Mario Cucinella Architects

The project is located in the immediate vicinity of the historic center, in an area well connected with the rest of the urban and strategic context, with a playful and sporty appearance thanks to the presence of an important planted area.

The intervention consists of two cylindrical buildings that are inspired by the typical forms of the country’s rural landscapes, such as silos or hay bales. The intent is to give residents a building not “imposed from above”, a stranger to the area, but a building that stems from traditions of the place, its distinctive features – recognizable and close to the people.

Each cylinder will have distinct functions. The larger building has a large hall of 250 square meters with an extremely flexible structure, which will be used for conferences, theater performances, exhibitions and light sports activities (aerobics, yoga, gymnastics for the elderly, etc.). Total capacity is 220 seats, divided between the hall and the upper galleries. Completing the structure are a foyer and service areas.
The smaller cylinder is used for educational activities and promotion of the wine and gastronomic specialties of the area.

The construction technique combines steel and wood. The circular walls are fully glazed in order to optimize natural lighting and visual permeability. A steel screen shields the windows from the sun to optimize indoor radiation and passive heating. A system of photovoltaic panels covering the roof of the larger cylinder guarantees the production of electricity for use in both buildings.

L’intervento si colloca nelle immediate vicinanze del centro storico, in una zona ben collegata con il resto del contesto urbano e strategica sotto l’aspetto ludico e sportivo, grazie alla presenza di un’importante area con impianti.

L’intervento vede la realizzazione di due edifici cilindrici che si ispirano alle forme tipiche delle terre rurali del luogo, come i silos o le balle di fieno. L’intento è donare ai cittadini non un edificio “calato dall’alto”, estraneo al territorio, ma una costruzione che nasce dalle tradizioni del luogo, dai suoi elementi distintivi – riconoscibile e vicina alla popolazione.

Ogni cilindro ospiterà funzioni distinte. L’edificio di dimensioni maggiori ha una grande sala di 250 mq dalla struttura estremamente flessibile, che sarà utilizzata per conferenze, spettacoli teatrali, esposizioni, fino ad attività sportive leggere (corsi di aerobica, yoga, ginnastica per anziani, ecc). La capienza totale raggiunge i 220 posti, ripartiti fra platea e ballatoio. Completano l’edificio il foyer e gli spazi di servizio.
Il cilindro più piccolo è adibito ad attività didattiche e di promozione delle specialità enologiche e gastronomiche del territorio.

La tecnica costruttiva è mista in acciaio e legno. Le pareti circolari sono interamente vetrate per ottimizzare l’illuminazione naturale e la permeabilità visiva. Una schermatura in acciaio protegge le vetrate dal sole, per ottimizzare l’irraggiamento e il riscaldamento passivo interno. Un sistema di pannelli fotovoltaici sulla copertura del cilindro maggiore garantisce la produzione elettrica per la gestione di entrambi gli edifici.
