A new hotel in Duca d’Aosta square means creating a new space in the memories of the city that could be a new presence in the daily experience. The former building is a remarkable architecture especially for its urban character, its color and materiality. The pace and the depth of the new facades arise from the extent of the old’s one, whose modules were doubled in accordance with the monumental square and portico. The vertical elements get gradually thinner in the upper levels of the building while in parallel the openings become larger till they disappear on the top floor, merging with the sky. The hotel has approximately 170 different rooms overlooking the square, and is crowned by a rooftop terrace facing the city.

The wood project stems from the desire of creating a space rather than a building. It looks for an immediate relationship with scale of the architectures and of the open space with the individuation of the correct size for the unusual scale along with the desire to use a spatial principle and not a form, thus scale suggest similarities to linear systems of stoà from Mediterranean classicism. The unit of space and structure is made evident by the use of wood as a single material, choosing not to deal with the issue of diversity rather than with the uniformity one. The system repeats reiterating at different scales the same tapered column with median entasis, and the same slab element. In this way both biggest units and the smallest ones are composed with the same precast system. The project with its bareness offers the charm that structures have: the lack of what binds the building to a kind of contemporarity and makes it universal, giving up with the unnecessary.
