2010 Architecture Projects

The building is conceived as a ramp that links all the library levels and which is endowed through its dimensioning with functions, becoming thus the main space of the library.

The concept of intervention in the urban space is based on a reorganization that keeps track of the character of the existing areas, in relation with the optimal functions that it can meet.The areas of the grid become different supports for the activities of the community, and the existing green areas are kept and integrated in the new configuration.

The main concept of remodeling the urban space is looking to reestablish equilibrium between the inhabitants of the area and the automobile circulation on site. The primary objective is that the population regains its rights to use the surrounding urban space and to reconfigure it in order to allow the people to have a maximized accessibility and use upon it.

The project aims the requalification of an urban area and of some free spaces from the social housing complex comprised in the area Tiburtino III in Rome.

The concept was to generate through the envelope an urban scale landmark that is not only a visual sign, but a real urban mark that has enough force for gathering public. The design has a special symbolic power by the indirect use of the old symbol of the Piraeus harbor – the lion (the statue that is currently in Venice).
