3 photo: MIROarchitetti photo: Elisabetta Selva Longarone Parish Church Via Roma Longarone The church was built in memory of the victims of the Vajont The concept is based on a simple idea: to bring life back to that place by exalting the theatre The church is made up of two overlapping amphitheatres: a lower one that is covered, where the main nave is located and an upper, uncovered one that is thought of as a sort of square from which you can observe the Vajont dam Externally the building is made of reinforced concrete white beams; The composition is characterized by the presence of a ramp that leads to the top of the church, in a perfect reminder of the purpose of the Cross of Calvary The square also has an altar so that it is possible to celebrate mass outside as well, but it was designed primarily as a meeting place The hall inside is partly surrounded by a raised tribune and the remains of the oldest church The room is accessible from various points, both from below and from above photo: Elisabetta Selva Giovanni Michelucci Comune di Longarone MIROarchitetti-com 3

4 photo: Dave Brown photo: Dave Brown Canova Plaster Cast Gallery Via Canova Possagno When Antonio Canova died, Monsignor Giovanni Battista Sartori decided either to close the Study in Rome where many masterpieces were created or to move all the plaster casts, the unsold Marbles, the paintings, the Sketches and all what was in the warehouses, to Possagno In order to host all the above mentioned collections, Sartori arranged to build a Gallery, near the artist s native home This allowed the tourists and the scholars to admire all of Canova s works In 1832 Sartori charged the Venetian architect Francesco Lazzari to plan the construction of the "Collection of plaster casts" In 1957 Canova's work found a more adequate placing thanks to a new building constructed by the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa The tall cubic form of his addition admits light through windows in the top four corners of two connecting chambers, creating a luminous environment Unbroken walls without windows in the lower portions receive shadow-silhouettes of the plaster casts photo: Dave Brown 1957 Carlo Scarpa Fondazione Canova MI_MOA The CANOVA PLASTER CAST GALLERY is open every day (except for Mondays) During the summer/winter months: / The box-office shuts a quarter of an hour before each closing time 4

8 photo: Francesco Campagnari photo: Francesco Campagnari Ca di Cozzi Via Cà di Cozzi Verona The last project of Aldo Rossi, located at the border of the city of Verona This project has been based on three main elements: the green open space of the hills, the hierarchy among residences and offices, and finally the reference to, not the copying of, Venetian architecture the two office buildings are reminiscent of the basilica vicentina, a public building par excellence Palladio also referred to a previous design, but it might be that he found great architecture in this difficulty This is where the analogy with the Palladian basilica ends, even though, using the consolidated urban model, the residences are situated around the two office buildings with a minor architecture without rejecting the picturesque The alternation of the red stone and the biancone is the principal characteristic linking the monuments and the urban continuation of Verona in a single vision photo: Francesco Campagnari Project is not public! 1996 Aldo Rossi fcampagnari 8

11 photo: Moreno Maggi photo: Moreno Maggi San Paolo Church Via del Roccolo Foligno The project was won in 2001 after a national competition organized by the Conferenza Episcopale Italiana for the construction of new churches, the jury said the following: "as a sign of innovation that meets the latest international research, becoming a symbol of rebirth for the city after the earthquake" The new parish designed by Fuksas s, is a monolith of pure geometry, absolute, in a tin box There are two main architectural elements that are identified with the functions of the religious center, the first element, the Church building, consists of two rectangles inserted into one another, the second element, also rectangular shape but long and low, is home to the Sacristy, the Pastoral Ministry of Local and Casa Canonica A third an architectural element, smaller, combining the latter two Spirituality and meditation joined together in a play of natural light entering horizontally and vertically, drawing a dialogue with the sky photo: Moreno Maggi Floor area/size m² Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas Conferenza Episcopale Italiana Diocesi di Foligno Massimiliano_Fuksas_ Take Bus #1 from train station, direction "Hospitale" to the end of the line Face the hospital and walk around to the left side The church sits across the field from the Helipad (10min bus ride) 11

12 photo: Tomas Clocchiatti photo: Tomas Clocchiatti Biblioteca Sandro Penna Piazza Valentino Martinelli I Perugia What generally turns people away from libraries is the 'character' of the buildings that contain these spaces, frequently evoking an idea of separation, of exclusivity and often a dusty and melancholic idea of literature By contrast, Italo Rota's Perugian library, which takes the shape of a large disc, presents itself as a foreign object, though a gentle and delicate one: it is similar to the optimistic 1980s vision of the extra-terrestrial ET Its form and use of colour, its transparency during the daytime, and the light it emits at night create a new landscape The interior spaces are agreeably informal and relaxed They are silent, thanks to the particular attention paid to sound-proofing; luminous, thanks to the skilful mixing of natural and artificial illumination and the use of a light-coloured flooring; and colourful, thanks to the pink glass, the sofas that populate the interior spaces and the furnishings in the children's section, all creating a special environment photo: Tomas Clocchiatti 2004 Studio Italo Rota Municipality of Perugia Mirko_Zardini Mon - Sat: and Mon - Fri: Located in San Sisto, part of the Municipality of Perugia in Umbria 12

