Valle di Blenio, Switzerland, 2019
Scheme design
The place: beautiful nature, mountains, river, greenery, sun, therefore it is important to build without altering the site. Architecture should become a completion of the landscape.
Buildings built with total respect for the environment, people and the territorial and human context in which they are inserted, perfectly integrating with the surrounding nature
The concept of zoning: groups of buildings that take the same scale as the existing architecture. The buildings recreate village situations, squares, playgrounds, green spaces. Each group has its own identity. The fact of not blocking is important for visual permeability
The scope is a low environmental impact structure:
. in the choice of materials: the materials used in the construction of a sustainable building must be as natural as possible, recycled and recyclable, such as wood and ceramic tiles for floors. Decomposable and adaptable buildings, with elements and materials that can be easily recovered, reused (the demolition of reinforced concrete itself requires an immense expenditure of energy).
. in energy efficiency: to make the least amount of loss of energy as possible. good insulation.
. in the conscious use of natural resources: this concept can be expressed, trivially, in the positioning of the building in such a way as to obtain as much natural lighting and ventilation as possible, but also to collect other resources effectively and efficiently, such as energy geothermal for heating (buildings connected to district heating)
It is a mainly pedestrian village: underground parking spaces.
The commercial area builds the core and the connection between the residential area and the hotel area. It is also the meeting and reference point of the whole complex
