Design Performance Objective |
Site Analysis - A Form Generator
The area of the site is a very unique one at the city scale. This is a triangle shaped area where sea, land and mountain meet (maybe the only place in the whole country). The triangle has a well developed waterfront promenade and a beautiful scaled tree avenue on two sides. The third side is adjacent to a neglected area caused by the presence of a railway. The project looks for developing this third side in order to complete the full cycle of the neighborhood, connecting with the promenade and the green avenue.
The proposed project creates by the opaque Trombe Wall an acoustical barrier to the existing neighborhood and the project itself facing its long façade towards the railway which is in the south orientation. As a result the main solar system proposed for this south façade is a trombe wall that allows heat gains in winter and is neutralized in summer. The cross ventilation is achieved through the same Trombe Wall that is opened only at the top to and through wind chimneys.
