Workshop Program

Modern need for climatic comfort and the implementation of technologies suitable for energy self production demands impose a wide perspective over the management of the existing building fabric, capable of facing the energy efficiency, environmental sustainability and bioclimatic comfort issues also on a social and economical medium/long period scale. The above consideration is capable of increasing the value of the efforts that collectivity invests not only in terms of expenses – in this regard it’s important to point out that currently these structures are highly ‘energyvore’ – but mostly as fundamental investments for a new action model aimed at managing an existing well established patrimony which is very large and complex at the same time. These investments take into account the binding demand for energy efficiency and valorisation of biophysical and bioclimatic aspects for the overall environmental sustainability of the system, as well as improvement in terms effectiveness of the operation and management of the above mentioned structures.

In light of these considerations the workshop – open to a group of students form the Environmental Design Synthesis Studio in the Five Year School of Architecture EU, Environmental Design Studio in the School of Landscape Architecture, the Architecture Technology course at “Sapienza” University – University of Rome, School of Architecture – intends to operate research and take actions in the XVII Rome Municipio territory, paying particular attention towards public buildings, spaces “in between” buildings, marginal areas and urban voids, with the objective of improving their bioclimatic performance in terms of summer heat loss and mitigating the ‘heat island’ and overheating phenomenon, thanks to a requalification project that applies passive cooling techniques, innovative materials and integrates vegetation.

Ultimate objective of the workshop is defining a series of best practices and design solutions replicable and adaptable to other similar situations present on the XVII Rome Municipio territory.

The workshop was articulated in three phases:

• the first phase was characterized by a number of lectures given by instructors, public administration representatives and architects, which layed out the motivations of the workshop and the project sites investigating their anthropic, biophysical and bioclimatic characteristics;
• the second phase was dedicated to site analysis activities such as site visits and interviews to local people operated by the students of the workshop;
• the third and last phase consited in the production of design solutions for the environmental-energetic requalification of the urban area around Viale Mazzini, form Piazza Monte Grappa to Piazza Mazzini.

WINNING PROJECTS

FIRST PRIZE – Project “Strariprati” – “Tadao Ando” Group – Students: Cristina Daminato, Lucia Fedi, Cesare Garavoglia, Margherita Gavazzi, Debora Mondella, Beatrice Zaccaria.

FIRST RUNNER UP – Project -  “SuperStudio” Group – Students: M. Baldassarri, A. Ciocchetti, F. Coletta, M. D’Onofrio, D. Morone, I. Moscarelli.

SECOND RUNNER UP – Project “Les VasesComuniquants” – Group “Libera”- Students: Maria Laura Ambrogi, Stefania Carta, Valeria Gatta, Marion Levoir, Marco Liorni, Elisa Leoncini, Fabiana Rossetti.

Il progetto prevede la conversione del segno forte dell’attuale lungomare, in una percorrenza debole, principalmente ciclabile (e di emergenza), che permetta anche in un futuro la lenta e progressiva cancellazione della fettuccia di asfalto attualmente utilizzata e la sua sostituzione con sistemi di pavimentazione leggeri smontabili e riposizionabili.
I pontili saranno veri e propri “integratori di attività”; oltre a favorire la connessione tra l’accessibilità carrabile dei parcheggi e la fruizione pedonale delle dune, permetteranno anche la dislocazione di attività ludico ricreative “di mare”, complementari alla semplice balneazione, solitamente svolte sulla spiaggia, ed allo stesso tempo l’integrazione di queste ultime con ulteriori attività “di terra”. I pontili non solo ospiterebbero i parcheggi necessari ad assorbire il flusso di veicoli in aree sufficientemente lontane dalla duna, ma si verrebbero a configurare come percorsi attivi, luoghi non solo del passaggio, ma anche dell’incontro, grazie ai punti di ristorazione e per lo spettacolo; dello svago, grazie alle attività sportive e di piccola coltivazione; del commercio, grazie all’installazione di temporanei padiglioni di vendita; dell’apprendimento, grazie ai padiglioni informativi. I pontili disseminati sul territorio, saranno dunque un’aggregazione ibrida di accadimenti, una maglia complessa di museo diffuso del territorio, che al territorio si sovrappone. Ciascuno dei pontili di terra , non è costituito da una edificazione compatta e conclusa, ma al contrario, da una composizione di fasce funzionali distinte, allestimenti leggeri, che possono essere composti ed aggregati in maniera differenti in funzione della vocazione del territorio nel quale essi si vengono a collocare.

6) Outdoor fixtures.

A low environmental impact playground, subtly integrated with the surrounding landscape, suitable for all age groups: here children can play safely while their parents watch over them, sitting under the shadow of a tree and overlooking the emerald sea.

The project was based on the following objectives: to create a playground with a shape that would follow harmonically the shape of the Maddalena Island and the natural orography of the terrain; to diversify the activities of the children according to their age group (0-5 and 5-11) offering them three different levels of experience – visual, psychic and cognitive; to guarantee complete accessibility of the playground by people with special needs; to use natural and recyclable materials (local stones, sand, wood and autochthon plants) and renewable resources to provide electric power and to operate the water pups guaranteeing a very low environmental impact.
