A Rural Narrative (47214 competitor code)
Use the central “Aia” courtyard and old structures to organize pathways and connect old and new.
Introduce vineyards and outdoor leisure (pool, stargazing terrace, outdoor cinema, biking) to reactivate the rural context.
Reuse existing materials and align new ones (reddish wood, brick, white plaster) for a coherent and sustainable architectural language.

The design proposal wants to accommodate musical classes for string musicians, and also a reading space for the students from the other schools. The basement and the attic of the house should be proposed for temporary art exhibitions, and the ground floor would accommodate a guest house along with an atelier for a luthier, which fits the previous functions of this house. In the second courtyard will be a proposed terrace with tables and a veranda. All these functional transformations are orchastrated around the day life and night life of the city and house itself.

Encouraging pedestrians to explore the old city on foot will influence the way people perceive the houses, as explored in the book “The Concise Townscape” by Gordon Cullen. Here the idea of “enclosure” becomes the driving philosophy behind this project. People get encouraged to move away from their cars, as the cars limit the way people perceive their surroundings. While driving, the city is perceived at a fast pace and the people tend to retain less information compared to a slower pace given by walking, as people let their curiosity flourish. Where a new area of exploration is unrevealed the space of the courtyards is a labyrinth of ideas and cultural connections.
Even though it might seem odd at first glance to combine spaces that have specific requirements (reading spaces) with spaces that have opposite requirements (musical classes) in terms of atmosphere, the spaces are designed to pique the curiosity of people in a specific group at different intervals as they work in tandem The reading space is supposed to operate during the day when even the students from the musical classes might be at school. Then there is the intersection interval that strikes curiosity the most, as it allows for the members of one group to become an audience for the other.

Creating bonds and a healthy living space requires including dwellers in social activities. The proposal achieves this by introducing the indoor gardens, the afterschool, the student’s atrium, the communal terraces, and the coffee and bakery shop as communal spaces where activities can be performed together with the other dwellers or visitors.
