AVETRANA – ALBERGO DIFFUSO

“Principi Attivi” competition.
FIRST PRIZE/ WINNER
Urban strategy for a “Diffused Hotel” and revitalization of city centre.
Location: Avetrana, Italy.
Year: 2009 >
Status: Under development.

After winning the “Principi Attivi” competition, organized by the region Puglia (Italy), NAUTA is now developing a new “Albergo Diffuso” in Avetrana (Italy).
The project will include the complete urban revitalization of the city centre, the association of several commercial activities within the town and a detailed study and refurbishment of several properties to be incorporated into the hotel. A detailed marketing and branding campaign will enrich the “uniqueness” of this hotel, making Avetrana a continuously vibrating and attracting location to be. All will happen in the complete respect of the existing, but with a constant look to the future.

PUGLIA – DEVELOPING IDENTITY

Commissioned project.
COMPLETED
Tourism planning feasibility research & branding strategy.
Client: Municipality of Avetrana.
Location: Avetrana, Region of Puglia, Italy.
Year: 2011.

This project for the strategic development of the Puglia region in the international tourism market is based on an analytical approach, that analyses the different local conditions and their “vernacular essence”. Unicity and variety are the values that we want to transmit in the tourism offer of this region. At the same time, this “nostalgic touch”, crashes with the market reality that asks for ‘all inclusive’ formulas and standardized services. This study looks for a branding strategy capable to comunicate with the rules of market, yet pursue culture and local identity.

SEVILLA – EL PARQUE DE EPICURO

International landscape competition.
Design for an urban park.
Total area: 40ha.
Location: El Viso de Alcor, Sevilla, Spain.
Design: 2008.

El parque de la Muela can be thought as a slow place, reachable by the rhythm of the city but still, far from its chaos. It is a place where a contemporary concept of ‘pleasure’ can be reformulated in order to find a new identity for the “Andalusian hedonism”. Sweet is the landscape topography of the land, where a gentle modulation of the ground and the coexistence of hearth and water dilutes the compact urban structure of the village into the open land.
This condition makes us dream of an idyllic meeting between man and nature, artificial and spontaneous, like in historical complexes where architecture sensually melted with nature in a seamless way. Complexes like the villa of the emperor Hadrian in Tivoli (Hadrian was born in Sevilla) represent the materialization of the epicurean philosophy, a field to materialize feelings, the most important things in mens’ life: hedonism as a research of pleasure.

MARATEA – IO ISABELLA

Commissioned project.
REALISED
Urban scenery and branding strategy for film festival.
Data: scenography of screening setting, harbour “croisette” and cine-arena; Circulation strategy; Web, street branding and logo design.
Client: Associazione Amarganta, Potenza. Italy
Location: Maratea (PZ), Italy.
Design and realisation: 2007

We want to give to our international guests and to the local public, the experience of a media happening that would at the same time pursue the territorial qualities of the Lucanian coast, and become a strong sign of identity of a ‘feminine’ festival: beauty, fascination, and sensuality will mix to create a unique and exceptional urban experience. Isabella the ostrich will “entertain” the evenings of the guests that will find in her the tousand sides of the cinematic woman, through the thematic representation of the character according to the subjects of this festival edition.

AVETRANA – SUBLIME BRUTAL

Commissioned project.
Program: Residential block with three apartments.
Total site area: 728 sqm.
Total built area: 442 sqm.
Client: private.
Location: Avetrana (TA), Italy.
Design: 2006-2007.
Status: on going.

