Green Rails, requalification of a disused area

The task was to riqualify a disused area near Zaha Hadid's MAXXI, Guido Reni street, Rome.
The riqualification had to be focused on the energetic sustainibility and for the first part of the exam I worked in a Team of 3 other people, with the attendance of a workshop from Liechtenstein, to define the area's masterplan, in which to put artistic ateliers and dwellings.
After the masterplan's definition, the team was divided in two groups: one for the ateliers, the other for the dwellings. I chose the second theme and worked with Elisabetta Fiorenza.
Elisabetta and I worked on buildings made of wood, fluid concrete, with a structure of steel truss.
The  building has 4 different tipologies of dwellings and most of them have a large terrace.
We had to do the details of the structure (1:20 scale) and we made a dossier in which we studied themes as interior design, inhabitant's happiness, electrochrome glasses, insulation systems, heating, cooling, garden roof, wood and orientation.
