W12 : Luca Montuori & Riccardo Petrachi, Architects | 2Tr Architettura, Italy
THEME: D WORKSHOP FULLY BOOKED

Luca Montuori and Riccardo Petrachi established 2tr architettura in 2000 as the evolution of a shared experience based on the theme that the project faces, as well as how to approach the project itself. The strong question of defining the theme of their work, is always against the need to declare their position in comparison of their research. The core of their research is not based on "already done" way, but rather on the sharing of different points of view on the project, to better identify possible, different and alternative ways. The projects focus on outdoor space as a set of relationships, complex system, and from which comes the awareness of not being able to act only on the physical space but on a mix of weight, finances, dimensions, opinions, uses and feelings. www.2tr.it

The workshop will be held in collaboration with Promo_legno Association for the promotion of timber in Italy. www.promolegno.com

Workshop brief: The workshop will be dealing with a center for immigrant housing and training. The project is a real project involving Regione Lazio (most probably also Provincia di Roma) and Casa Africa organization. The project will involve the renovation of an existing building to become a center / 'shelter' for immigrants. The center will include temporary housing and a center for training. The budget for the project is estimated at 400,000 euro. The challenge is to: (a) Suggest an abandoned building that can become that shelter. (b) Be able to propose a design solution within a very limited budget - by utilizing reclaimed / re-used resources and materials and perhaps inviting volunteers and donors to help in-kind. (c) Very likely to have the opportunity to continue working on the project after ECOWEEK (not yet guaranteed). download
