AsThoughtarchitecture from concept to built form
Our main goal is to describe the design process, the architectural solutions and the detailing choices of a built work in a chronological order. The dream that is also the ambition is to tune at the best the structure of this on-line manual and to spread around its template in order to amplify the power of collecting and publishing in a such huge way that in a few years we could arrive at the largest open source and most browsed utility for architectural students not only in Europe.

Project description: Sports centre in Cortenuova (BG), Italy
Main architectural ideas: Cortenuova sports centre is located in transit area between hills and plain but its also a territory
where infrastructures and irrigation canals meet and mark the territory. The main idea was the
linearity comming from ploughland of surrounding fields. Importance of vertical landmarks in flat
landscape was taken also into consideration.
Project description
7Cortenuova Sports Centre - PBEB Architetti
La pianura bergamasca luogo di transito tra la collina e la pianura, luogo di transito di infrastrutture e
canali irrigui che segnano il territorio. Il luogo geograficamente chiaro, il suo orientamento nord-sud
da un lato la montagna e nella direzione opposta la pianura coltivata. I solchi della campagna entrano
nella citt;
Il programma funzionale prevedeva la realizzazione di nuovi spogliatoi e relativi spazi di servizio per il
nuovo campo da calcio, biglietteria, infermeria, locali tecnici, uno spazio per associazioni sportive e
giovanili; la realizzazione di nuove tribune coperte per il pubblico e uno spazio di magazzino per la ma-
nutenzione del campo da calcio.
Ogni corpo funzionale lavora alla scala territoriale presentandosi come infrastruttura allinterno del pae-
saggio
La struttura dei servizi separa le aree interne alla struttura sportiva da quelle pubbliche a parco alter-
nando i corpi funzionali delle associazioni sportive, degli spogliatoi, dei locali tecnici e dei servizi con tre
zone di ingresso porticate in corrispondenza dei tre principali punti di accesso allarea sportiva.
Il prospetto nord rivestito con un grigliato metallico in acciaio corten e restituisce uniformit fungendo
da barriera inibitoria antivandalismo.
Verso sud una zona porticata a sbalzo garantisce la presenza di un percorso pedonale protetto in senso
longitudinale. E rivestito con intonaco colorato a fascie di tonalit verdi che richiamano i colori della
vegetazione nelle parti chiuse e delle fascie di vetri di diverse tonalit in corrispondenza delle sale as-
sociative.
La realizzazione di nuove tribune coperte suddivisa in due settori e caratterizzata da una copertura in
acciaio di 9 metri di sbalzo. Le sedute sono realizzate con tegoli prefabbricati ad L con alzata inclinata
realizzati a progetto che appoggiano su setti trasversali di sottomurazione. Negli spazi sottostanti stato
ricavato uno spazio destinato a deposito attrezzi. Un muro longitudinale disposto lungo la direzione
nord/sud funge da spalla ad un terrapieno che si eleva rispetto al livello degli spogliatoi. Questo dislivello,
sommato a quello di ribassamento del campo da calcio limita la necessit di strutture particolarmente
elevate ed invasive, raccordando la differenza di livello tra il terreno da gioco e la quota dei campi agricoli

circostanti. Le tribune sono raggiungibili mediante una rampa in lieve pendenza fino al livello superiore
di accesso. Ci permette di separare nettamente i percorsi del pubblico dal livello del campo da gioco,
una scarpata inerbita separa i due livelli favorendo la maggiore integrazione con il contesto ambientale.
La realizzazione di un nuovo campo da calcio per il gioco a 11 in erba naturale completo di accessori e
di relativo impianto di irrigazione completer lintero intervento.
Lintero progetto stato pensato per integrarsi con il contesto territoriale, attraverso la valorizzazione
delle caratteristiche morfologiche e dei colori del territorio. Il campo da gioco principale sar omologato
per lo svolgimento delle partite della Lega nazionale dilettanti, inoltre, grazie allo studio di apposite tor-
rifaro per lilluminazione del campo da gioco, sar omologato anche per lo svolgimento delle partite in
notturna.
Ladozione di sistemi integrati di risparmio energetico (pannelli solari, vasca di accumulo per irrigazione
e integrazione del funzionamento della centrale termica con un pozzo irriguo) permettono di contenere
le spese di gestione dellintera struttura.
E in atto la pratica di definizione delle caratteristiche tecniche necessarie per la realizzazione di un
campo senza barriere sul modello gi sperimentato in alcuni paesi europei che in Lombardia rappresen-
terebbe un esempio di avanguardia in grado di trasformare un nuovo messaggio educativo sul valore
del gioco del calcio.

di unelevata qualit architettonica, costruttiva, e di corretto inserimento ambientale e paesaggistico per
mezzo di costanti verifiche sul progetto.
Ogni progetto risolto con lelaborazione di plastici e modelli informatizzati.
Lo studio si avvale della collaborazione di professionisti interni ed esterni che consentono di affrontare
al meglio le problematiche specifiche riguardanti gli aspetti tecnici e normativi

The office copes with both the integrated design and the construction supervision of civil, residential
and industrial buildings, being private and public. It has designed open spaces, public buildings for
sports and leisure and conference & congress spaces. It also deals with the restoration and preservation
of historical buildings. It is not only designing the volumes and spaces, but also the interiors and furniture
of the buildings, which can be either the offices designs or other designs. In addition, the office designs
furnishings and industrial installations for exhibitions and exhibition stands. The method of the design
and the conduct of the work are aimed to find a high quality architecture, construction and correct inser-
tion of environment and landscape through the project.
Each project is designed with a process of physical models and 3D models. Thus, the development
of the project can be seen from the models.
The office relies on the collaboration of internal and external professionals, who can designate the
problems and find solutions to the problems, concerning the design and technical issues.

My name is Mria Brdekov and I come from a nice small town Liptovsk Mikul in northern Slovakia.
I am a student of 1st year Masters degree at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and cur-
rently I am an Erasmus student at Politecnico di Milano.
In my free time I enjoy being in the nature, hiking in the mountains, skiing, reading books, travelling,
growing flowers, working in garden and socializing with friends. I am little person but I can make lot of
fun. My dream is to have a small house and big running dog.
I enjoyed visiting Cortenuova sports centre in snowy weather. My great thank belongs to Mr. Belloni for
his time and willingness to talk with me about this project and for providing me all materials about it.
As this is my first book I want to thank to my skillful father who always helped me with making models
and currently is working on my first design - fireplace. I thank to my mother who is supporting me dur-
ing my studies. Even she doesnt understand architectural theory, she always loved curved buildings...
