Design competition. On a hilly site on the north side of the urban environment, an old rural building immersed in a city park and its immediate open areas are the existing elements of this design competition. The program asked to provide leisure and educational spaces for the public community by renovating the old building and by respectfully extending the new construction into the protected natural environment. The tactics of the adopted solution relied in creating a beacon type of intervention casted over the partially ruined old building and by creating the new required spaces with the least invasive gesture. The old rehabilitated and enlarged structure houses a lobby with bar and offices on the first floor while the upper floors are reserved for conferences and meetings. The new structure houses educational science labs and classrooms to be used by the scholastic body of the city of Bergamo. Its minimal facade sits at the edges of the natural path connecting to the old building and mechanically opens to allow maximum permeability with the environment when the season allows it. The perpendicular connection with the natural area is maintained along this semi-interred new building by four stairs at the points of egress of the structure.
