PROJECT: Cinema - Restaurant - Shop - Public spaces - Services
AREA: 10.000 m2
LOCATION: Soverato - Italy
CLIENT: City of Soverato
TYPE: Proposal
STATUS: ON GOING 2012
YEAR: 2011/2012
TEAM : Schiavello Architects Office
DESCRIPTION: Given the national importance of the public space issues and the opportunity they present in promoting the city of Soverato, the new project aims to find a solution for city areas which will hopefully enhance the quality of urban life. On the other hand, it aims to establish a strong link with the dynamics of contemporary society through functional solutions that meet the needs of the day and night activities of the neighborhood. The building attempts to revive an entire urban area through a series of coordinated actions, implementing the best design solution that combines the diverse needs of rationalization of traffic and the revitalization of commercial, industrial and cultural sites. The goal is to create a pole of aggregation that can revitalize the waterfront through the localization of Soverato’s new architecture. The neglected industrial area is currently poorly integrated with the urban context and requires a general reconfiguration, rendering it qualitatively recognizable in the urban landscape. The idea of the project is to create an iconic building into a focal point between the waterfront and the city. The project harnesses the power of the unique location; the Multipurpose Center is designed so that the building becomes a true urban park, with the fluid line taken by the morphology of the ground and the motion of the sea. A series of open-air amphitheaters overlook the waterfront and take advantage of the wonderful sea as a backdrop of Soverato. These forms allow the fluid to pass through the multi-purpose center in a different way. In this way the architecture is revealed from time to time, unexpectedly offering panoramic views. The aim of the project is to build a new center with space for shopping and culture that will also become a venue for large and small cultural events and commercial activities of the City of Soverato.

DESCRIPTION: The platform of “Russia-Organic city” symbolizes the cultural and historical origins of Russia in a way that shows the relationship between the future and the past, between the sacred and the profane. Towers have always been a much loved feature of Russian architecture skyscrapers such as Kremlin, Lomonosov University and hotel Ucrainia where built with pointed tops, or inflated vertical turrets which gave an exotic air to the buildings associated with the Russian upper middle classes (the “Litejnij prospekt” or the “Petrogradskaja Storona”). These turrets had different uses they could house private chapels or simply be used as additional rooms in houses of the well-to-do. Starting from this analysis, is born the concept of a new city which is a fusion of historical and futuristic vision of Russia. The Organic-city will be an ecological city with residences and services for 10.000 inhabitants with an area of 400,000 square meters and 500,000 square meters for recreational activities which can be positioned anywhere. In this futuristic, fluid and dynamic city, the inhabitants can move in different themed areas(residences, private and public green spaces) as if they were passing through an urban “landscape” with many different situation. The structure is built with a double eco compatible skin with transparent diamond- cut exterior shell which allows the snow to slide easily and which on sunny days gathers energy thanks to organic photovoltaic cells positioned outside of the building.

AWARD: Cited by Honorary Members World Architecture COMMUNITY, WINNERS /11nd Cycle World Architecture Community Awards
DESCRIPTION: SAO architecture concept has made a design for a square in the center of Tropea – The main idea of the project is to create a new symbolic place: a meeting place and focal point for the city. Tropea is a wonder of Calabria, a province which enjoys a beautiful sea, containing waters rich with fish and shellfish, and now the starfish has been made the starting point for our research. The starfish which is a pantamer with five arms, which radiate from a central disc. This represents for us the center of our square and the arms of the star are the streets that spill into it. The arms will attract the people of Tropea as well as tourists to the heart of the place. The new urban situation will present the city with a new central point for Tropea now and in the future. It will be a meeting point for the people. This will be a backdrop for the beautiful sea that distinguishes it from many other places in the province of Vibo Valentia. The square outline will change from day to night. During the day the circular marks on the ground are what catches your eyes. In the evening, thanks to the strip of LEDs positioned to the extreme of these circular elements, you will have very impressive light effects: no longer just starfish, but a construction of star fields. The square will create a strong symbolic reference to the relationship between heaven and earth.

DESCRIPTION: Tennis is a very athletic and popular sport all over the world. We will show with this extraordinary design the motion that is inside every sport, not only tennis. The design is not as all the other tennishalls, it will show his unique and will surprise by its characteristics.the idea of the design is to show the movement, the power of sports. the whole structure seems to be in motion and it will be a sign, a brandmark for the company and the sport or events which will be inside! It is a moving, dancing building which subscribes the motion in sport. But technically it will be surprising by the possibility to open it up. The shape is more or less like an akkordeon it will be stretched and shrinked, depends on the weather conditions outside. the idea is to develop a system which is easily constructable. the frames are in addition like an akkordeon and they can be moved aside when it is wanted. the skin should be a double skin with ETFE foil and a foil of photovoltaik. these can be stretched and shrinked. developing a system with this approach is a possibilty to connect the design with competence of the södra company. It will bring a nice reflection of light inside but it also is protected by semi translucent photovoltaik plates which can be used like an ornament on the buildings skin. So two things are solved, ecological energy and sunlight or direct light protection. the tribunes are technically easy to move and so it is possible to use the space as as one big hall for exhibitions or other events. not only sport, not only useable in one way. the area of the entrance and reception is a place of contemplation and meeting, a café will be a place of relax with the reflections of the indirect sunlight.

