Three themes: a neighbourhood library, a Tuscan ex-barn, the Soccorso district in Prato
What the track asks
A sealed envelope with three alternative design themes (Section A, second 2025 session), published in synthetic form by the commission and paired with the first written test justifying the structural or settlement sizing. THEME 1 — the design of a public neighbourhood library, with the layout of parking, greenery and paths. THEME 2 — the recovery and consolidation of a Tuscan barn altered over time, with a new residential use. THEME 3 — an urban-transformation design in the Soccorso district of Prato, with the regeneration of the built fabric and public spaces. As in the first session, the three themes span the public building with its outdoor facilities, the recovery of a rural existing structure with a change of use, and the urban scale of a neighbourhood's regeneration.
Required drawings
Design drawings at the scales suited to the chosen theme — from the public building (library) and the rural recovery to the neighbourhood urban design — and the first written test justifying the structural or settlement sizing. The commission published the themes in synthetic form.
