Two themes: merging two dwellings, a demountable kiosk in a historic square
What the track asks
A sealed envelope with two alternative practical-exam themes for the Junior Architect (Section B). THEME 1 — merging and functional reorganization of two stacked dwellings (5th floor and 6th-floor attic) in an existing multi-storey urban building, for a family of four. Required: an internal vertical connection between the two floors, respecting the existing structure; the redistribution of living and sleeping zones without external changes, obtaining a large living area, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on the 5th floor and 1 in the attic, plus a remote-work room usable by both parents with furniture studied for privacy; artificial-lighting scenarios by room use. The existing-state drawings are provided (1:100 and 1:50 plans, section, floor scheme). THEME 2 — design of a demountable kiosk (max 25 sqm) in a historic-centre square of a Ligurian coastal town, a space born from wartime destruction and used by residents for shows, open-air cinema, parties and play: an assemblable/demountable structure serving, by occasion, as ticket office, kiosk, shop or store. Both themes require, in the technical report, developing one of a cost estimate, the design and verification of a structural element, or constructional/energy choices for sustainability.
Required drawings
THEME 1: dimensioned plans 1:100; one section 1:100; perspective or axonometric sketches; technical report (max 4 sheets) with one optional in-depth topic; an optional constructional detail at a suitable scale. THEME 2: general site plan 1:200; plan 1:50; at least one elevation 1:50; at least one significant section 1:50; one constructional detail at a suitable scale; perspective sketches; technical report (max 4 sheets).
