"Concorso di idee per le Architetture di Servizio dell'Expo 2015" - 3rd Prize

2012-04-09T17:38:00.001+01:00

Milan, Italy

Inspired by the theme of Expo 2015 - "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life" - the idea of recreating a greenhouse for the Service Areas seemed, to us, natural and spontaneous.
This construction method reminds us the Crystal Palace, designed and built for the 1851 Universal Exhibition in London. It was Joseph Paxton, famous manufacturer of greenhouses and gardens, to provide the variant of the basic design that allowed a faster execution, making use of prefabricated and serial components.

The first Expo was a celebration of modern industrial techniques. Similarly, Expo 2015 and its buildings are a "celebration" of new technologies, but in terms of social, aesthetic, technical, environmental and energy sustainability.

The elongated pitched roof shape of the building, typical of greenhouses, reminds us both the industrial tradition of Milan, with its warehouses, both the agricultural one, with its “Cascine”.
The use of this section, is also supported by two factors: the reduction of the envelope and higher structural efficiency. A lower perimeter means a reduction of the volume of air to heat and cool and the quantity of material used. The triangular scheme provides a better static behavior, an evener distribution of loads and consequently the use of thinner profiles.

The intervention is based on the application of passive technologies, to achieve a complete identification between energetic device and structure. Thermo-hygrometric confort is achieved through natural ventilation, natural lighting and selective shading. The building envelope acts as a natural skin that protects, controls evaporation and regulates temperature. It is the key element, on which relies the visual impact and which must inform and attract visitors to the Site. We have chosen a multiwall polycarbonate sheet cladding for its thermal insulation properties, light permeability, and beauty. The skin is constituted by a double layer of multiwall polycarbonate sheets cladding, with interposed air chamber. In this cavity there is natural air circulation, due to the convective motion produced by the presence of openings in the top and the base of the casing. This helps to remove accumulated heat by solar radiation in the outer layer, also improving the wall’s thermal insulation properties during the winter period, and during night hours, maintaining the thermal inertia of the building.

"Mercato Coperto a Forte dei Marmi"

2012-04-04T12:23:00.001+01:00

Forte dei Marmi, Italy

The project aims the creation of a reference point to the neighborhood.
The color and texture of the building recalls the grand ducal fortress, a symbol of the city and it harmonizes it delicately with the built environment.

The market organizes itself around two squares, a main for fruit and vegetable sales, and another for fish and meat sales, around which all the stalls are organized. Two axis define circulations and entrances, connecting all the spaces: the Apuana and the Versilia Galleries.

Architects meet in Selinunte 2012

2012-04-02T11:57:00.000+01:00

Castelvetrano/ Selinunte, Italy
March 29th to April 1st 2012

For the second edition f the international meeting "Architects meet in Selinunte", the Associazione Italiana di Architettura e Critica, presS/Tfactory in partnership with the City of Castelvetrano/ Selinunte and the Archaeological Park of Selinunte, have decided to put the spotlight on the work of Italian architects working on the international market, of those returned to Italy after having studied and worked abroad and, finally, on the growing number who choose to transfer their offices in other countries. Hence the title: Architects meet in Selinunte: Partire_Tornare_Restare.

TERNULLOMELO featured both the main exhibition, Partire_Tornare_Restare, and the 30<40 exhibition.

Tower House

2011-12-02T17:55:00.001Z

Molfetta (BA), Italy

The building, a narrow northeastern-oriented enclosed lot in the old town of Molfetta, is a rare surviving example of medieval popular housing units.
This type of housing, named "tower house" was destined to various families, who used to live on separate floors, connected by a common stairwell, with a barn and a water tank in the basement.
In fact engineer Giangaspero, author of the recovery plan drafted by the City in 1934, wrote: "In functional terms it were promiscuous, where the steep flights of narrow wooden stairs were not reached by means of landings, but through the rooms inhabited by the other housemates" .
Its morphology is characterized by a predominantly vertical cell with a strongly sloping roof, with more than two levels above ground floor and a basement.
The main technical and structural characteristics of the block are easily identifiable: dry stone walls, masonry rubble vertical structure, arched masonry slabs on the street and basement floors and wooden slabs on the upper floors, fireplace on the rear of each floor, gabled roof with balcony towards the main road.

