Tuesday 25 august

Design discussion on the common board:
the pavilion as a rythmical installation of frames open to the landscape under the natural canopy of the walnut and the apple tree. The frames density varies creating more or less intimate spaces and a sequence of observation points.


Check of the proposals with models and on site. Definition of an open pavilion with a central more dense core delimiting spaces with seats and frames oriented to the main views: the Stura river and the Alps, the Centrale, the canal).

Division in three groups to define the general shape, the textures of the frames and the details: benches and bike rack.
