The new institute is situated in a urban void in the south periphery of Florence, on the border between town and countryside. The rural area is characterised by the typical Florentine villas, hamlets and rural houses and the design of the school complex is strongly based on an accurate analysis of the shapes of this elements and of the character of the place.Indeed, the institute shape comes from a careful consideration of the relationship between solids and voids, itineraries and buildings and between this two elements and the landscape.The project aims for an harmonic synergy with the surrounding area, thanks to formal simplicity and essential architectural language, also due to the presence of the near graveyard.

The presence of courtyards ensures sufficient lighting and ventilation inside the building.

Solids and voids are combined in a complex scheme, in an interesting succession of spaces with different shapes and levels of privacy.

Courtyards work as a filter between spaces with different qualities.

For instance, a court on the main façade is a filter between the public street and the private interior space of the building, while a court on the rear façade is a filter between the building and the open fileds.

Most of the times the main façade is parallel to the street.

In other cases is not, in order to emphasize the volume of the building and allowing the creation of a small garden.

Usually the main façade is linear, while the other side, facing the open fields, divides into pieces in a series of courtyards and gardens.

In the most complex cases the rear façade opens like a fan to embrace the whole landscape.

SOLIDS AND VOIDS INNER COURTYARDS BUILDING AND STREETS HIERARCHY AND PRIMARY ELEMENTS ARCHITECTURAL MORPHOLOGYPrimary elements, like towers or advanced structures, emerge from the rest of the building.

This parts usually are situated in cental position or on the corner facing the street, emphasizing the volume of the building.

The institute is composed of several elements: a corner building that characterize the crossroad on the northwest part of the building site, the block that contains classrooms, laboratories and the mechanical building, the main hall that connects this two blocks and a gym. The main façade is compact and linear, while the other side opens like a fan to embrace the whole landscape.Inside the building, parallel to the main façade, runs an inner street that comprises a succession of spaces with different qualities: height, lightness, transparency and different relationship with the landscape and the urban context.Two deep courtyards in the form of a trapezium work as a filter between the main connective spaces of the institute and the open fields at the south border of the site.The parts of the institute opposite to the main façade’s side decrease in height and divide into fragments, in a combination of solids and voids.The gym becomes an isolated building and this make it possible to define a green courtyard dedicated to the library.The west block are reserved to public services for the local community, in order to make the institute a real civic center. The service block includes a two-storey library, of about 1,000 sqm, the auditorium for about 350 people and the gym, with an independent entrance that allows its use even when the school is closed.

RESTORATIONRURAL CHURCH OF YECLAYecla (Spain)

The rural church was built near Yecla, a town of the Autonomous Community of Murcia, in the southwest of Spain. The building dates from the end of the 18th century and it is assumed to be designed by the architect Pedro Guilabert.It is of Baroque style and it’s the most important religious building in rural Yecla.On plan it is a Greek cross, with a dome on a drum with four openings, that appear to be square from the outside and circular from the inside of the church.The main dome and the dome of the bell tower have lost all of the original white and blue tiles so now we can see the lower layer made of concrete. Walls are made of masonry with several plaster layers and reinforced corners worked in ashlar.The main façade faces south and has an elegant porch with masonry arches supported by square-section pillars. Encased on the wall above the porch there was a heraldic stone shield of the 18th century, which disappeared during the 1990s.

THE SURVEY OF THE CHURCHFirst step was the accurate survey of the building and the gathering of information about the rural church and its historical and cultural setting.The survey required a measuring tape, a spirit level, a water level, a plumb bob and a laser distance measurer. The laser and a professional digital camera helped us to make a survey even of the unreachable parts of the church, like the roof and the domes.We used eight reference points to measure the building using the trilateration technique.We took all the vertical measures from the level zero to the ground using the measuring tape and the plumb bob. We used the laser for the upper parts, although this distances turned out to be imprecise due to the type of laser measurer used.We used sketches to define technical drawings, then we used them as a base to collect all of the information on materials and the cracking and decay process.

THE RESTORATION PROJECTThe restoration project is based on the minimal intervention theory, in order to:• consolidate the structure of the building, to

find a solution for the building subsidence, that has caused cracks on the arches, vaults and on the outside part of the dome;

• restore the damp walls;• achieve correct internal airing;• remove every element recently added to the

church, made to exploit the building as a warehouse for agricultural instruments and machineries;

• completely clean the outside area of the building, invaded by vegetation, and the interior, deteriorated by dampness, mould and birds;

• every other intervention to convert the church into a centre to promote the local wine and food culture.