The set of planned interventions is aimed at the protection and enhancement of the building,
The project preserves the residential use, maintaining the logic of the old distribution system and the main characteristics of the original building. Instead of housing different families, each floor will be dedicated to a single functional use:the ground floor for living (living room/study), the first floor for eating (kitchen/dining room) and the second floor for sleeping (bedroom). The basement will house a small interior pool and the attic a small reading room.

Open Japan Global 72hr Worksprint - Lisbon

2011-09-05T18:25:00.000+01:00

Palácio Quintela, Lisbon
June 10th-12th 2011

"An earthquake of magnitude 9.0 shook Japan on March 11. It is one of the strongest earthquakes ever measured worldwide. The earthquake was followed by up to 10 meter high tsunami waves that caused extensive damage. More 25.000 people died, or are still missing, over 160.000 people are looking for shelter, over 45.000 houses, community buildings and infrastructure have to be reconstructed after this multiple disasters compounded by an ongoing nuclear crisis.
Inspired by the wish to help people in Japan we at OpenSimSim decided to start an initiative called “OpenJapan”. We at OpenSimSim believe that monetary assistance helps but has not to be the only solution. By launching the initiative “OpenJapan” we would like to offer the opportunity to give what can be also very valuable: time, knowledge and experience.
The initial approaches was to discuss the issue of possible solutions we received a great feedback from many people from all over the world wanting to help or proposing ideas for projects.
Based on this we are starting our first initiative:
We are asking people to donate three days of their time in a worldwide collaborative event."

"La Rocca" - 1st prize

2011-05-31T13:59:00.001+01:00

International ideas competition for the restoration and reuse of the Rocca historic building and the adjoining park
Nogarole Rocca (VR), Italy

The design intent is to restore the Fortess’s monumental and representative character, a stage for crossed activities, events, connections, services, meetings, allowing a continuous flow, day and night, and inter-connected to different users (tourists, young and senior citizens...).

The project has three main goals: the rehabilitation of the inner courtyard, transformed into a piazza, the poly-functionalization of the existing buildings and the requalification of Rocca’s Park.

Piazza Scaligera
"The squares (..) are the formal space of the community, the place where history, cultural movements, artistic styles, material culture, collective imagination, symbolic projections, established rituals, traditions and behavioral habits intersection occurs."
(C. Dardi, Place d'Italie, in "Agora", 1, Rome 1987)

The redevelopment of the inner courtyard, conceived as a mend to Nogarole’s social and connective tissue, foresees a stabilized earth and stone paving and the addition of chairs and tables, in order to restore its original aggregative potential. The Piazza Scaligera, whose name derives from one of the most important noble families residing in the fortress, is crossed by a pedestrian-cycle path attaching the town’s old road to the Torre Storta o di Roncaraldo.

Rocca’s buildings
The program for the Rocca’s reuse derives of the historical interpretation of the functional and formal invariants of the buildings. The West and East wings (manor and workers house) keep their residential character, hosting an accommodation structure, while for the remaining wings of the Rock, historically subject to major functional upheavals, a flexible program has been prepared, designed to improve and increase services to citizens.
The inclusion of various public services, such as the information desk and welcoming center, ATM,postbox, bicycle parking and renting, promotes and enhances the Piazza Scaligera’s livability, allowing a collective participation of the recovery and preservation of this great historical and architectural heritage.

Parco della Rocca
The proposal is based on the interpretation of the site’s historical evolution, highlighting traces and relationships.
Water, an essential element for landscape design, structures the project for the Urban Park.
On the one hand, we investigate through the obvious signs of existing vegetation to bring to light the main water structure, which marked the fortress from 1600 onwards: the lake.
On the other hand, the channel, natural boundary of the intervention, is revitalized through simple enhancement of the corresponding vegetable plants, which constitute the identity of the place.
This way the palimpsest of the project is defined.