13 photo: Evan Chakroff photo: Evan Chakroff San Giovanni Battista Church Via di Limite Campi Bisenzio Formally named after John the Baptist, this church has also earned the name Church of the Freeway of the Sun for its location between the Autostrada del Sole (Freeway of the Sun) and the A11 Firenze-Mare Highway The design of the church is meant to reflect both modern and traditional church design The 'cross' floor plan and stone facing are meant to evoke a traditional feel while the tent-like vertical elements and copper roofing reflect modern design tastes The church stands 27,5 metres high The materials used are stone and concrete for the walls and copper for the roof, oxidized to green on the outside and burnished blond on the inside Marble, glass and bronze are used for the interior elements The building's floor plan is asymmetrical and follows sinuous curves, creating a feeling of fluid space One of the intentions to build the church was to honor the workers who had died during construction of the freeway photo: Evan Chakroff 1963 Giovanni Michelucci evanc 13

14 photo: Zanini Marco photo: Zanini Marco Banca del Monte dei Paschi di Siena Via di Spugna Colle val d'elsa The building is located in the urban center of Colle Val d'elsa, near the historical center The site was previously occupied by a factory The building is characterized by a dichotomy between traditional stonewall and light metal structure The aim of this architecture is to form public void space by means of penetrable structure Furthermore it's a powerful landmark in urban landscape photo: Zanini Marco 1978 Main designer, Giovanni Michelucci Bruno Sacchi Monte dei Paschi di Siena marco_zanini The ground floor is public 14

15 photo: Marco Zanini photo: Marco Zanini Santa Maria Assunta Church Piazza A Aalto Vergato Riola In line with the new dictates of the Church, which halfway through the 1950s felt the need to adopt new languages in order to communicate with worshippers, the church at Riola was conceived with the idea of creating a liturgical area inserted in the surroundings which would encourage maximum participation The river, mountains and the nearby Rocchetta Mattei were indeed precise landmarks for the architect when modelling the building The presence of the river was especially important in the development of the entire project The volume of the church has been defined as the flowing of a river, and the light in the building captures and reflects the light as it shines on the water This was the first time that Alvar Aalto had used materials such as raw stone for the coverings and terra cotta for the floors 1978, Landscape architect Alvar Aalto marco_zanini photo: Marco Zanini Can be visited every day from , except for Saturdays at 1700 and Sundays at 1100, when it is closed to tourists for mass By car: SS64 By train: "Riola" railway station, the church is right across the river from the station 15

16 photo: Paola De Pietri photo: Paola De Pietri Saint Anselmo of Lucca Church Via Martiri di Cervarolo Reggio nell'emilia This new building is located next to the existing one Its special position, on one of the main streets connecting the urban centre to the hills, turns the complex into an important urban landmark The ellipse form represents the union of the community in the 'Communion' The ellipse is disposed with the main axis along the south-north line This characteristic denotes and enhances the quality of the inside light The singular conformation of the roof generates an indirect light thanks to a double reflection: on the external roof and on the curvilinear sails inside The cold morning light hits the sails on the east side directly In the afternoon the opposite phenomenon occurs, with a warmer and softer light At noon, the big central skylight diffuses symmetrically the zenith light, which is reflected by a regular series of vertical shades photo: Paola De Pietri Main designer, Eugenio Ansaloni Gianfranco Varini eugenioansaloni 16

18 photo: Maarten Helle photo: Maarten Helle Enzo Ferrari Museum Via Paolo Ferrari Modena In 2004 Future Systems won an international competition to design a new museum in Modena, The museum comprises exhibition spaces within the early nineteenth century house where the motor racing giant was born and raised, and its adjoining workshop, as well as a separate, newly constructed exhibition building Following the death of Jan Kaplicky in 2009, the office of Future Systems was dissolved Andrea Morgante, formerly of Future Systems and now director of Shiro Studio, was appointed to oversee the museum's completion The new building has been constructed to Kaplický's original design The sculpted yellow aluminium roof with its ten incisions - intentionally analogous to those air intake vents on the bonnet of a car allows for natural ventilation and day lighting, and both celebrates and expresses the aesthetic values of car design With its 3,300 square metres of double-curved aluminium, the roof is the first application of aluminium in this way on such a large scale photo: Maarten Helle Floor area/size m² Main designer, Future Systems Shiro Studio HelleBeelden 18

19 photo: Jeroen Meijer photo: Jeroen Meijer Chiesa di San Pietro Apostolo Via Monte Grappa Merate "The image is that of a cube suspended above a cylinder The space of the church is generated from the tension between these volumes The two primary volumes actually conceal a great internal complexity created by the juxtaposition of various geometrical planes The overhead lighting from the perimeter of the square roof highlights the elementary form of the skin The side lighting, on the other hand, is transformed into a wall of light in the great arch of the choir thanks to the transparent onyx slabs shaping a tree as the backdrop to the nave" photo: Jeroen Meijer 1995 Associate architect Mario Botta Fabiano Redaelli Parish of San Pietro Apostolo, Sartirana jpmm church hours Car: from milano SS 342dir (via Statale) in Merate take via Stelvio/via Monte Grappa for 800m north-east, voila 19

21 photo: Gabriele Basilico photo: Gabriele Basilico Verona Forum Via Belgio Verona The project pursues two choices which defined its shape The first concerns the construction of the side overlooking the street in a compact manner The second defines a place of considerable proportions on the inside devoted to public landscaping In compliance with the planning regulations, the project envisages the creation of two low blocks to make up the street front as it were and buildings of a more vertical character further back This logic best interprets the different 'scale of perception' with which the buildings are destined to be read On one side, the viewpoint of the pedestrian or motorist, who will perceive above all the continuity of the low blocks On the other side, it will be viewed in the role of landmark played by the tall buildings which, standing out against the skyline in this part of the city, become explicit signals of the change it is undergoing Floor area/size m² Mario Bellini s Verona Forum photo: Gabriele Basilico fcampagnari 21
