My idea of sustainability is a kind of approach: necessary, complex and integrated, with which satisfy environmental, social, functional and aesthetic needs in one Architecture.

URBAN LIVING ROOMS investigates the possibility of a territorial size scale project with the intention to enhance, at their most, the opportunities offered by a similar area, in creating a high-quality, aboundantly equipped settlement, available to a large range of potential users and beneficiaries. The various “urban living rooms” be constructed chronologically (one after The area extension, its nearness to the citycould centre make this place an exceptional site, from where to start a recoil in planning the expansion of thethe other) or completed zone by zone either city. This way the city becomes enriched in new highly-standardized residential areas, together with spaces, facilities and resources headed real in the cultural and recreational activities both of the whole urban community, and of a large amount of tourists and types, provision of services …) or according according to demand in the estate market (residential mix,users accommodation of Lettish sectors of excellence. to the requirements of the Riga Municipality as they unfold over time. URBAN LIVING ROOMS is principally meant to point out a strategic approach to the indicated subject, able to read the specific environmental conditions and economic dynamics, but at the same time the project wishes to prime a wide range of cultural, social and economic processes. A similar approach aims to retrace, with a wide spectrum, the whole area in question and the nearest zones (which stands for the required flexibility of a long-term project), by means of environmental sustainability criteria, architectural sensitivity and multi-functional uses of the site, able to favour social exchanges and a tuneful relationship with nature. Such a strongly characterized intervention of town planning, together with sustainable architecture, will enable the involved operators (inhabitants, the public administration, property developers and architects) to cooperate in a wide-ranging operation of urban marketing, stimulating interest at both a national and international level.

In URBAN LIVING ROOMS the relationship between architecture and landscape is placed at the very centre of the project. As a matter of fact, we reckon that the problem to solve is not exclusively a problem of town planning over an extensive area, but of landscape designing of the territory where natural and artificial elements will merge together, as commensurable matters, to originate a recognizable sign. That new landscape generates a strong identity from the intervention and the place in question, so as to become the very landmark of the territory.

URBAN REGENERATION AND CULTURAL CENTRE IN LANGHIRANO (PR-IT) -I PRIZE
The new cultural centre is the starting point of the general restoring and reconnection of public spaces in the urban area. The complexity of the open spaces create an interesting net-system that involves also a new waterfront toward the small river of the city. The cultural centre is an aggregation pole for the citizens and the local entrepreneurs

The new Rodano City Hall is a modern interpretation of a courtbuilding: it is integrated in a urban cotext rich of paths, open spaces and particular sightseens. The building is trying to assimilate this kind of spacial complexity and to become the „junction point“ of these spaces. The typical brick arcade is inteded to evocate the idea of monumentality and the bond with the local materials.

FRONTE SU VIA ROMA SC:1.200
L’abitato di Rodano presenta nella frazione di Lucino un addensamento dei volumi costruiti tra via Marconi, via Cavour e via Roma, una serie di edifici bassi a corte, tipologia di origine rurale, la cui concatenazione assume tuttavia qui un carattere quasi urbano. Si tratta di edifici a corte aperta, con passaggi, attraversamenti, portici, in cui al senso di introversione si associa dunque un’apertura verso gli spazi contigui. La giustapposizione di tali edifici produce così, in un ambito relativamente ristretto, una grande varietà e ricchezza di percorsi, spazi a piazza, visuali, scorci prospettici. Il progetto per il nuovo Municipio si colloca a margine di tale sistema e cerca di assorbirne e interpretarne il carattere. Proprio la natura di “punto di confluenza” di scorci prospettici e di suggestioni materiali e formali articolate costituisce il sostrato su cui si forma il progetto per il nuovo edificio del Comune.
IL SISTEMA DELLE CORTI
CORTE DI CASA GOLA
VIA MARCONI
Esso nasce dalla ricerca di un punto di equilibrio tra opposti (leggerezza/massività, apertura/chiusura, dinamismo/staticità) capace di un sereno ed efficace inserimento nel contesto, in grado di coniugare la necessità di una continuità del tessuto edilizio con quella di creare un punto di gravità nel nuovo spazio pubblico. L’edifico vuole essere assorbito dal contesto, senza sottomettersi ad esso, ed anzi riscattandolo. Il progetto rifiuta dunque la stereometria del monumento a favore di una volumetria più articolata, che quasi accoglie in sé le tensioni di impianto del abitato storico attraverso scelte materiali contemporanee e un linguaggio asciutto e generoso insieme, che non vuole “parlare” ma farsi sfondo attivo di un luogo vitale. Non dunque monumento, ma ambito di vita cittadina; e tuttavia nemmeno troppo domestico, ad assicurarne una capacità di farsi punto di riferimento.

SAPPADA WINTER SPORT TURISTIC CENTRE (BL - IT) - II PRIZE
The Project develops the idea of a masterplan that links together the landscape masterplan and an architectural one. The redesign of a huge turistic area is inteded to create an unitary image to this unique place, with a strategic approach that involves environmental sustainability, architectonic sensivity and social-economicturistic developement in the full respect of nature.

URBAN DECENTRALISATION AND ARCHITECTURE FOR CHILDHOOD
indoor devices Indoor devices are intended to satisfy the requirement of the didactic spaces: flexibility, convertibility and interactability. The aim of these devices is to optimize indoor spaces. These spaces are designed to support active learning.

The plug-in is the necessary element to adapt and complete the system: it completes the functions that the structural cell and the indoor devices itself cannot satisfy. It increases the possibilities of variation and integration of the system in different context. Thus, the plug-in is necessary and complementary to the contextualization od the system.
The structure is composed by cross-laminated timber X-LAM panels (162 mm) joined with a screw connector system in order to guarantee the solidity in the construction step and also in the utilization step.

PARK OF PARKS
MASTERPLAN IN DOSSON (TV - IT) PARK OF SCHOOLS
The Park of parks is an academic project :it is a school centre diffused in a green area that wants to involve all the characteristics of the local landscape, from the urban gardens to the vegetable gardens, till the lacustrine gardens. Inside this gardens the schools are designed to create an â&#x20AC;&#x17E;open airâ&#x20AC;&#x153; school system that is is tucked away among the nature and the local landscape.
