The building is part of the ex-woollen mill Conte complex. The construction is located close to the historical industrial park of the city along the manmade canal named “Roggia Maestra” which connects to other industrial buildings such as the “Fabbrica Alta”.

Focus of the project is to restore the building keeping improving it as part of the historical complex. The restoration includes shed and sky-light maintenance, strengthening of pillars and beams, making them earthquake proof and designing more functional access to new of-fices spaces.

The Casino Bru-Zane, made by Baldassare Longhena and Antonio Gaspari, is one of the major archi-tectonic example that has signed the last period of the Most Serene Republic of Venice. The Bru-Zane Foundation initiative is to renovate the palazzo’s original function and the cultured entertainment.

The project is oriented to the ren-ovation of the decorative painting, the building normative and func-tional adaptation.

THE FOUNDATIONSThe palazzo presented structural

subsidence of the walls with a con-sequent breakage of architectonical part of the building. In fact several analysis revealed that only the bor-der wall had a foundation system.

The delicate intervention con-sists of to realize new foundations with the same traditional technique of the historical Venetian build-ings: long larch pillars with double floorboard on which put a new brick foundations.

THE DECORATIVE PAINTINGThe renovation of Sebastiano

Ricci’s fresco paintings has been handled by several color chemical analysis and through the cleaning of all the coatings till the original. In some cases this process has led up to the discovery of decorations, hidden by most recent plasters.

THE SLABSThe structural interventions has

been realized with a dry-assembled framework with the purpose to main-tain the static balance of the entire building.

The Functional box made in wood and coloured glass. It countains the kitchen, the wardrobe, the bedroom with two singol beds. It also hides a minimal bathroom.

The introduction of a typical-ly contemporary object inside an eighteenth century building, the Palazzo Mocenigo, becomes a deli-cate intervention in the relationship between modern and historical.

The court in which is located the new lift is a space characterized by columns, balustrades, lug wrench defining a space not marginally.

The purpose, to reduce the inter-ference with the old structure, is re-alized with designing a self-bearing steel structure, dry-assembled in which the various elements of the framework are mounted together thanks to mechanical joints eventu-ally easy to dismantle and remove if necessary.

The cladding in u-glass provides a source of light to the facing room.

RENOVATION, NORMATIVE ADAPTATION OF THE EX MUNICIPAL CENTRE FOR THE NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY | PADUA

2007

Marco Zordan OfficeCharge: co-designer for the final design and working plan.

The ex-municipal centre is an interesting building dating back to the second half of the nineteenth century. The adaptation to the new library function takes part by a care-ful study of the transformation that comes through the years and in particular the most recent one, at-tached to the innermost part of the building, representing a one floor concrete structure. On this part, the project realize a glass metal clad-ding for the library function. The idea is to connect old building and the new structure in a more fluent way. Balconies, ramps, glass and the view from the duplex spaces are all elements of the complex.

The play and toy museum will be an innovative cultural structure and a community centre, which will dis-play a rich collection of toys (more than 30 thousands divided into 100 categories). The museum will offer services and activity related to the children’s world and the recreation-al culture.

The museum will be realized in the royal stable area, reusing three abandoned buildings of the XIX c. and a new underground building structure.

The project recognizes a new cir-culation that till now acrosses the little city depriving it of a public space.

The intervention will be realized in two different phases:

•the first part characterized for the creation of the new Big Square with stone pavement and urban fur-nishings;

•the second part with the reno-vation of the Little Square for the public market and a new street in front of.

Marco Zordan OfficeCharge: co-designer.

The Dueville ex - woolen mill complex controls the historical city centre for its dimension but also for the wide production of wool in the past. Due to this reasons the city passed from a peasant to a indus-trial context.

The project for the old building provides to converts the collapsed part of the roof into courts and open spaces for the school which are required by the functional pro-gram. The big concrete walls, frames courts and classrooms are dimensioned following the struc-tural frame of the old cast iron col-umns. The corridors became con-nection spaces and public areas for the school activities. The structural grid of the old building comes out-side and fits the framework of new buildings and urban spaces.

The project for the new buildings is realized with two constructions. The first one, looking to the his-torical building, defines the border line of the park and the communi-ty gardens. The second one, works like a slab and houses: a car park to an underground level; a square to a 1,50mt level; shops to the first floors; residences.

The competition regards the restoration and reconstruction of a little city where October 31st 2002 takes place a tragic heart quake.

The needs to do memory is trans-lated with an itinerary conceived for the celebration of religious rites, contemplation and meditation. The new memory rout wraps the base-ment of the school where 28 people died simulating an embrace. After-ward, a sequence of metaphorical spaces remembers the victims, as the garden olive threes. The purpose of the project is to rebuild not just the concept of memory but above all a social space equipped with bench-es and fountains but even with all the services needed for a market place.

The project is part of a private plan designed by the Gregotti Inter-national Studio for one of the Laner-ossi area, situated in the historical city centre.

For this area, the private requali-fication plan defines the sub-division 9, where the municipality wants to realize tertiary activities for 10.085 cubic meters. For such a reason the project would like:

• to re-design a public space around where are collocated all the archeological buildings, protago-nists of the industrial textile pro-duction.

• to rehabilitate the artificial ca-nal of the city, technological symbol during the past and essential ele-ment for the looms.

• to suggest a buildings complex where are recuperated the textile activities that all along character-izes the city.

The sponge is a project of façade extremely innovative and strictly connected to the simplest and most primitive of the animals. This façade works as the system sponge does with the purpose of:

•storage and conservation of wa-ter;

•use of recycling water;•high water distribution efficien-

cy;•insulated environment behind the

water wall.Thus, it will be possible to cre-

ate a water-sufficient refuge. The storage of drinking water can result with rain water purification and the removal of noxious agents. The sur-plus of water will be stored within a specific basin for flush water or other secondary uses.

Through the weight of water princi-ples, every case is in communication with the neighbor case thus form-ing a continuous system gathering water when one element is full of.

Asconoid sponges are tubular with a central shaft called the spongo-coel. The beating of Choanocyte flagella forces water into the shaft through pores in the body wall. Cho-anocytes cover the spongocoel and filter nutrients out of the water.

The concept has the purpose of establishing a dialogue with the surrounding and follows the idea of a strip rising from the ground and folding at 200 meters of height and turning on itself to return to the ground.

With such motion and shaping, blank spaces and full spaces are in-evitable.

The outer skin of the building has been designed with the precise ob-jective to follow the concept of the Fold. Therefore, when the structure turns on itself, the full surface will be translated in metal cladding with the purpose to give back the con-cept of continuity. In contrast, the conceptual blank space in between needs to give back the concept of transparency. Because of this rea-son, the choice for this space is a surface completely glazed.

The temporary pavilions has been designed for the screening of short-film for the Cinema Biennale in Venice.

The place is arbitrarily chosen and consists of the spice market of the Venice island. Basically the idea for those structures gets around to the more metaphorical market of the images concept. The short-mov-ies acts as the merchandise and the people moving inside and close to those boxes can choose the prod-ucts not only by looking but also by touching them.

All the materials used are repre-sents the market and the modular-ity of certain metallic structures that suggest the idea of the place and the reutilization of its typical language.
