SUBTRACTION AND ADDITION

THIS PROJECT COMBINES PROGRAMATIC ELEMENTS OF A JAPANESE TEA HOUSE AND A GREEK THEATER INTO A MIXED USE SPACE, LOCATED IN THE CAPPA COURTYARD.

PRECEDENT STUDY.

THE RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS OF THE PIAZZA MAGGIORE, SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTANDING THE URBAN RESPONSE AND FUNCTION OF THE SPACE.

7

THE CITY OF BOLOGNA IS ORGANIZED THROUGH A GRID PATTERN, CENTERING THE PIAZZA MAGGIORE ALONG THE MAIN AXIS ROAD, VIA RIZZOLI. THIS ROAD RUNS THROUGH HALF THE CITY, TERMINATING EAST OF THE MAGGIORE AND FORKING INTO 5 OTHER STREETS. THE LAYOUT OF THE STREETS IN THIS AREA FOLLOWS A GRID PATTERN THAT IS CHARACTERIZED BY STRAIGHT STREETS INTERSECTING AT RIGHT ANGLES, CREATING A GEOMETRICALLY ORGANIZED URBAN FABRIC.

FOUNTAIN OF NEPTUNE: THE FOUNTAIN OF NEPTUNE IS A STRIKING SCULPTURE LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF PIAZZA MAGGIORE. DESIGNED BY GIAMBOLOGNA IN THE 16TH CENTURY, THIS FOUNTAIN IS A SYMBOL OF BOLOGNA’S ARTISTIC HERITAGE.

BASILICA DI SAN PETRONIO: ANOTHER PROMINENT ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE OF PIAZZA MAGGIORE IS THE BASILICA DI SAN PETRONIO. THIS UNFINISHED BASILICA IS ONE OF THE LARGEST CHURCHES IN THE WORLD BY VOLUME AND FEATURES A GOTHIC FACADE. THE CHURCH IS ALIGNED NORTH TO SOUTH, UNLIKE MOST CHURCHES, BECAUSE IT HOLDS THE LARGEST SUNDIAL IN THE WORLD.

PALAZZO D’ACCURSIO: ALSO KNOWN AS THE PALAZZO COMUNALE. THIS GRAND PALACE DATES BACK TO THE 13TH CENTURY AND SHOWCASES A MIX OF ARCHITECTURAL STYLES, INCLUDING GOTHIC AND RENAISSANCE ELEMENTS. THE FACADE OF THE BUILDING IS ADORNED WITH INTRICATE DETAILS, SUCH AS ARCHES, COLUMNS, AND DECORATIVE SCULPTURES, REFLECTING THE WEALTH AND POWER OF THE CITY DURING THAT PERIOD. PREVIOUSLY USED AS THE TOWN HALL, THE BUILDING IS NOW AN ART MUSEUM.

PALAZZO DEI BANCHI: ORIGINALLY BUILT AS A PLACE FOR MERCHANTS, THE BUILDING PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN THE ECONOMIC LIFE OF BOLOGNA DURING THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD. THE GROUND FLOOR WAS USED AS A MARKETPLACE WHERE GOODS WERE BOUGHT AND SOLD, WHILE THE UPPER FLOORS HOUSED OFFICES AND LIVING QUARTERS. OVER THE CENTURIES THE PALAZZO DEI BANCHI HAS UNDERGONE SEVERAL RENOVATIONS AND MODIFICATION. TODAY, IT STANDS AS A TESTAMENT TO BOLOGNA’S RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE AND ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY.

ANALYSIS OF THE SITE:

- LACK OF “GREEN SPACE,” THE PIAZZA IS ONE CONTINOUS PATHED AREA, WITH NO TREES OR PLANTERS

- CIRCULATION IS OPEN: THE SPACE IS VERSATILE AND IS USED AS A MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACE FOR SPECIAL EVENTS, MOVIE/FILM SHOWINGS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS.

- THE PIAZZA ITSELF IS DEFINED BY THE GROUND: A SMALL LEDGE WHERE SPECIAL BRICK PATTERNS ARE, DEFINE THE SPACE

- THE PIAZZA HAS TWO MAIN POINTS OF ENTRY

- ACCESS FROM MAIN ROAD ALLOWS FOR ACCESSIBILITY AND SYMBOLIZES SIGNIFICANCE

- BUILDING HEIGHT VARIES, AND RELATES TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BUILDING

- TALLEST BUILDING POINT OF THE PALAZZO DEL PODESTA ALIGNS WITH THE CHURCH’S PEAK.

NOLA: SOUNDTRACK OF A CITY.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SITE LOCATED IN NEW ORLEANS, EMPHESIZING GREEN SPACE, CONSIDERING URBAN CONTEXT, AND DEVELPMENT OF A CIVIC AND RESIDENTIAL SPACE.

THIS PROJECT IS CENTERED AROUND THE IDEA OF USING MUSIC TO CREATE COMMUNITY, AND FOCUSES ON CREATING SPACES THAT REFLECT THE SPIRIT OF NEW ORLEANS AND THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY WITHIN IT. NEW ORLEANS HAS A RICH CULTURE THAT IS REFLECTED IN NOT ONLY THE MUSIC, FOOD, ART, AND PEOPLE, BUT THE URBAN LANDSCAPE IT’S BUILT UPON.
