Rubik’s
Rubik’s Concept, flexible device, mutable and inventive
Team point of view Our concept is based on a new perception of the land with the implementation of a 16 m x 16 m urban network and an evolutionary process of urbanization. With the existing fabric providing the fundamental anchor, specific actions and goals appear as a multitude of impulses that gradually revitalise, redefine and rebalance the district. The spatial and temporal organization generates versatile, adjustable, modular and architectural closed spaces and an ecological landscape. This Rubik’s style mesh effectively depicts the work of composition and develops a method of processing the site. Without a formal proposal or predefined hierarchy, the project seeks to be autonomous, with every typology responding individually to needs, without losing general urban coherence. Jury point of view The project proposes a real planning tool for an evolutionary development process. The establishment of urban “stimuli” suggests future choices. This approach builds a structured project where different elements of the programme are interwoven in a global logic that is gradually affirmed. However it proposes no architecture or building scales, except a grid and a small study on the “in-between”.
