3nd Year StudioType: Commercial hotel & restaurantLocation: Piancavallo, ItalyJuly 2013

Our project is on the ski resort - Piancavallo, Italy. As commisioned by the local gonvernors, our main goal is to make Piancavallo a more fascinating place to come. In achieving such a goal, we redesign the restaurant and propose to design a hotel next to the ski lift on the middle of the mountain, which will attract visitors to spend more time on the mountain enjoying the natutral scence closely. We conceive a ski trackdirectly connect to the hotel and a track extended from the hotel, which give the visitors an unique experience on their vacation. Benifited from the lower southern slope, people can enjoy a spectacular panarama view from the southern part.

INTO THE MOUNTAIN - Village Hotel for skiing

Where we are

Our sitePiancavallo town

Considering about the mountain, we face the problem of transportion of the constraction materials and the extreme weather condition. And then we want to give a feeling of growing out of the mountaion to our design

Because in winter, there is a lot of snow in our site, we need to maximize the adventages of the snow,and minimize the positive effect of the too heavy snow.

The very massive heavy wall consist of the stones which are quarried near the building site

For the roof, it is made of stone slates, which are also quarried from the local area.And it has a quite steep slope in order to make sure the heavy snow will slide down.

Considering about the skiing people, we are trying to minimize the inconvenience of the equipments, like their special shoses and ski, when they have just finished skiing and are going to the hotel.

In our site, fortunately, we have a wonderful view, which is looking towards Venice and the Adriatic Sea.So in our design we shouldn't block the view, however, we should maximize its value.

View Analysis

The site naturally has a wonder panorama view on the south.

We put our design b e l o w t h e p l at fo r m to m ax i m i ze t h i s p o s i t i ve aspect.

The site is at an important area where many ski tracks intersect and connect with each other. The primary method to reach the site is using the ski lift on the east. Besides, the site also can be reached from the higher ski track. What is more, in summer time, mountaineers can acess the site by foot.

Unit generation process

a.The Unit design begins with a simple box

b. Then pull down a point to let snow fall

c. In order to enlarge the slope angle while retaining the same height of the unit, the form line recesses

d. pull up the back accordinglly to fill the landform

Flow analysis of Unit A

Flow analysis of Unit B

We concive two types of units- Unit A for two persons and Unit B for 4 persons.

Each unit is generated according to the landform and fits well into the mountain.

The unit is designed to be as compact as possible in order to face the extreme weather in winter.

Ski lift control room

Generation Process of Restaurant

Function of the restaurant

1. Considering the spread charateristic of the original design, we begin the redesign process with a cube. All the functions are included in this cube

2. Considering the long span of the construction, we conceive 2 snow collect spots by cuting out 2 pieces from the cube

4. In order to strengthen the relationship between the restaurant and the platform and make the entrance protected from snow, we cut the remaining part.

3. Then, in order to aquire a steep roof (slope angle larger than 30 degree), we pull up and pull down the edges of the cube accordingly

In our project, the restaurant is one of the most crucial part of our design. Because it is connection point to the hotel as well as the platform.Base on the former design, we make the building more integrated.

Function Analysis

We seperate the flow of the skiers and the flow of the ordinary guess by adding a ski track between the platform and the hotel. The staff flow is completely seperated with the guess flow, which gives the staff more privacy.

Compared to the original restaurant we make the following differences: 1.Enlarge the staff living area 2. Add more toilets and make it more convenient for the skiiers to go to toilet 3.Enlarge the restaurant space 4.Intergate the control room with the whole building complex 5.Remain the existing basement

INTO THE TOWN - PUBLIC FACILITY CENTRE

The project situates in a small traditional city in Italy. After analysing the urban environment, we make a general urban plan for a particular district of the city and go further into a block for urban design. In this project we go back to design some more simple and traditional figures of the buildings in order to be harmonious to the environment, but more focus on the urban arrangement and public space.

Proposed Via Torino Section

Via Torino, as the main main problem of the current situation, is the key point of our proposition for this district. First of all, we are going to move away the heavy traffic and turn it into a single direction road in dorder to give the priority to the pedestrian, because the Via Torino is the main connection for the public facilities in this district and also the commercial axis of our proposition, which is important to give the conven-ience and better environ-ment to pedestrian

1. Gathering space which invites in the people with a main axis connecting the two sides

5. Passage links were created by substracting mass

6. Buildings were shaped according to the flow tendance and perception of the people. They are orientated to the open space and there is a visual communica-tion between them

3. Organising the different kind of open spaces of the site 7. Addition of roofs, shadings and nets

8. Green area and children playground were identified. A relatively private space was created and by pushing up and down a perception of continuity was attributed to the courtyards

4. Generation of the buildings blocks and of the space defined by them

INTO THE LAKE- VILLA

This project just situates beside a lake, in a very attractive landscape. The main goal is to merge the landscape and building, and to use the value of the wonderful surrounding scenery as much as possible. So we are trying to inspire from the traditional chinese garden which is a prominent example about how to combine the building and landscape.

20

Poetic scenery of the calm and peaceful lake

Chinese landscape painting also has the same beauty of bourn and sentiment of the lake.

Classical Chinese garden , which imitates the landscape in the relative small area, pursues the similar artistic conception of Chinese landscape painting

In traditional chinese building, usually some facades don't typically consist of wall, windows and doors, but is built with a chinese elements, which looks like a combina-tion of door and window and can be rotated independently. Several this kind of elements stand aline to form the wall.