Built on a solid analytical base and on the history of Puglia, this project, through a simple design gesture, challenges the contemporary representation of the spirit of the mediterranean vernacular architecture and the strong Baroque local tradition.
The functional layout is the result of a complex site condition. The building, like a solid tuff block (the local stone), is programmatically carved by deep shaded terraces, which work as `buffer areas’ that separate the different functions , more or less private, within the apartments.
The shift of the tarraces on each level makes each dwelling different from the others, offering to each inhabitant a personalized space solution.
On the street level, a common volume provided with wide rotating doors on the two long facades, allows the connection between the two sides of the garden that otherwise would become a mere corridor−like space around the building.
Tuff stone, mindful of historical and landscape jewels like the “Sassi di Matera” and the “Gravine di Puglia”, is combined with the typical ceramic from Grottaglie, precious and sensual material, additional tribute to the local handcrafts. Brutal and sublime come together for a new concept of “contemporary mediterranean”.

BARI – STONE BEACH – SUBMERGED CITY

XX Venice Architecture Biennale 2006. “Stone City” section.
Data: Oecumenical church for Catholic and Orthodox religions.
Multifunctional program: Church, congress centre, theology faculty, cloister, guestrooms, hotel, retail, info point.
Total built area: 22.000 sqm
Location: Bari, Italy.
Design: 2006.

Our project has the goal of reevaluating the coast of the historical Bari, Italy, devastated by abusiveness and political indifference.
It foresees the realization of a tourist welcome centre for visitors of the city of St. Nicholas, Catholic saint and one of the main figures of the Orthodox tradition.
The functional program combines a flexible liturgical space, able to host at the same time Catholic and Orthodox liturgies (with annex faculty of religion, cloister for monks), hotel, retail and a congress centre.
How to combine tourism with religion? How to combine the religious vocation of an historical city with the contemporary reality of money and consumerism? How can we drive the economical wishes of a brave local government and developers in a direction capable to respect and make use of the potentials of this area?
How to develop a design ethic for a religious program? Is it really true that pilgrimage and holy places don’t get to any compromise between our “God”, and money, the “Capitalists’ God”? Fatima, San Giovanni Rotondo, Lourdes, Medjugorie: places of pain and hope, or business temples? Which is the social and economical impact of religion and media on the urban structure of those places?
On this bases, NAUTA developed a project strongly based on the combination of sacral and profane in order to establish a critical research platform on the future of tourism.
Our strategy makes use of the stone, on base of two concepts: the “excavation”, memory of constructive tradition of tuff quarries from the south of Italy; the stone used as a “surface”, capable to adapt itself to the folds of the costal landscape. Emergences from the underground sign the great stone beach : patios and ramps to the underground world make the place a sort of contemporary archeological site, memento of many places of «Magna Grecia» that deeply influenced the history of Puglia.

MADRID – NAVE TORROJA

International architecture competition “Nave Torroja”
FINALIST
Data: Renovation and extension of warehouse.
Program: Temporary and permanent expo space, educational centre.
Location: Madrid, Spain.
Design: 2006.

NAUTA rises like a technological fog, which ‘ascends’ and leans on the Nave Torroja. It formulates a contemporary clone of the existing building, generating at the same time a hybrid public space, not a square, nor an exhibition space, but both. The replication of the structure and the ˆnave˜ scheme offers a great flexibility to the changing program, allowing wide configurations of temporary and permanent exhibition. NAUTA is rises from the floor, moving the experience of the nave on a higher level. The connection side of new and old buildings becomes the “educational zip”, a moving platform where the flexibility is granted by whole floors moving vertically, providing the real connection grip between the nave and its extension, commercial and educational program.
The Nave Torroja plays with the light through the openings on its roof. It follows a rhythm dictated by the structure. NAUTA plays with the light as well, but in a different way. It is a permeable fog, continually crossed by light, making the mixture of space and light, mass. NAUTA is a narrative slides sequence, where layers of glass articulate the spaces like in a filmic plot. All spaces make the whole but they still live an autonomous life according to the exhibition program. The square below, an open field of alternation between natural and artificial light, becomes a platform to witness the happenings inside and outside the building. It is the projection of the upper slide, where commercial or educational images are displayed according to the cultural plan of the complex.
“Box in box” materialization, and the use of perforated stainless steel make NAUTA even more dissolving, expanding the perception on the building as immaterial, mediatic.
