CANAL VERT CAMPUS
Sustainable and inclusive living project
The refunctionalization project of an ex-industrial complex is located in L’Argentière-la-Bessée, in the French Alps near the Italian border. The design objective is the creation of a new Univesity Campus for the woodwork and the study and use of the forests.
The project idea is to maintain only the building of the ex-hydroelectric power station and the structure of the central building of the complex, composed of steel pillars and trusses. Within the truss structure is created a new green and blue axis, which all other functions will be connected to.
The possibility to have public space inside the campus, the use of local materials, the use of dry technologies for the construction to simplify and facilitate future disassembly and reuse, the indoor and outdoor comfort are all the main themes focused on the development of the project, to achieve an energy and social sustainability.

HOSTANA
Green building design
The project is located in Ostana, a little town in the Po Valley in the Piedmont Alps.
Hostana is a social housing complex composed of three single-space apartments, two apartments for little families and a common area with a kitchen, a living room, a study room and a co-working area. The intervention follows the municipal program for the reintegration of young families and the repopulation of the medial areas and mountainous areas, which have seen rapid abandonment since the post-war period.
The village concept lets an easy connection between the residential apartments and the common area, at the same time it lets less heat loss during the winter season. The sustainability aspects are the main focus of the design: materials (use of local materials like stone and wood), technologies (the buildings are with a dry construction system to simplify and facilitate a future disassembly and reuse of the materials, an example is gabion stone system for the external wall finishing) and social level (there is an outdoor common space on the rooftop of the common area).

THE DECAY OF AYITI Architecture, society and territory
Since the colonial period, Haiti has been strongly deforested and agriculture has exploded. It is a high risk territory that is constantly affected by natural disasters. The previous events led to the degradation of the territory, causing soil erosion, flooding and biodiversity loss.
In a possible future scenario in which the rise of the sea level will divide Haiti into two different islands, sets up strategies to decrease the risks and let the population live and not only exist are essentials. Human and nature cohabitation is a fundamental element for the rewilderness process and for the construction of new villages in nature. In this scenario, a return of biodiversity, trees and animals, is also important to allow a new relationship between humans and nature.

RIABITARE ALICIA
Atelier costruction

The consequences of the Belice earthquake of 1968 are still visible today. The historical centre of the town of Salemi, located in the province of Trapani, has been almost completely abandoned since this event due to the significant damage of the buildings, leading to the creation of a new urban area for the inhabitants in the peripheries.
The project aims to reactivate these urban voids to attract the community again and develop new social and economic activities.
The “Giardini del Carmine” area is transformed into a small university campus, thanks to the proximity of the town to the archaeological sites of western Sicily. At the same time, there are established shops and residence areas for cultural, food and wine tourism.
The historical memory of the site is maintained by preserving the ruins of the pre-existing walls: these elements characterise the urban design defining streets, green areas and private areas of the residential buildings.

MACROLOTTO 0 - PRATO Atelier
city and territory
The “Macrolotto 0” is a district of Prato, Italy, economically based on the textile industry, but since the 90’s the district has been almost completely occupied by a Chinese community. The strong presence of their own culture has developed a city inside the city, a Chinese neighbourhood rarely frequented by the other inhabitants of the city.
The city’s objective is to attract again the entire population to this area by intervening in abandoned buildings and areas of the district. The project aims to connect the municipal project already under construction and the Prato Borgonuovo train station with a larger pedestrian area. To this street are attached public squares used for community space or commercial areas and social activities.

THE ROYAL PALACE
Restoration and integrated conservation
The restoration project needs a change of approach instead of the traditional design. The detailed attention and the importance of the historical aspects are fundamental to preserving the value of the building.
The fourth floor of the Royal Palace of Turin is used as a storage room, but it shows the potential to be part of the museum already existing on the other floors and to be used for new interactive activities, like painting, drawing and modelling, to extend the cultural proposal available in the palace.
Other rooms can be dedicated to ateliers and workshops used by the universities: in this way, the Royal Palace will become a new research centre about the restoration, the history and the properties of the Savoy family.
