ARIANO IRPINO
AGRI-FOOD LEARNING CENTER
Launched in 2017, this competition invited to propose designs that could envision a new type of school while regenerating the city’s urban quality, sorely strained by the repeated seismic events during the twentieth century.
In this context, our proposal aimed to perform as a new urban platform at the intersection point between the steep topographic landscape of Ariano Irpino and the dense building fabric of its historic center. To do this, the new building was organized in a sectional scheme that reconstructed the morphologic continuity of the city while creating an expansive multi-sided courtyard, purposed to bring the school and the community in visual, functional, and symbolic interaction.
