BAC 3 S.A Design Studio- Denser & Diffuse

Professor - Fréderic Bonnet

TERRACE ON THE LAKESHORE

The project’s aim is to reinterpretate the bor-der between the two cities of Locarno and the next village of Muralto defined by the dry river Ramogna. The limit becomes a th-reshold with the new woodden terrace that tries to link in a new way the railway station and the Piazza Grande creating a path that modifies the relation with sanctuary of Ma-donna del Sasso and the lake.The structure is realized by modular wood-den elements carried by two 100 meters long archs held together by tresses and rods.

BAC 3 S.P.Design Studio- New case study houses

Professor - Christian Sumi

TWO INTERLOCKING PATHS

The project wants to understand the rela-tions created by two different functions mi-xed together in a single building.A bookstore and a kindergarden are interlo-cked in order to exploit the courtyard typo-logy which defines the spaces of each fun-ction.The typology is furthermore varied confor-ming to the construction technique. It starts with a container composition and than vari-es to a concrete articulation of volumes and spaces. The final step of the project consists then in understanding the perception of the place for both functions in both materials through videos and perspectives obtained with the software Rhinoceros.

MAS 1 S.A.Design Studio- Ristorante al Porto Antico di Genova

Professor - Quintus Miller

TERRACE RESTAURANT

The restaurant in the Porto Antico of Genova occupies a void in the urban fabric of the city and connects two little squares positioned on the front and on the back of the building at different heights.The big diining room developes along a path that links the two squares through a terrace composition.After entering in the building the path of the customers moves through two theatral sce-nes that define three spaces: the bar/en-trance, the ding room and the fumoir, while the service spaces are under the slope of the main space.In this scenario the customers become spectators and actor of the main act of ea-ting at the restaurant that has to feel comfor-table and familiar, but at the same time unex-pected.

MAS 1 S.P.Design Studio- Low rise, High density 4

Professor - Jonathan Sergison

MASTERPLAN FOR BUCHAREST

The masterplan designed has to solve a void in the middle of the city of Bucharest.It started with the analysis of the in between spaces that characterize diffusely the urban fabric: these semi-private spaces are very similar to courtyards for the feeling but are not so well defined by a limit. The urban strategy to design the plot has started with the definitions of the size of the blocks and the creation of two pedestrian axis that pass through the site and develope the links with the new area, the existing mo-numents in it and the external areas.The new neighborhood is so defined by dif-fuse public space that activates public areas at the groud floor of some blocks and more private areas in the coutyards of the blocks.

MAS 2 S.A.Design Studio- Reuse of the ruins of the Santa Chiara convent in Cagliari

Professor - Martin Boesch

CAGLIARI: NEW LINK BETWEEN THE CASTLE AND THE SEA

ATELIER BOESCH RIUSO A CAGLIARI: TRA MARE E CASTELLOSEMESTRE INVERNALE 2013 - 14 STUDENTE: FERRANDINO RAFFAELE50 m0 m 25 m

The project wants to recreate the link betwe-en the sea and the walls of the old castle of Cagliari. A new branch of the Univerisy of architecture of Cagliari organises a semi-pu-blic path that connects the old headquarters situated above the walls to the XIX century Piazza Yenne through a path that passes beside the Elephant’s tower.The strategic point of junction is occupied by the XIII century convent of Santa Chiara, and its ruins offer an interesting opportunity to develope a reuse project.The project is conceived as a concrete base that connects the level of the walls to the one of the sea and arranges a sequence of functions for the university composed by solids and voids.The main building of the branch of the uni-versity is the new library which finds place in the cloister of the old convent: the storage rooms and the small reading rooms are ar-ranged in the old refectory and rooms of the nuns, and the main reading room is placed in the big void of the cloister, a space for the books the silence and the light.

DIPLOME PROJECTDesign Studio- Sport Center in Chiasso

Professor - Mario Botta

SPORT CENTER BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE MOUNTAIN

The masterplan for the sport center in Chiasso aims to reconnect the urban fabric of the southern part of the town: on the east the housing deveopement of the Soldini district, and on the west the industrial fabric of the Faloppia plan. The intention is to introduce a north-south direction that shifts the longitudinal developement of the town beyond the railways and reestablish the relations between Chiasso and the Mount Penz.The structure of the sport center is defined by a sequence of walls arranged at the edge of the mountain that define on one side the paths toward a linear park connected to the mountain, and on the other side the edge of the stadium.The Sport Center is composed by stripes of functions: the three pavillions (swiming pool, the existing basket field and hockey field), the main piazza and the stadium that evoques the reestablished relation with the Penz through a funicular roofing that connects the base of the mount to a new public building situated on the street.
