Isole di accoglienza: i progetti del concorso “rifugi minimi”

I progetti presentati al concorso hanno mostrato una varietà di approcci, soluzioni insediative e tecnologiche da parte dei giovani progettisti, facendo emergere questioni di installazione e aggregazione, formali, costruttive e di utilizzo che hanno indotto la giuria ad assegnare il primo premio ex-aequo a due progetti rappresentativi di due modi esemplari di affrontare il tema: una
soluzione minimale, domestica e autocostruibile, l’altra fortemente espressiva, organica e composita per materiali e tecniche realizzazione.

Shelter islands. the “tiny shelters” competition projects

The projects submitted by the young designers to the competition showed a variety of approaches, settlement and technological solutions which brought out installation and aggregation, formal, constructive and use issues. This led the jury to award ex-aequo the first prize to two projects representing two exemplary ways of facing the topic: a minimal, domestic and self-built solution, the other one strongly expressive, organic and composite in materials and building techniques.
