PERSONAL INTRODUCTION The problemathic of the abandoned building is a current point of the XXI century architecture. Many buildings, from smal to big scale, lost their primary function and their interest and waiting to a solution they are simpy abandoned. This is the case of an important symbol of the sud-est architecture: Dom Revolucije, in the cit of Niksic. This immense building result a typical subject of the Rem Koolhasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theory about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bignessâ&#x20AC;?. In other words, the main problem is that the building lost its relation and connection with the surrounding environment. At first I decide that was important to rehabilitate its identity and thinking about a urban strategy to invitate the residents to start reusing again this immense object. This strategy consist in the implantation of several small basic activities that can be a benefit for the community first and then be able to change the image of this building. Considering the less money budget I developped a concempt to introduce few elements that allow the progress of the different activities, in this case with some sliding walls that create different spaces. These elements contribute also to give a dynamic perspective of the building without spend too much money.

XL001 | UNDERAILWAY, ICHIKAWA Ichikawa turns out to be a city with a versatile character, when seen in a large scale, and at the same time stabilizes as it recedes to its center. The area has a multitude of different atmospheres and environments, creating an appreciative diversity in the spaces. However, there is a tendency to concentrate functions in certain places rather than «shuffle all», creating a likely better interactivity between people. Interactivity that, in fact, sometimes is lacking, as is explained in the diagnosis. This is because the urban structure appears to be the result of constant changes that has partially destroyed the core identity. It tends to suffer from its important transit location between the two large cities of Tokyo and Chiba. The transit created by the railway, westeast axis, the highway, the north-south axis, divide several times primarily into the residential town that houses most needs: unity and a solid position. And it is for this reason that it is food for thought: the reuse of these urban spaces crossing the city very «brutally». We must exploit them, not suffer from them! Once must find a way to use them. Evidently, Ichikawa remains an isolated case concerning its specific position, its personal history, its personal customs, etc. However it is able to answers the initial premise of the analysis in the decision to select this city as a «typical case» for a possible more general study of Japanese residential cities. It in fact presents a multitude of characteristic elements that have been decrypted during this analysis, an, in

the future, may be used for other similar cases of study, on changing the context. In conclusion, as with most Japanese cities, Ichikawa turns out to be full of surprises and possibilities, only what is needed is to find a way to benefit from these qualities that are often forgotten.

WATER MARKET

URBAN GARDEN

The fish market has always been considered as an important element in the Japanese culture. In this case it is also connected to the tradition of the city of Ichikawa. This activity mainly present several technical spaces inside tha can provide a good running of the activity that is mainly composed by external street market tables as the typical market.

It offers a varied market choice as very present the market of antiques and used items. It can work with the sale of products from the activity of workshops and having a close collaboration with neighboring elementary schools and its activities. The activity that is mainly composed by external street market tables as the typical market.

The end of the market transition between «water and land» works in close collaboration with the next task: that of the Urban Garden. This market features local products created in activity blocks to private and/or by local residents. The activity that is mainly composed by external street market tables as the typical market.

An activity dedicated to teamwork and to the creation of a community through gardening and the production of some local products which can then later be sold. These spaces contain special lamps and containers capable of creating an optimal indoor plantation.

WORKSHOP

Created by Jens Tärning from the Noun Project

This is a multifunctional space dedicated primarily to construction activities and Handcrafting. It can be rented by individuals, private, as a real store or just remain free for the community use. This active the space area in the front area, with moderate frequency, by proposing different exposures and events.

SPECTACLE

LONG BENCH

One of the characteristic elements of this composition is that it can be used as a sort of «urban furniture». In this case the shape invites and allows a theater and spectacles with the area connected to the surrounding garden created. The function of the building in the area can be redisegned to complete this activity.

Along the path it is possible to find several places for sitting and relaxing. This it will be created just with the shape’s deformation that allow to make a transition between the activity space to a simple bench.

Created by Jens Tärning from the Noun Project

The continuation of the previous bench in turn increasing the slope of the element by creating a comfortable space for everybody. It also provide a perspective to the next space.

The beginning part of the proposed path, start as an element at the ground level that gets up on punctual times to form a different set of benches and seats. It proposes the serpentine footprint-shaped that continues under the bridge directly from the station exit.

WORKSHOP

PAINTING

Connected to the area dedicated to the Workshop, this activity is composed by the residents. Able to collaborate with schools, it provides a space dedicated to the handcrafting and the creation of objects that will be sold at the market. This space can be a place for classes and activity.

