Commissioner “Pia Olmo”
The modernization of the health care facility, used as a Residence for the Elderly, works on both architecture and plant engineering.In fact, the intervention balances the preservation of the external envelope and the technological renovation of the interior. Within the outline of the old building, modernly functional spaces are thus derived.
Elementary School
The new school building stands in an area specially dedicated by the municipality for public educational institutions. Single-pitch sloping roofs denote a free, exuberant architectural line. Classrooms, executive offices, laboratories and a gymnasium punctuate the facility. The buildings are separate from each other but face a single courtyard with embedded green spaces.
Corberi Hospital
The entire renovation of the hospital is discharged in two batches.The intervention adopts solutions and materials consistent with those already in place. These choices safeguard the architectural consistency of the building on the outside, while on the inside it is completely modernized for the best efficiency of hospital service.
Cascina Cortazza
In the ancient heart of the town center, Cascina Cortazza stands near the parish church. The building’s location inspires a careful renovation that would modernize the site while preserving its constructional stylistic features: the double pitch, the small, sometimes haphazard openings, and the continuous overhanging balcony. The architecture of rural traditions marries the Cascina’s housing […]
Public housing, year 1955
The ground floor is for garages while the raised ones house apartments. Vertical, continuous windows mark the fronts of the readily modern building, which adopts all the architectural solutions of the period.The housing units are elevated above street level: this arrangement balances the privacy of the apartments with exposure to the public street and access […]
Middle School, year 1970-1971
The design of the new school building includes a stone basement and a projecting second floor in plaster. The architecture adopts a careful study of solar radiation so that the large windows dose the light appropriately. The projecting body shadows the ground-floor openings and receives equal protection from the roof pitch and the sunburst pilasters […]
Market Square
The intervention opens up the new square, where the weekly market takes place, within an already established urban fabric. The gathering space is furnished with low-visual-impact architecture: benches, low walls, bollards, and paths that facilitate people to meet and stop.The rearrangement of public greenery emphasizes the simple but effective geometry of the design.
RSA – Geriatric Rehabilitation Pole
Social welfare facility for the elderly with a capacity of 120 beds, apt to provide housing and related services (kitchen, rehabilitation gymnasium, worship area, assisted bathing and recreational activities) for totally or partially self-sufficient elderly and/or those with alzheimer’s syndrome.The building is divided into five distinct interconnected cores.The building, structured on four above-ground floors in […]
Magistrate’s Court, year 1959
Then-Senate President Cesare Merzagora inaugurated the building on June 28, 1969, remarking on its civic utility.The former post office is now converted to municipal offices but still retains an austere architecture, measured against its original purpose: a line of severity broken only by the entrance front, where the curved wall softens the structure, distinguished at […]
Comprehensive Institute
The expansion of the school building continues the style of the existing one, but declines it in the planned structural improvements: the functional equipment of the institute is enriched and its entrances are also redefined. The openings vary in size according to the internal use; however, they maintain the same projecting frame, assigning architectural coherence […]
