The proposal for the renovation and expansion of the Protected Workshops and Youth Center in Prad am Stilfserjoch pursues the strategic goal of gathering the different planned activities in a compact architecture, allowing for a synergical coexistence. To evoke a familiar and serene atmosphere capable of establishing relationships of recognition and identification in the new building, the intervention draws upon local construction tradition in the combination of a compact and mineral pedestal with a lighter wooden crowning, with an extreme visual permeability.

The intervention entails the conversion of an ex-industrial building, originally intended for the processing and preservation of fruit, into a new polyfunctional civic space designed for fairs, exhibitions and cultural, social and commercial events. The project area is a strategic element of the “Portanuova” project, a segment of the city North of the centre, subject to a strong urban transformation involving the construction of a new train and bus station, the recovery and restoration of disused buildings and a total reconfiguration of the road network. In this setting, the new architectural proposal assumes the role of a new “gateway” into San Donà, the first and most significant architectural volume one encounters upon entering the city.

The project for the new church, parish house and pastoral ministry premises in Giavera del Montello aims to become a qualifying presence in the neighbourhood, capable of orienting and organising the surrounding outdoor spaces, endowing them with new urban meaning, social value and identity strength. The urban design strategy works as a sum of elements in which the void acts as cohesion between the parts. The building thus arises from the resolution of certain perspective axes, as the negative of the open space, the required volumes are fragmented to create a place capable of emphasising pedestrian and visual relations; the new church is independent and at the same time connected to the rest of the complex. Its morphological configuration is composed of a solid opaque wall enclosure finished in Piave stone that resolves the contact with the ground in a decisive manner, and a thin system of continuous roofing in white cement that gravitates, without touching it, on the underlying wall apparatus, allowing natural light to infiltrate inside.

The design for the new Multifunctional Hub stems from a long and elaborate analysis of the local traditional architecture, and in particular of the rural vernacular buildings characteristic of Sappada and, more broadly, of the eastern Dolomites. A study of the morpho-typological research by Eduardo Gellner revealed recurring traits, which have guided the design strategy from the very first ideas: the compact and sober volume of the traditional wooden houses, organised under a single unitary double-pitched canopy; the stone base at ground level that corresponds to the barn and protects the wooden structure from contact with the snow; the slatted shutters in spruce wood, typical of barns, that form complex moth-eaten compositions on the façade; the loggias, terraces, stairs and external circulation systems that establish a rich relationship between the domestic and public spheres. These elements were absorbed and synthesised by the new building, configured as a simple two-storey volume, embedded in a natural concavity of the topography. Continue reading ETB

The proposed intervention aims to restore a new urban square in the town of Sappada. Open to the public, usable by all and flexible in its functions, the square integrates itself within and completes the complex church-cemetery system, for the creation a new urban polarity. Continue reading ETB
