Upgrading the existing built heritage of the 70’s in Turin is currently a challenge towards energy transition and low carbon architecture. A meticoulus analysis of the worst permorming building - as well as the most interesting on the architectural side - led to the archetype in Via Rivalta 28. The design of two double skins, one - here shown - with reused waste materials and the other with breathable textile, is the outcome of context, climate and users analysis. Simultaneously, an estimation for an energy self-sufficient building is part of the project: parametric sun-based approach defines part of the designed elements. Lastly, nature invades the façade with its seasonal behaviour, ensuring comfort and wellness to the residents.
