Three themes: retail building, adaptive reuse, urban-planning district
What the track asks
An envelope with three alternative six-hour design themes and a linked first written test (technical report on design and construction choices). THEME I — a three-storey retail building on a roughly 7 m wide residual urban lot between two existing buildings of different heights (10 m and 4 m); accessibility for people with motor disabilities is explicitly required. THEME II — adaptive reuse: on a suburban lot of about 37 × 28 m with three existing concrete structures, design three temporary dwellings with shared spaces (kitchen and living, about 110 sqm total) reusing the existing volume and adding a solar greenhouse, with new volumes in brick and/or reinforced concrete and external works. THEME III — an urban-planning theme: an implementation district of Pescara's master plan (territorial index 1.00 cum/sqm, additional social-housing volume, max height 16.80 m), with road widenings, a new road link and continuous sustainable mobility (cycle paths) between public facilities; required outputs include a 1:1000 project plan, a 1:500 urban section and typological/aggregation schemes of the building types.
Required drawings
Building themes (I and II): general site plan 1:200; plans, elevations and sections 1:100; section/elevation 1:20 with construction details. Urban theme (III): 1:1000 project plan with functional zones, layout with road and volume dimensions, one or more 1:500 urban sections, typological and aggregation schemes, concept and overall views.
