3RD PRIZE
SM48134 Roman Joliy + Alice Cecchini (ITALY)
Jury Remarks:
The project solves the proposed program in a sensitive, respectful manner and with minimal visual impact. The program spaces fit between the ruins in an intelligent way. The tours through the complex offer an exciting sequence of spaces where the dialogue between the new and the existing can be appreciated.
This proposal establishes a tension between enclosure and revelation. This tension manifests in a play of proximity of the intervention within the ruined fabric of the monastery. It is further tuned through mass, and light. A marvellous, episodic proposition - which creates a strong narrative encounter with the site. Architecture - in its highest form - allows us to see ourselves encountering the world, and each other. This proposition speaks of solitude, loss, searching and love.
The project, through the introduction of new volumes, completes the forms of the ruins in a square geometry that aspires to abstraction, perfection and encounters with the spiritual. The circulation proposed is surprising owing to the alternation of open and closed spaces, of lights and shadows.
Congratulations!
