INTRODUCTION
L 'ESU (Regional Agency for the Right to Education) has launched a con-course of ideas for the construction of a new university residence in Marghera, Venice, Viale Fratelli Bandiera No. 74, requiring designers capable proposals to reconcile the quality architectural and sustainability, understood as the pursuit of efficiency energy performance through the application of the principles of bio-building-aunt.
STATE OF
The area of \u200b\u200bthe competition, with a trapezoidal shape, size 1210 square meters and is included in Garden City, the neighborhood has grown since the '20s-'30s, parallel lel to the large commercial and industrial port of Marghera, Milan, designed by the engineer Pietro Emilio Emmer The area that is currently occupied by a building used as a residence univer-sity: it consists of two L-arms placed, constructed between 1956 and 1965, containing 67 beds and related services, for a total area of \u200b\u200b2692 square meters and a volume of 5202 mc.L 'organizing body, in accordance with with applicable law, has left designers the choice between the demolition and subsequent new construction and renovation, with expansion of the existing complex.
GUIDELINES
The lot is located along the Viale Fratelli Bandiera, a board will-ary sliding fast, very noisy, which marks the boundary between the Garden City (west) and the large area industrial area of \u200b\u200bPorto Marghera (east). These due parti di città presentano tessuti eterogenei e densità del costruito molto diverse, in particolare per ciò che concerne il rapporto pieno/vuoto: la prima è caratterizzata dalla presenza di grandi isolati occupati da padiglioni industriali, in cui l’area inedificata quasi non esiste o è comunque ridotta a semplice spazio di risulta; la seconda è invece costituita da isolati di dimensione minore, con preva­lenza di edifici residenziali di altezza contenuta, disposti per lo più nella parte centrale dei lotti e circondati da aree verdi private. La parcella, pur essendo parte della Città Giardino, guarda verso l’area indus­triale; l’edificio sorgerà quindi su un limite e dovrà establish a relationship with the context twofold. For this reason we chose to "protect" the interior of the lot from the road and retaining more of free space in the center, more private, on which to open the building. Besides these factors, other considerations have intervened during the discussion of design: the request of the auctioneer to get the most nu-ber of beds and the possible choice by the designers of the exhibition more advantageous for the rooms.
GEN BUILDING
The result of the above considerations is of great programmatic clarity: a long building line where the rooms, kitchens and collegamenti.Alla way of facing the industrial halls, the building stood on the road with a smooth face that is a visual and physical barrier which allows a glimpse of little or nothing ' procedure. The other sides of the lot, like a thick wall surrounding the building bends to the shape and size and defining an open central space by the construction, a court. The relation-one full / empty that results is therefore a synthesis of the two described above, the central court becomes the true heart of a building deliberately "introvert." The middle floors of the corridor width varies between 1.2 m, the minimum size for a proper functioning, and 1.80 m, which allows the inclusion of items of furniture such as armchairs and poufs. In the less deep, the facade is set back so as to create small lodges (2.40 m long and 0.60 m deep) on the outside and inside of the niches for reading or relaxing. In accordance with the Law of 9 April 1994, the building has two stairwells of protected, open on one and two sides respectively. The minimum width of escape routes and that the flights of stairs is 1.20 m. The supporting structures and separating those values \u200b\u200bwill fire resistance equal to R60 and attection REI 60. On the ground floor and third floor, the larghezza del connettivo resta fissa a 1,20 m. Nel primo caso questa scelta è dovuta alla prossimità della corte e alla possibilità di accedervi direttamente dal corridoio, che quindi non necessita la creazione di altri punti di incontro e di sosta; nel secondo alla volontà di dotare l’edificio di un loggiato continuo di coronamento.
SPAZI PRIVATI E SPAZI DI SOCIALITA’
Camere.
Questa configurazione consente di ottenere delle camere esposte a sud/est/ovest che beneficiano di una grande quantità di luce naturale.Lungo le facciate delle camere, delle logge continue creano uno spazio filtro semi-privato che assicura il thermal comfort and privacy they need.
connective layout and sizing.
To increase the carrying capacity, in line with the guidelines of the competition, common areas Terrra present plan of the existing complex have not been replicated in the new project, but given the nature of the building, it was considered nevertheless necessary to provide places to meet and condivisione.Per this reason you chose to configure and size the corridors of dis-tribution so that they, in the manner of the balconies of old tenements, would not only connect but also space for socializing. To achieve this goal, they were placed on the inside of the building facing directly onto the court and which are the ideal continuation of the building. The central space thus assumes a crucial role, not only in composition, but also functional, becoming the center of social life in the small community that lives in the university residence.
treatment of facades.
The facades of the building are treated in different ways. Those "outside", ie the east, and the road south and west to the Garden City are covered by a screen which is a homogeneous real second front, anchored to the first through a special structure of external support. This screen is made of panels of perforated metal plate mounted on a folding frame and is directly accessible from every room through the lodges. In this way the front of the rooms may be entirely glass, which allows entry of natural light, while the 'shade and privacy protection are ensured by the metal panels whose opening and closing can be adjusted by the individual facades utente.Le on the court, however, are fully glazed and opening to allow complete visual communication between the various parts of the building and between them and the court. On the ground floor, to get the necessary privacy to the rooms is provided behind the glass a "fringe", a shield made of rubber elements, linear and vertical mobili.Le facades of the building, therefore, are not uniquely defined once and for all designers but change throughout the day, following the rhythm of activities and choices of population. They will continually change the look by opening or closing the solar screens on the outside, enlivening the corridors and staging points for the presence of fringe or moving items on the ground floor on the court.
ENTRANCE LOBBY AND GROUND FLOOR
In view of introversion of the project and enhancement of the central space is also part of the decision to place the body in the west entrance, inner, and not in the body east, on the road. To access the building, therefore, it must be along a promenade that borders the court: it is so animated by the passage of visitors and ospiti.Il volume that houses the entrance hall is the only thing that stops earità of lin- 'building: the front facing the court, in fact, is rotated with respect to the ground floor facade of the upper floors, so that the building is more profound in this punto.L' exceptional nature of this relation otherwise a very rigorous system makes it instantly recognizable as the only public part of the residence, designed to accommodate different service areas (bathrooms, changing rooms for staff-, deposits) as well as the reception. It is also largely transparent to allow visual continuity of a relationship between the court and the greenery of the Garden City.
units' housing
The unit consists of a standard single room and a twin bedroom, each with separate dressing room, plus a bathroom condivisione.Le rooms have a single bed (90 cm X 200 cm), wardrobe (60 cm X 120 cm) and a desk (80 cm X 120 cm) for each occupante.Il bathroom is equipped with toilet, bidet and shower. The bathrooms, kitchens and air shafts are related incolonnati.I partitions that separate the rooms from the corridors and kitchens have fire resistance not less than 30 REI. The doors of the rooms have character-istics of the fire resistance of not less than 30 RE with self-closing device. All other materials will have values \u200b\u200bof fire resistance required by law. "
The overall floor area of \u200b\u200b32.30 square meters, of which 11.90 square meters for the single, 15.10 sq m for a double, to 5.30 and bathroom.
