INSIDE OUT

Winery

Emilia Romagna, Italy

The refinement design of cantine Romangnoli plays with the idea of augmentation of reinterpreted local patterns; a progressive scenario that involves the surrounding wineries in the region.
The easy assembly and both formal and seasonal flexibility of the Cabin/installation prototype supports the spread of the pattern through the region among other wineries to create a sense of unity and support.
New landscaping strategies turn their existing collaboration which was limited to supply of labels and bottles, to a cooperation. Creating a regional network through multiplication of design components serving as info points (Cabins) and landscape elements (Installations).

ZIG ZAG

Concer center

Piacenza, Italy

An architectural design proposal of a concert center to serve as the gateway to Piacenza. a cross connection merging the mini island with the two sides of the city. A compliment to the existing railway line and the highway. This project serves a strong social interaction center for the people of the city, region and country.
The Zig Zag form integrates with the nature of the site which is dense to reduce the impact on the environment. The roof of the building is a green and accessible area that works well with nature.
