In this project i tried to solve the main emergency for this site and latitude, the rain.

While i was studying the concept i found that a big roof, preserving from the rainfalls, was the main sense and the image to develope. I shaped it in three parts, because of the functions and activities, one for the administrative offices and the learning area, oen for the production and relative staff-living area and one for the visitors.

An other element coming from a climatic emergency, as seen on local examples, is a second soil to let air dry humidity. The roof deconstructs it self becoming brisèe-soleil to filter direct sunlight and create shadows and atmoshperes.

The project also relate to geographic contest lying like a lizard on the hillside, giving his body to the sun, trying to capture rays in.

Inside there’s a suspended platform for keeping technologic distribution safe from water and cover the most private areas like offices, restrooms, computer training room and auditorium. The platform is also used to create relaxing and panoramic spots where you can sit on a sofa, have a chocolate and chat.

Walls are intended to be handcrafted by local people, choosing different textures and different densities, so rooms can be private, semi-private or see-through isolated.

The structure is made by reticular axis, one linked to the other, made in wood and steel for the wires.

I used traditional straw for the roof, combined to a stronger package made in wood and waterproof isolation, because plans and elevations aren’t geometrically pure, and the big roof pavillions too big for modern or strong materials. Structural basements are in reinforced concrete.
