Kortrijk, Belgium
projectWinner of the international competition organized by Vlaams Bouwmeester and Leiedal (Open Call) for the construction of a low-tech office building in Kortrijk, Belgium, the project represents our approach to a holistic and low-tech design and works on the essence construction and minimum plant equipment, obtaining maximum living comfort. The project criticizes sustainable design that aims to add super-performing glass facades, green-washing or photovoltaic panels on the roof to the building, often hiding the lack of quality of the design itself. With its thick inhabited walls, the new office building for Leiedal is a building for the next 200 years: inhabited by people and plants, it becomes a metaphor of the search for a new equilibrium to inhabit the planet. https://www.leiedal.be/nieuws/leiedal-timmert-aan-slimme-verdichting-met-nieuw-kantoorgebouw
As Italian architects, we are used to looking at our cities as 'urban interiors'. We exported this simple and beautiful concept to Moscow and, by studying the evolution of the housing tipology of the city of Moscow, with our Russian friends of Citizenstudio, we have combined the materiality and plasticity of the facades with the design of the public space. The project almost magically creates a grid of colors and materiality that determines the new identity for the citizens of Metrogorodok with the ambition that they can recognize it and call it home
