ECO-SUSTAINABILITY AND CONFORT OF WORKERS, THROUGH THE USE OF NATURAL LIGHT AND THE INSERTION OF A GREEN GALLERY INSIDE A FACTORY. The goal of the project for the new Raicam Driveline factory in Mondovì was to create a comfortable, non-alienating environment for the factory's workers and employees. To achieve this goal, a green space was introduced, with translucent roofing, inside the work spaces, and a careful study of the use of natural light to illuminate the interior spaces.

Almost 70 kilometers west of London, Reading is a city with a population of more than 300 thousand people, which keeps growing each year.

The Garden City conceptualizes the use of open areas as gardens with vertically-stacked residential units with greenery hanging vertically through architectural elements. The idea is to return the area occupied by the residential towers in the form of elevated green spaces and pocket green spaces, which creates sightlines and softens edges of the buildings. This allows the development to achieve a high percentage in open or green spaces. The strategic placement of towers between each other allows cross ventilation and promotes passive cooling. Mandarin orchards along the eastern and western wind paths serve as breaks. With varying levels of elevations and open spaces that maximize the vista, the garden city creates a refreshing atmosphere n... Altro

With its three plinth floors and five upper storeys the courthouse is the focus of the site. The three floors in the plinth serve as a “distributor” with a three-storey hall and an impressive entrance area. Together with the site boundary they establish a building line that defines the adjoining street space on Feldkirchner Strasse. The cross-section of the area between the courthouse and the elongated office and commercial building allows an arcade-type situation to develop that connects the forecourt to the north with the planted area to the south of the building. Whereas the square to the north of the court building is intended as a car-park for the supermarket and serves as a buffer zone to Feldkirchner Strasse for the office area... Altro
