Inspirations of water

We, like flowing water, we are wanderers in search of a sea. Baldan Juan Gadea, In loneliness and love, 1998
Controlled deformation

with: Roberto Greco, Enzo Gioffrè

We introduce this project for a tourist center and service, the sense of a search that starts from the premise to relate to each other different energies that build urban space, energy generating different speeds and enveloping that give rise to the various needs and formalize the buildings. So we have tried to give substance to the "resultant" of this product. We are close to the tourist port of Alghero, and a first flow component is made up of connective pedestrian arriving and departing from the docks and the city. Qusta component is intersected at 90 degrees from driveways urban streams. The merging of the flows originating the building, which becomes the representation of the movement of this portion of the city.

In the bed of the river 

We are in a very small fraction of the city of Messina, where in 1996 the municipal administration decided to build the site, defining a series of squares that replace and integrate the use of space as a perennial parking, facing maturity with an interesting problem now become gangrene of our cities and which is constantly under the eyes of all. The project (unrealized), accepts the fact that on the one hand, the site does not allow an effective and meaningful solution to the question, the other has a large element signifying the river. The river and the flow of water (no more present in her bed alas) become then the approach and the common thread that governs the entire construction of spaces, from paecheggio "underground" of the square itself.

Designing an island

with: Roberto Greco, Enzo Gioffrè

Designing an island is not easy, especially when it insisted on an old factory. Also in this case the sense of the operation was to seek harmony in the admixture of the main elements constituting the place. The water of the river flowing steadily defines the perimeter of the island. The flows "human" that cross or that connect the inside and from the last of the buildings and the main functions required.