In this final part of the transition path it has come to the cultural and artistic area, which will continue later in the park. This space is dedicated to painting, offering more bright spaces and rooms devoted to classes and painting workshops. It also activates the space in front of the exposure of the work performed, and other interesting events that increase the vitality of the neighborhood.

MUSEUM

This path is manly dedicated to the favorise the pedestrian circulation. Some road will still cross this path so then it will proposed an overpass in this few occasion to guarantee a safe circulation for the pedestrian.

At the end of the path there is a large park composed by trees and benches and lawns where two blocks are positioned. They play the role of museums and the adjacent flexible spaces can be used for the organization of various events, mainly related to major Japanese festivals such as «Matsuri, Hanabi, etc». Due to the possible relationship to the Shinto Shrine nearby and the presence of the Japanese cherry trees, also called «Sakura».

In the continuous composition of the transition elements, between the mainly selected activities, it is introduced in this space a stylish dining area such as «fast-food» in the Japanese classic way.

SERVICE Along this path it is still important to offer some kind of public services as WC, small kiosk and shops, etc.

SHOP A classic small shop that provides support to the surrounding activities and that it should have a wide range of generic objects for residents and tourists too, because this path can provide such a new type of sustainable tourism.

HAND-CRAFTING

RELAX AREA

In the transition between the station and the park it is possible to find. after the area dedicated to the show, another area that makes a vegetation area, by a small park and a building that in its deformation becomes a relaxation area where it is possible to linger to read and rest.

SPECIFIC CLASSROOM

In connection with the school center near this space, it is dedicated to a different type activities and showing itself as a multifunctional space that can accommodate lectures and additional courses related to the school and as well as for adults.

Intensity. «low intesity become high intesity» (Darko Radovic. 2013). This sentence, drawn by the analysis in some districts of Tokyo, very clearly explains the urbanistic effect typical of the Japanese cities. Ichikawa also follows this typology. In fact, it is possible to notice two principal factors that compose the urban layer of the same city. Firstly, the buildings in the area close to the station have the tendency to develop in height and possess consistent dimensions in comparison to the following structures. It is possible to notice a progressive diminution of the urban form passing so that the next buildings to the station are in the residential zone. Subsequently, taking back the theory of Darko Radovic, the low urban intensity, in how much buildings and activity, hand a residential high-intensity in which the infrastructures are found in a compact city nucleus. In this case near the railroad the constructions possess a high density, positioning itself close to the others, forming the classical narrow roads «roji» mainly used by the pedestrians and by bicyclists; in how much not accessible to the automobiles. This intensity of residences proceeds to decrease extending itself on the territory of the city in this case, easily creating in turn a recognizable urban layer and structured in three principal situations, in which it is possible to find: the center city (composed by buildings of great dimension and the principal station) the buffer area and (composed by the secondary services) residential (composed by residences and parks).

A city is a body in continuous change. After it is built, it is then lived in, what is of interest is that as the population lives, the city (as well as the populations’s perception) adapts. In Ichikawa along the route of the train, below its passage, some perceptions have already been effected. The important part is that these types of solutions come spontaneously, and do not have need for planners or devoted architects for the urbanism to be realised. It is not only the important factor of «the how, the when or the why» but simply the result of this reflection and continuous use of some spaces that spontaneously produce similar objects. It is possible to notice from the photo illustrated below that the railroad of Ichikawa, a great demand and need of nature spaces as it presents above all, a public service for the resident children of the city. This as a result of the actual situation that is scarce of public spaces, and above all, of green spaces the young people can enjoy in the open amongst nature. A second aspect, is visual. The railroad crosses in an imposing way through the city, maintaining a certain proximity with the residences and the adjacent buildings. For this reason the residences, leaning out of windows onto the crossover, would comparitavely prefer a sight more natural and more comforting with the actual sight of the parked automobiles or storage lots under the railroad. This factor is tightly linked to the culture and the habit possessed by the before mentioned «engawa».

Public spaces are mainly located around the central station or the main axis previously seen (pag. 69). These, however, in most cases, appear as areas of shopping: buying and selling various kinds of goods, from food to clothes, etc.Some spaces with different functions are scattered here and there in the urban grid, without owning a real location urbanistically defined as «strategic». The only elements of this that may fall into this category are the public schools present north and south of the central city. They are well equipped with fields for sport.

