Vasari

In the second post we started to do some considerations about the area of the project, having a particular look at the impact of the big mountain Kohler on the area of the project.

As we have seen, the situation in Via Aslago in Bolzano is particulary critical especially in winter, since the sun  doesn’t reach the site until 11.20 a.m.

So, let's see how this situation influenced our project's proposal.

OUR PROJECT:

Our project is composed of one big unit, “C” shaped, of 4 or 5 floors, which contains 76 houses of various dimensions.

Avendo presentato nel precedente post l'introduzione all'area di progetto e le prime analisi, si è scelto in questa ultima consegna di analizzare il volume allo stato ultimo, che ci consenta di poter apportare modifiche utili alla definizione finale del progetto.
L'idea di progetto è di creare due spazi principali: uno fruibile al pubblico e l'altro semiprivato. Questi ci hanno permesso di modellare un edificio allineato con le preesistenze circostanti per mantenere una congruenza coerente con il lotto. 

The site project is located in the Southern part of the city of Bolzano, in an area close to the Isarco River named Oltrisarco. The area is near the industrial area and it’s crossed by a highway and a railway. The site is located in Via Aslago and it’s about 7000 square meters. Actually the site consists in 7 residential buildings built during the ’40. IPES, the local authority responsible for social housing residences, planned to demolish those buildings and commissioned 80 new accommodations.

In our previous exercise, we modeled the site where we install our project. We have some question about how drawing specifically the shape of our project because the site is really complex and small so we don’t want to have a dark place with no air and sunlight, Vasari software could be useful for solving that issue with the livability and comfort in the most important moments of the year: solstices and equinoxes.

This exercise is about modeling a tree in an urban context. We choose a tree near from our project site for understand the impact of the vegetation on our future project.

We choose the line of platanus trees, which are the boundary between the space for cars and the tramline.
