"Footprints". Project for Magliano in Toscana - Grosseto
The course aims to organize a didactic experience whose focus is the practice of the project. In this logic also the aspects of theoretical-reflexive matrix will have to find in the development of the compositional proposal their field of elaboration, application, definitive revelation.

Magliano in Toscana, a cura di P. Scapin, ediz

The course aims to organize a didactic experience whose focus is the practice of the project. In this logic also the aspects of theoretical-reflexive matrix will have to find in the development of the compositional proposal their field of elaboration, application, definitive revelation. The laboratory activities will be based on the example of the design seminars or workshops; the time available will be entirely dedicated to the work of the students at the site - research, drawing, maquette; a modality that is a cast of what happens every day in a workshop. The frontal lesson will be interpreted as a brief communication on singular and specific aspects related to the topics dealt with. The project will be prepared by working groups of two/three students.

Those included in the course of studies.

The core of the workshop is the work that originates, matures and acquires recognizable physiognomy in the classroom, through a doing in common (operational stamp of the teaching in the world of "arts and crafts"), it is divided basically along two lines, however, in solidarity and corresponding to each other. A first one made of communications, critical interventions, presentation of exemplary case studies; a second one centred on the analysis and discussion of the project proposals elaborated by the students according to the question and interview modalities. Among the construction and communication tools of the project, the three-dimensional model of study will be evaluated as an element of primary importance in understanding the project hypothesis in progress and its possible and necessary transmission.

The experiences carried out in the laboratory will all be subject to specific judgment and will contribute to the final evaluation.
List of materials required to pass the test:
three-dimensional urban model (size and morphology of the model according to lay-out) - cardboard-wood construction material in suitable thicknesses
three-dimensional model of the project proposal scale 1:100 (size and morphology of the model according to lay-out) - cardboard-wood construction material in suitable thicknesses
boards mounted according to lay-out
portfolio containing the exercise 10 images, the project report, plans, sections, profiles, not present in the tables (format and layout according to layout)
red exercise book (individual exercise)
dvd with all the files produced during the workshop (name, surname, e.mail address of each member of the group).

Topic
The planning exercise concerns the walled village of Magliano in Toscana, in the province of Grosseto. The areas of intervention are located both in the historical fabric and in the first strip around the city walls facing east; the interventions and functional destinations to be allocated include:
the project for a surface car park (capacity 80/90 stalls) in the area near the walls identified by the municipal administration. The design must safeguard the possibility of occasional collective use of the site (festivals, fairs, markets) and imagine solutions that minimise its environmental impact.
the construction of a lift system from the yard to the historic centre (ramps and/or stairs/lift)
the layout of a pedestrian passage connecting the new car park to Porta San Martino, the old northern gate
the reorganisation of the landscape of the hillside below the car park - with the design of a pedestrian cycle path towards the valley with a resting point
the design of a building for collective use on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, as a suture and recomposition of the continuity of the road curtain.

New civic centre on via Garibaldi
premises serving urban services
entrance hall
newspaper library, reading room
Seated conference room 70
Exhibition hall
tourist info-point (front office, offices, meeting room)
services. Two men's baths (including one for disabled people); two women's baths (including one for disabled people)
warehouse and its hoists
premises intended for territorial promotion:
research laboratories (max 4)
multifunctional space that can be set up (tourist and agricultural promotion)
services. Two men's baths (including one for disabled people); two women's baths (including one for disabled people)
storeroom

Outdoor accommodations
The proposal must provide for an overall reorganisation of the site where the project item is located. The rooms will enjoy gardens and open spaces of relevance.

Landscaping arrangements
new car park (80/90 stalls) with event space - open-air market
ski-lift systems towards via Garibaldi (accessibility also for the elderly and disabled)
design of the pedestrian path towards the San Martino gate
redesign of the hilly side towards the east along a cycle/pedestrian path

General information
Elevator and/or pedestrian ramps of adequate dimensions, suitable to allow the connection of the various levels of the building, according to what is established by the regulations in force regarding the removal of architectural barriers. The new building will be accessible from the "wide" street (now via Garibaldi) and from the newly built road at the foot of the village. The building can be developed on several levels (it is possible to plan in section the difference in level between the parking lot and the historical building). It is necessary to ensure the independent operation of the conference room and related services. Maximum building height equal to the ridge line of the highest neighbouring building. It is possible to design beyond the edge of the ancient walls (max. overhang 5 m - measurement to be verified after the topographic survey). Minimum height of laboratories and exhibition areas: 400 cm.; minimum height of service areas: 240 cm.; minimum height of other areas: 300 cm. Lighting. All the rooms must have natural lighting except the exhibition rooms, warehouses and services that can be designed with forced ventilation and artificial lighting.

Drawings 
The students of the course will be given a lay-out as a guide to the graphic material to be written (.indd file) - number and size of tables, characters, contents. The three-dimensional models will be made entirely of wood cardboard. If you wish to present graphic materials as an integration, they must be printed in A5 format according to the assigned layout.
