Collider Activity Center Competition - Sofia 2013

together with Enrico Falchetti, Giacomo Lepri Berluti and Studio Ciarloni-Paolinelli Engineering








It is about a competion for an activity building of around 8000m2, mainly for climbing.
A big volume with gently inclined facades, an internal layout that will emphasize the overlook from one area
to another and the large use of double volume spaces will give the Collider Center users an Adventurous and risky feeling which we believe perfectly fits Walltopia philosophy. 
The Graphics on the facade Fabric will define a Unique building with a distinctive and energic nature...

Bates entry for an international competition about the development of a former industrial complex  in the Zagreb city center called “Badel block”.
The projects goes trough the program of 65000m2 based on the following considerations:
Fill the empty space with a strikingly new mega-object with a unique canyon shape. Taylor the new object to precisely  fit in the existing urban tissue.
Treat the outside and the inside differently / respect street fronts while creating a unique green inner void.
Inhabit the new object - endow it  with a meddle of functions: public spaces, some retail , many flats, some  offices and a city hotel that will also make it economically feasible and sustainable. Mark it by placing a tower – such a huge new thing deserves its landmark in the city silhouette.
Green it up –hide all cars underground and  fill in the void and surrounding terraces with dense  vegetation. Preserve and expose the old industrial buildings : the distillery becomes a stand-alone object, the south-eastern façade of Gorica Factory becomes the main gate to the new development.
