For the municipality of Kaltern, South Tyrol, we are designing a new facility dedicated to housing assistance for the elderly. The building, based on an inclusive and relational approach, will expand and enhance services for the elderly. The work involves the extension and renovation of the existing ‘Heinrich von Rottenburg Retirement Home Foundation’. The new construction, built to ‘ClimateHouseA’ standards, will be a contemporary building in strong connection with nature and the surrounding landscape. A harmonious volume, pure and essential, aimed at tranquillity and a sense of welcome. The existing structure will also be restructured in some of its parts, favouring access between old and new. The result of a major research process, the newly built residence will fit into the existing context while maintaining a clear identity. A work in itself capable, at the same time, of harmonising with the existing architecture. A valuable project designed for the well-being of residents, staff and visitors.

A new adventure begins for our studio at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano. It is the design of the new Lot B6, overlooking Buozzi Street. The building will be an integral part of the expansion of the technology park and will house various stakeholders such as the EcoCenter and the ITEC partnership. B6 will be a mixed-use building that will consist of office space, research laboratories and open spaces belonging to UniBZ. In detail, the EcoCenter spaces will feature a ‘unique’ laboratory dedicated to water and waste analysis. While for the ITEC partnership, the reference spaces will relate to the PNRR South-Tyrol project ‘water-energy-environment innovation infrastructure’ for climate change and fair energy transition in the digital era. The planned infrastructure area will be divided as follows: Sensors and Robotics Unit; Energy conversion, storage and use Unit; Field Monitoring Mobile Unit; Digital Computation and Foresight Unit; Innovation Gararge (open space).

A new space for research, collaboration and innovation!

We have entered the shortlist with the project Headquarters ASM Meran! This year we will participate in The Plan Award with an adaptive reuse project realised on the outskirts of Merano, a stone’s throw from the historic Hippodrome. The new ASM headquarters, a building oriented towards inclusiveness and well-being in the workplace, is competing in the category Renovation/Completed. At this stage, you can help us win the Community Wish List Special Prize by casting your vote.

The building transforms the space of a former warehouse into an open and flexible office. A place of work and interrelation that – also in the light of the new post-pandemic needs – abandons the classic open space concept by redesigning the space in an inclusive and modular way.

This evening, 28 March, we will be guests of the ALTER ASCHLACHTHOF Restaurant in Brixen/Bressanone as ‘chefs’ to try our hand at composing a special dish. We have entitled it “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”. The reason for this title has a lot to do with one of the most common challenges in the world of architecture: to realise a well-made project with the ingredients – sometimes few, sometimes poor, sometimes difficult – that you are given. The event, organised by TOWANT, will see us in the company of other architecture firms and some interesting companies such as Ceramica Sant’Agostino, Flos, Moroso, Mottura, Signature, Tubes, and Wall&decò.

JuKuRIKU is a finalist for the South Tyrol Architecture Prize in the Public category. When we nominated the project, the category chosen by our studio was not the one for which we became a finalist. We tell you why. When we nominated the JuKuRIKU project for the 10th edition of the South Tyrol Architecture Prize, the category chosen by our studio was not the one for which we became finalists. We had imagined that the project would be part of the ‘Interior’ category because our intervention focused mainly on that aspect. We had endeavoured to redefine the interior spaces of the former fire brigade headquarters, later the Rifiano municipal warehouse, transforming them into a cultural centre dedicated to young people. A special centre, with a raw, building soul, in which local boys and girls could express their identity. The jury of this tenth edition grasped something further in JuKuRIKU, moving the work from the Interior to the Public. Thus we were confronted with projects as diverse as the Civic Library in Brixen – winner of the award -, the Music School in Brixen, the Intercable Arena in Bruneck, the Kindergarten in Rifiano and the service building for the sports centre in Toggenburg, among many others. The motivations expressed by Sandra Bartoli, Peter Riepl and Clemens Waldhart, together with the level of the public-related projects, are awards of which we are particularly proud. JuKuRIKU is a project with a strong public connotation “…conceived as a small city, the spaces articulated in such a way as to be able to host different activities, the raw materials used and the essential character of the environments give young people a place to make their own”. Now the jury has the floor.

“Public – What is striking is the constantly cultivated relationship with public housing, which seems to be based on a solid competition culture. The realisations are also accurate and consistent, generally complete right down to the furnishings and graphics. There seems to be no systematic, counterproductive economising to the bone, which is gratifying as it testifies to an idea of long-term sustainability and responsible use of public resources. With intelligent planning, public funds can do more than just serve their intended purpose”.

We are finalists for THE PLAN Award 2022 with the D2 project at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano. The award ceremony will take place on 17 November at the Riccardo Catella Foundation in Milan. The project for the new D2 building at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano has been selected as a finalist project for the international THE PLAN Award. The award event will also be streamed. There are 20 thematic categories for THE PLAN Award. Each category is in turn divided into two sections. Completed, reserved for completed works, and Future, for those soon to be built. The D2 building at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano is in the Mixed Use – Future category.

The Jury
The choice of the winning and commended projects will be decided by THE PLAN Award jury, consisting of professionals and academics from the world of architecture and design: Yehuda Safran (School of Architecture of Pratt Institute), Huang Wenjing (Tsinghua University), Michael Webb, autore di 25 libri sull’architettura e il design, Li Xiangning (College Architecture and Urban Planning of Tongji University), Patricia Santos Pedrosa (Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies), Valerio Paolo Mosco, architetto e critico di architettura, Elena Tomasi (Fpmc – Fine Properties Monte Carlo), Raymund Ryan (Heinz Architectural Center of Carnegie Museum of Art), Diane Gray (La(H)B, Roca Gallery).

Architect Roberto Busselli, partner of the firm, will speak on Tuesday 12 October at the online event organised by Fraunhofer Italia. The speech will focus on the regeneration of the new ASM Headquarters from a BIM perspective. Fraunhofer asked the designers-speakers, live at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano, the question: “How was BIM used to meet the client’s objectives?”. The event aims to inform planners and companies about BIM experiences conducted and ongoing in South Tyrol, promoted by public administrations. Tuesday 12 October live from 16:00.
