Preliminary, definitive design of a new science campus in Trento

Design have been oriented to create a complex in harmony with the contest by means of a great permeability and maintaining a high symbolic and representative value. We chose a court typology with a horizontal tendency and a limit for the high of the building. The solution models the entire volumetric aspect and diversify facades depending on the contest on which they expose, by means of a modulation of the facade on the street and a wise dialogue with the public space. Adequate architectural and technological choices mediate the material impact: facades are stone covered and connect the new building with the contest. The two blocks characterized by curtain wall allow the view of system elements and make explicit the scientific-technological activity inside the buildings.
