“A succession of buildings, as a stratified sequence of volumes – each one having an urban, functional and landscape role – each one in direct dialog with a part of the area and its ensemble.” AF
The program of the project and the area, sloping, suggested us to think the building as a succession of buildings, as a stratified sequence of volumes – each one having an urban, functional and landscape role – each one in direct dialog with a part of the area and its ensemble.
The landscape is a founding action of the system and passes the baton of its different natures: square, garden, walkway, patio, terraces…
The buildings accompany the landscape with an always different mode in order to enter in contact: porch, pergola, courtyard, rooftop…

The project creates a landscape in the landscape but also a continuous visible perception, linked to the teritory. The volumes are opened and thought as elements in direct contact with the exterior: the porch, the glass facade of the boardroom, the opened vault of the city hall offices. Each person will live the interior and the exterior in a contemporary way, with a direct access to light and matter.
