The center is shaped following the zen symbol which is a main component of martial arts practice. The circular shape of the building allows people to freely circulate in its structure having a permanent view of the Japanese garden at its center.

The main art gallery space is visible from both the walkway and biking trail which allows the public to enjoy art even at a fast speed. The building also connects the upper level which is not currently too populated with a public cafeteria.

05 FERENC PUSKAS, THE PEOPLE’S STADIUM

REPURPOSING ABANDONED SPORT VENUES The abandoned stadiums and structures after an the Olympic Games and World Cup event are a problem that many hosting cities and countries have to face. After the flourish months before and during the event, the city has to think how to keep all the newly built structures alive and with a valid purpose pertinent to the community.

Many times, unfortunately, the new structures accommodate events and sports that are not popular in the city and therefore they end up being abandoned and fall into decay.

We often do not take this problem in consideration. We watch the event, enjoy it, and almost forget about what happens afterwards.

There are also problems during the construction of these new buildings, even though they bring new jobs and better infrastructures, many citizens of the hosting countries often complain about the ways money is spent. This is usually the case if the country in consideration has a fairly poor population (for example, the last World Cup in Brazil, 2014).

We then need to think a better way on how to design structures that could serve the community before, during and after the event.

Perhaps the purpose of the new structure could be totally changed after the event to better suit the people living in the context area.

06 CANDELO La candela è un oggetto di culto universale nel mondo religioso e CANDELO, nel suo ruolo di candeliere cerca di metterla in risalto, valorizzando allo stesso tempo il concetto del riuso del legno delle Briccole di Venezia.

CANDELO può essere utilizzato in diversi luoghi religiosi da gruppi di persone più o meno numerosi: lo possiamo trovare in diversi contesti popolati da una vasta platea di credenti o più intimamente usato da una singola persona.