The intervention will be realized with the same materials used for the building, differentiating the new parts from the original ones and so avoiding the mimicry, thanks to slight variations of colours or simplified decorations.Interventions:• removal of recent wall covering and addition

of a new one, similar to the original one;• restoration of the existing windows and

openings and installation of new windows with wooden frames;

• installation of a new main door with a simplified design, to show that it’s a new element;

• completion of the cornice of moulded stone on the main façade, using the same material but with a simplified decoration;

• installation of new white and blue roof tiles on the main dome and on the dome of the bell tower, similar to the original ones. 0 1 2 5

The station consists of a tramway stop, two shops, a two-storey museum and a two-storey coffee bar.The museum and the coffee bar create two poles of attraction in the complex.They are connected by a glass roofing, supported by space frames and concrete pillars. The glass covering allows users to enjoy the view of the park and the Arno river, as well as making possible to exploit the natural light inside the station.That’s why the coffee bar has large windows and the museum a big skylight.

The project comprises 15,8 hectares of land, part of which is reserved for a public park. The residential buildings are dimensioned for about 1,000 inhabitants, with a volume of about 100,000 cu.m., of which the 70% is for residential use and the 30% for services.This services are situated in the middle of the district and consist of a school complex, currently not present neither in the town nor in the surrounding area, a library, a museum with a coffee bar and a restaurant, buildings for offices and several shops and neighborhood services.This multifunctional district provides a series of leisure and cultural activities, that make it a living center and a gathering place for the inhabitants.The dimension of the blocks is based on an analysis of the urban fabric of the town.

Their shape is the result of several design steps: first has been used a regular grid, then we introduced some deformations to avoid repetitiveness, but keeping a certain unity in the design.We decided to organize buildings around a series of interlinked courtyards, in order to reduce the fragmentation of the urban image.Voids have been carefully designed, because they are meant to be public squares or gardens, gathering places for people and not just empty spaces.The park and the green belt on the south side of the area work has a protection against traffic, noise and pollution.Trees in the public park and in the boulevards create a scenery for the buildings and indicate walkways and access routes.There are different type of routes: boulevards for car access to the district and pedestrian streets, separated from the other ones.

We defined several types of apartments, to respond to the needs of different users.To ensure air ventilation, every apartment has windows on two opposite sides, with a view both of the outside and of the inner courtyard.Partition walls has been defined to reduce the surface of corridors, in order to have larger rooms. The distance between bearing walls and the depth of the building are based on a study on several contemporary projects, that shows that the most used dimensions are about 5 m x 12 m.

The two-storey villa included in the residential building derives from a study of the architectures of Richard Meier and Le Corbusier. The living area is in the lower level and features a large double-height hall with a staircase that leads to the second level. Large French windows provide adequate natural illumination for the hall and the dining room and give access to a large loggia. The rest of the living area is occupied by a smaller living, services and a kitchen.The second level comprises three bedrooms and the related services.

As a second bridge, the museum covers the Giovanni da Verrazzano bridge, between the boroughs of Gavinana and Campo di Marte. The building is designed as a big box, with a steel structure supported by four towers. Inside, a very large open space is organized into some thematic areas, divided by sinuous paths. The interior of the museum is shaped by natural and artificial lighting, the former coming from the large glazing in the middle of the main façade, and the latter from several artificial sources, designed to enhance the pieces of art and to guide visitors along the exhibition itinerary.

The building is designed to ensure high performance and low construction cost.That’s why the structure is made mainly of aerated concrete, breathable material with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties. Heat insulation, heat bridges, building-plant system, roofing and foundation have been carefully defined, in order to achieve high levels of energy efficiency, which helps to reduce energy bills.The lightness of concrete blocks ensures fast construction and reduce the weight of the whole structure. This allows to reduce the complexity of foundation, saving time and reducing construction cost.

High performances are guaranteed thanks to:• a structure made of aerated concrete

blocks and panels; • a monolithic and ventilated foundation

that prevents the problem of rising humidity as well as the concentration of Radon gas emerging from the soil;

• high performance doors and windows, made of lamellar wood;

• a ventilated roof, in order to avoid excessive concentration of heat and humidity;

• a highly insulated roofing, made of aerated concrete panels and wood fiber panels;

• under-floor radiant panel heating system, that ensures uniform and comfortable space air conditioning. SOUTHWEST ELEVATION