DESCRIPTION: Our primary purpose is to respond the request to design a building for Oslo of extraordinary architectural and Historical significance and to create a public resource for Oslo that would benefit the community in which it is located, creating a world class cultural facility in Norway. The project proposal is to generate a new synthetic landscape through the understanding and integration ofits systems. It will be a landmark, a new recognizable structure; a sign of the national museum history able to attract at the same time both international artists and private collectors to support the institution, increasing international interest in Norwegian culture in a way to create a new economic and tourist resource for Oslo. The National Museum is not just a place where norwegian culture is displayed, but mainly an artificial path, a Museum_scape, a stroll through the history of a culture and a place; it is a natural place closely related to the culture of the norwegian people, a place for interaction and gathering, a place for learning and studing . The new museum will substantially contribute to the cultural offerings of the city, and will make an important statement about the future development of Oslo: -Ecological: the rooftop as an urban resource; the museum building as a “living organism” with bioclimatic features. -Historical: the renovation and connection to the historical preexistences in order to restore historical value and identity to the place. -Cultural: the museum intended as a pathway that brings into dialogue art and ecological issues. -Social: the museum as a community space with a variety of functions fostering social interaction. -Recreational: a complex program which could revitalize this portion of the City of Oslo.

DESCRIPTION: Turin: the City projected into the Future The city of Turin is not just for the Fiat any more. The city of Giovanni Agnelli has been changing fastly: world capital of book in 2006 and Design world capital in 2008. Turin as a post-olympic city have been trying to find a way to develope the city in aspect of culture. It is a moment for the city to be transforming totally. The main character of Turin is surrounded by nature: Alphs mountain with snow in whole winter. The proposal for roof represents this character of city with the form of nature. To obtain the fluid forms for the roof we generate a new geometry, which is deformed from esagonal geometry. This deformed geometry is also linked into the concept of the volta of Mole Antonelliana that is a simbol of the city of Turin.

DESCRIPTION: Landschaft, Baukörper und Kinder Ausgehend von dem Grundgedanken und formulierten Leitsätze der Aufgabenstellung sucht das Projekt eine neue Wahrnehmung der Architektur für Kindern. „Die Geometrie“ wird als primordiale Begriff in unsere Entwurf gebracht. Kindern brauchen eine „irrationale Raum“, wo sich seine eigene Kreativität entwickeln können. Kurven, Kreisen, Silhouetten sind geometrische Figuren, die nicht nur eine unendliche Bewegung vorzeigen, sondern auch eine neue Art der Raum Definition präsentieren: „irrationale Räume“ Die kurvische Verlauf der Wänden formulieren neue erlebare Räume, und lassen interessanten Blickbeziehungen erstellen. Der Raum, der Weg und der Aussenraum fliessen über das ganzen Gebäude.Städtebau Das städtebauliche Prinzip des Entwurfes basiert sich auf eine Auseinadersetzung des bestehendes Esembles. Die bestehende Organistation situiert sich entlang der BLA BLA Strasse, und lässt ein Teil der Freiflächen und Sportflächen ins Freie. Die Priorität der Zusammenfassung der unterschiedlichen Nutzungen werden das Ziel des Projektes sein. Es entsteht eine neue Formulierung der „Campus Konzept“. Diese versteht sich als Gesamtanlage der Schule. So werden Freiräume, Grünflächen, Spielflächen,Sportflächen, Wege, und die dazugehörigen Nutzungen zusammen intergriert. Schüler, Lehrer, Passanten, Gäste, Eltern flanieren die neue Verbindungszonen, und werden ein Teil des Areals. Die Dreifache Sporthalle schliesst die letzte Ecke des Areals, und formuliert so die letzte Schlussknote im Netz. Die Funktionen sind vernetzt.

DESCRIPTION: llife is growing. Statistically we will have more then 9 billion human beings on our planet earth in 2050! all these people will need room to live and will use energy in an massive and extraordinary scale. it is time to think out of scale, it is time to develop ideas, to develop concepts to solve these problems and to find a solution for everyone and not at least for the whole planet. in the first phase we will introduce our concept in an abstraction of signs symbols with the aim of reality. in addition it will bring all needs together which are useful for every situation in every circumstance. this is the fusion and interflow that we are proposing and which takes consilience with the goals in futuretime. it can be used in the cities as parasites on top of the roofs, in open places, in demolished structures. on the countryside to complete existing structures or to develop a new colonisation with eco-friendliness.

DESCRIPTION: Il progetto nasce dalla volontà di dare un segno forte, semplice ed innovativo alle Rfi. Grazie alla semplice rotazione di un modulo base, si riescono ad ottenere stazioni di varie dimensioni ( flessibili non solo in lunghezza ma anche in profondità ); questa modularità rende molto semplice ed adattabile questo progetto non solo ad ogni tipo di stazione , ma anche ad ogni tipologia di ambiente interno. Molta attenzione è stata apportata alla forma ed alla dimensione del modulo base al fine di consentire, inoltre, un notevole risparmio di costi e di tempi: la prefabbricazione dei singoli pezzi e l’assemblaggio di questi, rende semplice e veloce sia il trasporto che il montaggio in cantiere. La composizione dei moduli ci mostra un’interessante profilo dei prospetti da qualunque parte ci si trovi.Anche la luce assume un aspetto importante in questo progetto; dalle calotte sferiche ricavate dalla geometria del modulo, si hanno degli ampi lucernari che permettono l’ingresso della luce in ogni ambiente. Molti di essi potrebbero anche essere sostituiti da pannelli solari che porterebbero una copertura energetica pari all’80% . Il sottopassaggio e’ stato adeguatamente studiato rendendolo, non più un tunnel buio e monotono, ma un passaggio illuminato di grande effetto.
