AWARD: First Prize in the Competition.
Re-shaping or, better, re-systemizing three squares and a courtyard of an old convent in the historical center of a small town in Piemonte means to re-design, using soft tools, a new city overlapping the existing one, linking together the same elements in a different secuence, give them alternative meanings, new relational structures.
The logic in order of which an open space is drawn -literally- by a group of objects seen like boundaries or limits is overturned.
The Empty is built like an architectural space, splitting, squeezing itself from a square to another and then expanding again.
