COMPETITION TITLE: CULTURE STATIONS 2021 TYPE: COUNTRY TOWN RENOVATION

SITE: ELINI, ITALY

The Weaving is a design proposal to revitalise Elini, a small rural Italian town in Sardinia. The proposition aims to celebrate the old traditions and culture of Elini by adapting the new to the old.

The scheme includes redevelopments to the train station, a market place, an art gallery, hotel complex and a lookout area. Each designs are iterated through an unique journey, yet the composition of the overarching town redevelopment are predetemined by a mapping of the “weaving” pattern of Sardinia. As such, although the design of each buildings differ, the buildings at different locations are geometrically and architecturally connected.
