Minimal additions to an exclusive two-storey house in Upper Bergamo that dialogues with its challenging architectural history through transparencies, lightness and light, paradigms of boundless quality. Ezio Manciucca Ezio Manciucca The project is about a building dating back to the Late Middle Ages, when it was a monastery. It then was converted into a student residence and, in the seventies, it was sold and divided into apartments.

A renovation of a sigle-family villa located on the slope of a hill that follow the current ideals of living and a certainly contemporary architecture in relation, above all, with the surrounding green area. It is indeed the relationship with the surrounding green that leads the formal and functional choices related to it through constructive techniques, materials, and morphology to create a visual system made of dialogue with nature, not contrast with it. The intention of the renovation is to give back to architecture its role as a component of the landscape, facilitating its inclusion in the green, seen as a compositional space of life and not just as a contour.

Preserving does not mean renouncing human action on the environment but implementing action that is compatible with its natural and historical characteristics," stated Edoardo Milesi. Andrea Ceriani Andrea Ceriani Dealing with the renovation and revitalization of an abandoned historic farmhouse in an untouched environment, just a stone's throw from the city, is not an everyday opportunity. It's a captivating challenge that prompts us to contemplate the future of historic architecture, a topic as relevant and necessary as ever.

The Inhabited Roccolo of Clusone is a perfect contemporary reinterpretation of the "roccolo," a typical construction found in the landscape of the Lombard Alpine and pre-Alpine regions, dating back to the 15th century. Traditionally, these structures were used for bird-catching through gardening techniques. Ezio Manciucca Ezio Manciucca Cristian Carrara Due to geological issues, the project couldn't preserve the existing structure; the new building has been shifted a few meters while maintaining the original spatial layout.

The project involves the development of two residential units that share common service spaces on the ground floor. However, as they freely adapt to the natural countryside terrain, they offer different ways of living. Andrea Ceriani Andrea Ceriani These independent "housing boxes," never stacked to avoid common views, take on innovative architectural forms in their ability to adapt to the site and climate requirements. It is primarily the relationship with the surrounding nature that guides the formal and functional choices. The natural slope of the land strongly influenced the morphological and compositional choices. Andrea Ceriani Andrea Ceriani The building, characterized by modularity designed to harmonize with t...

The bridge vegetation and the perimeter fence in natural stone are designed to be integrated with the landscape at the heart of the valley. The water that passes over the concrete is impoverished, the water passing over the stone is enriched.To be pure, regarding the water as the symbol of purity and production. The plant is redesigned using... More
