Dolce Vita

Crescenzago, Milan, Italy Sem 6 - Affordable Housing Units St. Gobain Multi-comfort Competition - Group Work (2 Students) The concept is based on the 5 Senses of the human body; namely Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste and Touch. The idea is to incorporate each of these senses and make a building in accordance of these senses in terms of Aesthetics, Acoustics, Ventilation, Cultural Tastes and Thermal Comfort. The building started as a 5 Sided Polygonal structure which was then split into two blocks to fit the site more efficiently. The two blocks are places in such a way that they create a narrow passage between them while providing privacy and shading from the sun. The narrow passage provides a narrative to the building as it includes separate entrances into each block while having a common passage area that makes it easier to interact with the other residents. These are the qualities we’d like to provide the residents of Dolce Vita.
