From a non-site to an urban site the project area needs to be physically and functionally reconnected with the city.
So how would it be possible to transform an inactive monofunctional space, a non-place, into a destination place?
The strategy is to combine the three neighborhood city systems into a new music district through three simple actions: allow the urban fabric to enter the site, cornering the main roads and accesses, and involving the existing philharmonic; designing a permeable public green park, to be able to restore the natural purpose of the site; inserting a new attractive urban landmark.
The site area becomes part of the city involved in urban dynamics with a recognized attitude strengthened.
How is it possible that the three different systems work together to promote a regenerative process?
The urban objective of the project determines its genesis by superimposing the layers, preserving its peculiarities, but entertaining in a unitary organism. The new concert hall becomes an urban landmark to be able to link the new complex to the existing buildings, as a point of connection between the historical heritage of the city and its projection towards the future.

New Gwanghwamun square
Honorable mention
Ta.Ri Architects
Analyzing the project site, it seems immediately clear that the two huge streets that cross the project area act as barriers to the pedestrian connection of the site, leading to a profound lack of permeability. Also, being the spatial extension of the whole society and the city itself, the square has always been changing following all the important historical and social events. Gwanghwamun Square has a very deep historical heritage, which is unfortunately not represented now, leading to a profound loss of symbolic value.
Our response is a new conception of that space, which needs to be a symbol of everyone and at the same time a place for everyone. Gwanghwamun will be a place capable of representing the entire Seoul community. The project consists of a double-level public space, with a covered plaza that understands the historical memory and social values of citizens, and an underground plaza, which offers attractive functions for residents and visitors. The monument is a place where people can gather or just walk through. It is a space with a collective objective, which represents the union between citizens, and which, for this reason, offers a huge space that people can use freely.
Music and sound center for youth
Ta.Ri Architects
The main objective of the project is to provide a unique center of the city completely dedicated to musical activities. But how this building can help and improve the musical skills of young students?
The main idea is to have a place where young musicians can meet and socialize, and where they can share all the experiences to improve the quality of their music. So, a building where exchange is encouraged. How can we design a place where the relationship between people is at the base of the architecture?
The Youth Music Activity Capacitor is the answer. It is divided into 3 different functional blocks: the public block, placed on the ground directly connected to the city and totally permeable, and the knowledge block where musicians can study and find to enjoy their current express themselves. The layered system is intended to encourage a vertical enjoyment of activities, from the background (audience) to reach the exhibition crossing through theoretical study and practice.
The project site will be located in the center of a vital and dynamic urban area, which will be surrounded by new heterogeneous buildings such as start-up and cultural industrial center, the photographic art museum and the complex of arena photography facilities that will generate new connections. urban through our project.
Our idea is not an ordinary building, but a suspended volume that will lead to full permeability of the ground floor.
This perspective view highlights the relationship between the urban ground floor and the suspended volume. This building is one to represent the robot world. for this reason, the idea was that of an element capable of moving and communicating like a robot: therefore, an interactive kinetic building.
On the one hand, a moving façade capable of drawing different configurations of the ground floor, depending on the needs and the exhibitions hosted by the museum.
On the other hand, an interactive façade, made of small Plexiglas cubes with a back. when it is turned off, the facade is crossed by the external light that filters inside. when lit, natural light is protected, giving way to an opaque façade.

