ZOOnnel

The theme of the design course includes the redevelopment and reuse of the former Olympic site of Cesana Torinese.

The project is divided into two distinct activities: the accommodation sector (hotels) and the natural bio-park (Zoonnel).

The Zoonnel is crossed, as well as outlined, by the bobsleigh track, now converted into a path covered by a transparent cover that allows you to walk undisturbed among the animals fences.

The Hotel is spread diffusely acting as a “closure” of the track curves, so as to form the rings, that delimit the boundaries of the fences.

The services related to the hotel and the park are located primarily within the existing buildings, placed at the entrance of the project area. The new buildings include the hotel’s rooms and one of the three restaurants in the area. A cable car facility was added to transport visitors at the beginning of the trail inside the park.

CONCEPT The theme developed in this design unit includes the redevelopment of Mirafiori, a marginal district in Turin, through the redesign of a new maURBAN POROSITY sterplan and the addition of new buildings and activities within it.

Public access to services from via Negarville All thisleisure, by designing new “active buildings” (shops, relax) the manner of known architects, in this case Steven Holl.

NEW FRONT

The new masterplan proposal aims to counter the current urban ghettoization developed in the district of Mirafiori, by creating a new porous urban space, inviting and open to the public from every side.

A different urban public space is designed around, over and through multifaceted spatial layers, that makes the district as an “open city within a city”. The project promotes interactive relations and encourages encounters in the public spaces that vary from commercial, residential, and educational to recreational. The entire complex is an urban space articulated in different levels in which buildings on the ground, and over the ground are fused together.

EXPERIENCING BAMBOO Bamboo, what do you want to be?

TTT International Workshop “Whater and Shadow” (K. Kuma, K. Nakamura - Tokyo University; M. Gutai, E. Kao - Feng Chia University; L. Alessio - Politecnico di Torino)

The workshop involves the design and the construction of a bamboo pavilion located in Taichung (Taiwan), between the Feng Chia University and the Night Market.

The pavilion wants to express the feelings and sensations of bamboo.

Throught the path that was created the bamboo realize it’s own.

It is a dynamic interaction between walls, lights and shadows.

People are driven to see and feel these patterns at different distances in different environmental conditions.

Inside the pavilion there’s not a specific activitie to do, the aim is just to discover the different modes of implementation of this material and the resulting perceptions that such uses may give.

HELSINKI GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM International Workshop “Art&Architecture” (R. Apostolo - Politecnico di Torino)

The theme developed in the international workshop, restated the competition notice published in the year 2014-2015 for the design of the new Guggenheim in the city of Helsinki.

The workshop aims to develop the theme of the competition using a framework as a starting point to translate finally into our architecture.

The work chosen is part of the permanent collection of Peggy Guggenheim.

The framework of Klee “Two Ways” (img. 1.) allowing immediate reading thanks to the information provided directly on the canvas: each arrow suggests a path traced by a line that enters and exits the other side of the canvas.

The intertwining of the two paths that delimits the volumes, identified by different colors from lightest to darkest, further emphasize the overlap of the tracks.

The framework has been translated from the architectural point of view keeping as a baseline the idea of ​​“two ways” physically represented by two independent ramps but colelgate each other at one point. Each ramp, geometrically constrained by the lines of the work, it is rolled on itself rising up to a certain level, before falling back to the original level but in a different place from the point of departure.

The concept applied to the project ideally represents a spiritual journey through a long walkway, the end of which leads to the discovery of art as a higher level, at the same time along a path within the work of art.

Interiors are developed in simple volumes articulated long innermost side of the ramps. The latter being positioned on the slope of the paths, the difference has arisen has been addressed by raising the environment on steps (1. Bar / Cafe ‘) in the particular case of bars and offices.

Ramps are designed to accommodate the various functions required and to make immediately visible this diversification dalgli host, the latter have different colors: red ramp is dedicated to host the premises and spaces for public use and technical, while that white is devoted largely to the exhibition galleries. The space of the conjunction of the two paths is the main lobby of the building. The ramps have a minimum slope that varies from “to 5%, in order to make imperceptible the inclination and make the fluid passageway. Their width also allows to flow the space as a large open space.

The exhibition gallery (2 Gallery / Exhibition gallery) is divided by long walls punctuated by partitions, which reduce the contribution of light to preserve the works of melgar steep exposed.

It ‘also a partially enclosed room designed for audio-video projections.

On the ground floor there is direct access to the auditorium / conference hall, partially underground.

HELSINKI CENTRAL LIBRARY Atelier Architectural&Structural Design (R. Apostolo, W. Ceretto)

The theme developed in the international workshop, restated the competition notice published in the year 2014-2015 for the design of the Central Library in the city of Helsinki.

The project is divided in three independent blocks both structurally and functionally; the highlight is the hall, conceived as a center of connection between the library and the auditorium, topped by a cover that makes it immediately recognizable from the rest of the building.

In this solution, there is a contrast of regular volumes and a large volume organic central seen from above, observed from the front while the smooth curves of the walls recall the forms taken from the aurora borealis .

In the first project phase the idea was to create the “petals� suspended above the hall, supported by pillars tree, to form sheds. The three separate volumes were united by a common regular shape. The panels that hide the profiles of the building directing the eye to the center of architecture.

After an initial processing stylized, in the second phase of the project flower petals stylized overlooking the lobby taking the most curvaceous shapes, converging more and more towards the center of the building.

To proceed to a third stage of graphic restitution, given the complexity of the geometry of the cover, the model (the second row of images) was covered with plaster and scanned in a special laboratory.