Public spaces are mainly located around the central station or the main axis

It is interesting to note, however, as the roads, in residential areas where the intensity is high, they can become a private space for people who live directly connected to it. As explained in previous chapters, the Japanese culture tends to «appropriate» public space close to their homes. Thus there is a strong link between the private and public ground, sometimes in the form of a drastic change in ownership, and sometimes with a natural and smooth transition. This transition is often done through the use of various «recess» or entrance halls, introducing the private space. It is interesting to note how this situation makes the space more dynamic, thanks to

L001 | COLLECTIF APARTMENTS An industrial quarter in the countryside of Losanne, in Switzerland, introduced a project of rehabilitation of this area to create a living zone with activities, shops and apartments. This was the Bachelor graduate project, where, each students had an area to build at least two buildings. To make this project the key word was â&#x20AC;&#x153;collaborationâ&#x20AC;?. Was in fact an important point, discuss with the other students to plan an interesting and functional composition of buildings. I decided to propose two bars, considering my position in the middle of the designed area for the project, keeping a free space in the middle for a little park. During this project I study several times the work of Hans Koolhoff and Max Dudler, to find an interesting regular facade and working with the material, in my case with the composition of concrete and bricks. So this project has born as an urban project and finish with the detail plans with a deep study of the facade. An other important point of this building is the connection between the public function and the private apartments, and the goal to mixed them and create such an harmony between these two domains.

Entrambe le costruzioni si sviluppano a partire da un pian terreno dedicato alle affettazioni pubbliche, che nel caso dell'immobile a Nord prende due piani con una terrazza. Questa prima parte è costruita su un'altezza importante quale 4.50 m per marcare il servizio pubblico

Data l'orientazione delle costruzioni ho optato per un due orientamenti differenti per quanto riguarda gli appartamenti. Nella barra a nord gli appartamenti si aprono nello spazio di soggiorno completamente a sud con una visuale sulla corte. Per quanto riguarda la barra a sud gli appartamenti sono traversanti.

La particolarità del mio lots è quella di creare una corte interna per l'insieme di immobili. Questa corte si presenta sotto una forma minerale nella quale la parce vegetale è integrata in vari baque che permettono alle persone di usarle come panchine. Ho voluto creare più terrazze e spazi verdi per animare la parcella.

M001 | PUBLIC BATHS The culture of the hammam, mainly resides in the liberation of his/her own spirit in an introverted place and of healthy purification. Thinking about these cornerstone elements, and to the basic typology of planning of the same, I propose, here following, a project dug in the ground under the actual baths of the Motta, in Fribourg. It develops him in a sequence of place, one in line to the other, up to arrive to the river and the splendid cliff that it accompanies him. The whole â&#x20AC;&#x153;pathâ&#x20AC;? is composed from games of lights coming from different sources. Some times are set windows as horizontal strips that profit some difference of impending level. Others pick up the zenith light instead through of the windows set in the ceiling. Another point treated by the project is the retraining of the basin

M002 | ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The first of my project in Japan was about a “renovation” of existing elementary school in my country. So I choosed my elementary school in Pregassona, which have a solid structure who designed the main building very clearly. In consequence of my experience in japan I wanted to do a more free and open space that will contrast with the rigid existing structure. So I decided to incorporate this structure inside a glass barrier that will surround all the perimeter of the school. In this new space created many “transparent” activities will be held, such as: reading, painting, sleeping, and other,... The main concept was clearly the contrast between the solid existing and the transparent parasite that will attach to the building creating other spaces.

S001 | PUBLIC FACILITIES The second project during my japan exchange was also related to the existing school, but this time was a complementary building that will be placed near the school. An interesting ideology during my studies was the one to relate the young people to the old people. This can happen when the two activities will be held in the same building. That was the main goal of this project, to find a way to connect these two worlds. So I decide to thing strategically and I planned to do different kind of spaces: private, semi private and public. This to implement the flexibility of the building, conceding the privacy when needed and the open space when must be the connection between old and young people. With a circulation core in the middle that work as a transition between these two worlds I projected a building that be able to face to every kind of situation, even with is rigid structure though.

NEW HOUSE / ACTIVITIES

Nell’attuale zona che ho scelto per la mia costruzione, è presente un vecchio edificio che ha sempre servito da «casa» per i bambini del quartiere ospitando svariate attività: da giornate di lettura di libri, alle attività con il gruppo dei genitori. Per questo motivo ho deciso di dar l’immagine di una casa al mio edificio. Una nuova casa che ospiterà tre diverse attività che saranno legate tra loro da un corpo centrale di servizi e circolazione. Queste attività andranno a complementare le scuole elementari esistenti giusto accanto, creando così una forte relazione tra gli utilizzatori di entrambe le strutture.
