PERUGIA, 2016

The Onaosi college is for the urban context a particularly important element. The design concept proposed arises from these bases and, conscious of the contemporary requirements, it proposes a partial review of the overall banner of "dialogue." This sense of openness to the surrounding landscape, measured by the current volumetric shape, is re-interpreted through one of the significant elements of the local urban historic fabric, or the open green courtyard on the landscape. The intention is to define a symbolic spatiality for the new College, a spatiality able to collect itself and send some important values, such as hospitality, the custody of thought and therefore the person, the culture of the green, and more generally the respect for nature and "the other". The new court is the real new space added to the consolidated urban environment and all volumes, is recovered and new, are built around this by establishing with it a very open relationship and varied systems.
