring more activities related to art and performance to this location to bring life to amphitheater again. In the first phase, I designed a pathway that follows the natural slope of the landscape, to give more accessibility and this opportunity to us to walk around the historical site and go to the upper level of the hill and explore the whole site. This pathway gives us three options: 1. Hiking the hill and enjoying the view 2. Entering the indoor art gallery 3. Entering the complex which has facilities like bar, outdoor and indoor seating areas and services.

The circulation in this architecture is in two different ways.There is a small piazza in the middle of the site that divides the functions into cultural on the left side and entertainment on the right side. The circulation in the cultural zone is more linear and leads the users into a specific route that follows the landscape and topography, but the lower level on the right side, the circulation is more free and the function is caused this type of the circulation to make people more free. The combination of different spaces and pedestrians made a united square full of open, semi open and closed spaces that is covered by a unified concrete roof. This roof brings unity into this complex and emphasizes more on the importance of the amphitheater. There are two physical models. The first one is in scale 1/200, and it is more showing the general perspective of the landscape and the amphitheater and its combination with the new volumes and additional routs. The second one is in scale 1/100 and it is more in detail to focus more on volumes and spaces. These positive and negative spaces show the covered spaces and the gaps in between them in a perfect way. There is a contrast between dynamic facade of the cultural zone and the other simple facade.

ROMAN AMPHITHEATER wil be expandable This thesis project is a development of the final studio project to provide this opportunity to rethink about this site and its potentials. In the second phase, I designed the amphitheater surrounding to make that more suitable for performances and shows. In this phase I answered three main needs around the amphitheater : 1. A roof on the north side of the seating areas to provide shadow for the audiences who face the south light 2. Extra covered seating area from the upper point of view for the ancient amphitheater 3. Two small and medium amphitheaters in a contemporary way with covered seats which provide the possibility for several performances at the same time All these facilities bring more activities to this historical site which makes a united complex as a show garden.

Every level of pedestrian has its own pavement design to emphasis on different strips on different levels.It helps people follow the routes in the correct way. Passing routes and stoping zones have different patterns and pavements to help identify the character of each zone. Strips of vegetation have important role in filtering view and sound. It is necessary to have filters between performance areas to make them as private as possible. The first phase design is on the higher level in the landscape and the second one is on the lower level.There are steps in landscape that made them connected as a loop, to bring more integration to the site. In each phase, I tried to surround the amphitheater in a way to make that more important. At the end, the combination of two phases, made the amphitheater completely surrounded by this show garden and let people observe this ancient architecture from different points of view. The main existing road leads people to both first and second phase in two different levels with two different context and functions. The first phase design has more cultural function and the second one has more entertainment facilities. And the second phase provide different type of facilities in itself in several shapes and levels. These facilities make the landscape more interactive and dynamic.

NORDIC PAVILION will be used all year After a deep analysis of the site and its specific characteristics we realized that one of the most important features of the Nordic pavilion was related to its peculiar topography. The pavilion is situated in a strategic position: a sort of junction, that unites the two squares of the Giardini and their different ground levels. So the most obvious solution was to exploit the back part of the pavilion by expanding the underground service part. As the earth, the new constructions that are underground open towards the exterior through voids and cracks. The voids created have irregular edges and also the roof has different inclinations as can be found in the ground. The concept of the design was to have on one side the pavilion expanding into the ground and on the other side the landscape’s vegetation conquering the upper part. In addition, in order to remark even more the connection between the existing and the new project we cut the existing wall of the pavilion to create a strong bond between these parts. In this way the voids and cracks enter inside the pavilion and create passages that connect the two different levels. Some of these openings are public and open all year long, while others are private and can’t be accessed in the summer period during the Biennale. Hence the pavilion changes its relation with the new design, depending on the season of the year.

1. TIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE : The design of the pavilion puts great attention in the contact with the nature, putting it even in its interiors. 2. CONNECTION BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES: Direct contact of the pavilion with its context, on two sides there is the feeling of continuity through the spaces almost without boundaries. Permeability and transparency of the building towards the exterior on studied views. 3. HOMOGENEOUS SENSE OF ILLUMINATION :The grid of the roof creates a sort of light wells that evoke the Nordic lights: uniform, bright and shadowless. The architect took the traditional architectural language and he entirely inverts it by completely revisited in a modern way. The architecture is not closed, but open on two sides towards the exterior and instead of heavy timber beams for the roof slender concrete lamellae were chosen. Inside the pavilion the light is almost ethereal, the natural illumination is widespread and shadowless.The feeling is not to be in a closed structure, in fact even the roof feels to be open towards the sky .When you enter in the pavilion the contact with nature is immediately perceivable, the space is thought as in continuity with the exterior. The feeling is to be in the middle of nature surrounded by the lights of the north.

SPORT COMPLEX will be more dynamic The purpose of this project is designing the structure of a sport complex that covers its roof and forms the rest of the complex and the other functions at the same time. The structure of the main basketball/volleyball hall continues to the lower level to create the shape of the smaller rooms and that is the reason of unity in this project. There is an open space between the main hall and smaller sport rooms for chilling and gathering.

“Stadiums are more than just facilities for organized sport; they offer a gathering site for people with shared interest, provide economic benefits to the surrounding community, and most importantly represent the advancements in architecture and engineering. When stadiums were first developed, their main focus was to provide enclosure for athletes’ play and little attention was given to spectators. Most Greek and Roman athletic facilities are guilty of this. While the general geometry of stadiums remains the same today, the structure itself has changed tremendously. As this thesis will point out, there is a multitude of structural systems that have been employed in the design of stadiums. As very big structures attracting a lot of attention, stadiums require good architecture. Designers have not been shy about attacking this problem head on resulting in an abundance of spectacularly designed and built stadiums, many with their own unique features.� It is interesting that how combining indoor halls and open spaces in a sport complexes could answer many type of needs. In this hall, there are two options for audiences: Entering the hall and staying in a covered space and following the match in a more interactive way, or walking around the hall from outside and being aware of both indoor and outdoor activities. Giving different options to people make the complex more dynamic and interactive.

RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX will be safe in an unsafe neighborhood The purpose of this project is designing a residential complex in an unsafe neighborhood. Privacy and transparency are two important features that was supposed to be considered in the whole architectural design process. Gates made the entrances more private and separated from the neighborhood. There are vast open spaces among houses to bring clearness to public spaces and make them safer places and the result will be less crime in the complex. At the end of the complex, there are higher buildings with wider open spaces close to the commercial zone of the complex. Two stories units have shared vertical circulation that are connected with covered corridors . But higher buildings have expose lifts and staircases in all the corners to make it easier reach to the units.