The intervention area is in a barycentric position compared to a system of centrality and urban attractions, including the connection cable to the historic center and a strongly natural landscape context. This “borderline” value of the project area suggests the interchange and connection role that the new parking lot must perform between the two different components.
But how to insert the new project harmoniously in such an exceptional context? How to make an infrastructure, an attractive place in the interaction between citizens?
These questions suggested a contemporary reflection on the meaning of the historical testimony of the site at the service of daily needs, so that the new system is not a simple car park, but a real place for the city. A meeting and sharing space for the entire San Marino community, thanks to the understanding of heterogeneous activities that can define a multifunctionality of the spaces, ensuring continuous attractiveness and functionality. Everything has been inserted respectively into the peculiar Sanmarinese environment and deeply integrated with the surrounding nature through the insertion of authentic plant species.
Uyuni shelter
The islands and the Tunupa volcano are intrinsic elements of the landscape of the Salar de Uyuni. However, the degradation is becoming more noticeable. For this reason, we have decided to project an island that is born from the same soil, implanting it within the logic of islands, in order to encourage the transfer of people to the new piece and preserve the existing ones.
We have created spaces that provide visitors with different sensory experiences in relation to the salt flat, which vary with the seasons and the presence or absence of sunlight. These experiences seek to connect nature with our infinite, personal selves.
The island incorporates properties of the existing natural elements and blends in with nature itself. The spaces are conceived taking into account the materiality that surrounds them and the cycles of the salt flat. Resources such as salt construction as the main material, directed visuals and light and water entrances are used.
The project seeks to provide an introspective and intimate experience. The interior is a journey that puts into play the various feelings, seeking to reconnect visitors with nature, enhancing the virtues of the place. The tour culminates in a viewpoint where the landscape expands completely again: absolute immensity in front of the eyes.
Piastra E.U.R.
Studio Alfonso Giancotti
The building is located in the “Esposizione universale di Roma” area, a place where it was wanted to show the world the technological advances but due to the war, this intention was abandoned. Speaking more specifically, there is a complex of incomplete buildings in the area due to the lack of resources to continue construction. The objective of this work is to create a new project for one of the buildings with the foundations of what has been left unfinished, fully exploiting its potential and improving the opportunity that the building offers us.
Taking advantage of the fact that the structure of the building is finished, the new morphology of the volume adapts to it. the structure is left as it was and some parts are filled or emptied depending on the new features of the project.
However, the distribution of the floors and the facades are modified since it is necessary to find new solutions that consider the spaces that have been requested. Therefore, it has been decided to lower the building accompanying the urban roof in order to contemplate the panoramic views towards the lake in the area. On the other hand, a new space is created in the heart of the volume due to the cut that crosses the entire element, allowing to enter an internal space upon entering, and refunctionalizing the interior life of the building.

Rooted in the past but with a contemporary twist, Rav Kook Residences embody a deep commitment to preserving the architectural, historical, and spiritual aspects of the original site. As a creative architect, observation is central to my design process. I begin each of my projects by observing the surrounding area to get a sense of the context to which the place belongs and to understand the spirit that permeates it. I strive to tap into what the place wants to happen within it so as not to force anything upon it.
Rav Kook Residences is planned as a harmonious encounter between past, present, and future within a collection of preserved and new buildings. After studying its historical building elements, including the work of artisans who came to Palestine in the late 1800s and built this site, were created modern architectural details that incorporate elements from the past while offering fresh inspiration for generations to come.
At the beginning of the investigation we analyzed the urban fabric of Buenos Aires with respect to degraded spaces and their history. Studying the problems and polluting factors showed that the lack of sustainable thinking prevents places in use, disuse and vacancies from being used for possible project decisions for an ecosystemic urbanity. We propose a possible solution that establishes a spatial requalification, with operations that can be replicated throughout the city.
Taking Avenida Juan B. Justo and Arroyo Maldonado as a case study, we establish different operations that seek to generate a network in the fabric so that it responds to a sustainable and efficient city. We identify the surrounding sectors as an opportunity and categorize the possible ecosystem spaces with greater flexibility and great capacity to adapt to respond to future needs.
Operations must not only be carried out on vacant lots and green spaces, but also on densely built areas and consolidated buildings.
Replicating these interventions in Buenos Aires, defining the necessary ecosystem response in each space, would reorder the structure of the city, imposing a new organization on the way of life of citizens linked to the environmental demands of our times. Part of the solution lies in the creation of new ecosystem buildings and the reconfiguration of existing ones. If these elements work together, it will be possible to conceive of a Buenos Aires prepared for the challenges that cities will face in the future.
If we consider the city as a living ecosystem in a constant process of transformation (which is replaced, maintained and reinvented), it is necessary to rethink the way of producing architecture and focus on providing sustainable responses that coexist with the environment in an appropriate way.
This work will focus on the search for viable action alternatives that are adapted to the current needs of the city and that are more respectful of the ecosystem. The objective is to recover urbanism based on improving the quality of life of citizens by revitalizing fragments that have become obsolete or degraded, and that their renovation supposes a qualitative growth for the city.
If we intend to achieve an ecosystemic Buenos Aires, it is necessary to rethink the possible scenarios of its existing spaces, revaluing them from different perspectives: landscapes, urban structures, identity, etc. Likewise, the creation of new urban spaces that restore life to completely deteriorated central areas will be opportune. To achieve this we must consider new cycles of life and the ability to regenerate the existing instead of continuing to make the city scatter.
Throughout the work, we will try to find out if there is the possibility of designing an architecture capable of adapting to the continuous urban evolution-transformation, taking into account both citizen and environmental needs.
