Outdoor e Indoor: abitare il comfort. Strategie di riqualificazione del quartiere Pilastro a Bologna

Year: 2015

Author: Antonello Di Nunzio, Gresë Ramosaj

The case study which is analyzed in the thesis is the residential neighborhood called Pilastro. It was built between 1962 and 1985 in Bologna, Italy and is located in the North – East of the city, inside the San Donato district. The thesis consists of series of detailed analysis carried out, in order to obtain design solutions based on the issues encountered in the oldest part of the neighbourhood, called “Primo Impianto”. The most critical issues analysed throughout this research are:

• The Urban Canyon Phenomena, due to the relationship between the urban morphology and microclimate;
• Limited use of the outdoor spaces, due to their inadequacy, characterised by low condition of outdoor thermal comfort, especially during the summer period.
• Problems regarding the mobility and street landscape;
• Low energy performance related to the age of the buildings;
• Low levels of indoor comfort inside the building environment.

This design is composed by white cubes of the same size that they are almost anonymous outside but full of complexity inside. Every cube is a function of this complex organism.
White cubes are connected by a transparent big corridor like it is a road in a small village.
It is inspired by architectures of japanese architects like Tadao Ando and Sou Fujimoto.
