“Heart” is a modern school center of modern times becomes the landmark of the new district of Lamminrahka and rendezvous. The main entrance of the building and the community are emphasized the lobby, restaurant and common areas are located in a cityscape on the edge of an important city square. School activities opens into a public space and a school center is formed natural address. Communal spaces form a pedestal the building's sports and banquet facilities, which are the lobby above the main entrance. Sports facilities placement on the second floor of the building allows the connection of all parts of the school center to the one in the square to the main lobby.
RED concept integrates the tradition of the Feltrinelli bookshops with Italian culinary tradition, generating a new cultural space. Two old housing buildings in Corso Garibaldi were linked for the new RED: a sequence of small spaces in two levels, originally designed for domestic use. A new axis is opened connecting the street with three patios, generating light and spaces that combine the new public scale with the domestic atmosphere of the actual building. The old materials and the new steel reinforcements are left “as found” revealing the history of the place.
