| Choosing A Project | Scope |
 Site Relevance/Proximity
 From landscape to exterior design
An international summer school
 The school is open to young final year,
graduate and doctoral students from
Italian and foreign Architecture;
 The relationship among three project
sites and urban settlement rules.

4. Introduction Urban Design Architecture Structure Design Technology Views
| Choosing A Project | Scope |
The area for our
study case is located
on the northern
edge of the Roman
cast rum, area 1 ;
BETWEEN THE CITY
AND THE RIVER

5. Introduction Urban Design Architecture Structure Design Technology Views
| Choosing A Project | Scope |
 Landscape design - Rediscover with the Po itself &
Improve the landscape of the
involved area;
 Open Space - Requalification of the ‘ex sports field’ area
 Public space face to the Palazzo Farnse as new open
space integrated with the different public
functions and collective
 Housing
A Housing involves:
- culture -economy
- Society -functionality
- social life -spatial quality
- urban development -aesthetics
- environment
 Challenging
- The density of the infrastructure (constraint)
- The risk of flood
- Further development of the methodology is
needed in order to address correctly the
External Losts of visual impact, but that those
impact cannot be neglected especially when
considering local effects.

Piacenza
 INTRODUCTION
Emilia–Romagna is an administrative region
of Northern Italy comprising the two
historic regions of Emilia and Romagna. The
capital is Bologna; it has an area of 20,124
km² and about 4.3 million inhabitants.
•CITY
The city is situated on the right of the Po,
near its junction with the Trebbia, in an
important strategic position. Agriculture is
the chief industry. The cathedral is of the
ninth century; it was remodeled by Santa da
Sambuceto and others (1122-1223) in
beautiful Lombard style.

 The earliest urban settlement may be traced back to
the year 218 B.C.
ITALY
 The Romans had planned to construct them after the
successful conclusion of the latest war with the Gauls
ending in 219 BC.
 In the 13th century, despite unsuccessful wars against
Emperor Federick II, Piacenza managed to gain
strongholds on the Lombardy shore of the Po River.
 During the Middle Ages the town was ravaged quite a few times, fell under the
power of the Germanic invaders and suffered the effects of the war between the
Goths and the troops of the Eastern Roman Empire. After being under the rule of
Ostrogoths and Byzantines, Piacenza became the administrative center of a
Longobard dukedom, but its true recovery started in the ninth century, under the
Franks.
 Piacenza paid a high toll for its remarkable participation in the two World Wars
The beginning of the post-war period for the town. (28 April 1945)

Why Library ?  General Libraries
General libraries are centralized facilities
 Piacenza needs library
 Connections that serve the whole community and its
 People of Piacenza population. General libraries are the most
common type of library facilities and
programs. These facilities offer information,
materials, collections, and services similar
Farnese
to general public libraries found in most
communities and schools.
 Academic Libraries
 Technical Libraries
Dante, Piacenza
 Legal Libraries
 Medical Libraries
Academic, technical, legal, and medical
libraries feature specialized content
regarding a unique program.

 The concept for Piacenza library is to create a learning and information centre of excellence to promote long life
learning, engendering social inclusion and raising inspiration for the whole community.
 The connections of the building with two green spaces, one is on east connected to the building through faç and the
ade
other one is strongly connected with the building itself.

49. Introduction Urban Design Architecture Structure Design Technology Views
| Approach | Analysis |Design |
 According to the properties of this project, we pursue
the following goals:
EN 1991 Eurocode 1 : Actions on structures
 Structural design should be precise, secure, high
EN 1992 Eurocode 2 : Design of concrete structures
technology, economic, ensure quality, environment
EN 1994 Eurocode 3 : Design of composite steel and
friendly;
concrete structures
 Structural design should consider local technology
condition and materials availability;
 Ensure the quality of project and security, actively use
new structure and technology, material; the material
used should be helpful to save money and high speed
and short time of construction;
 For the selection of the structure, primarily consider
lowering weight of the structure; reduce section, and
 structural design should be convenient to protect and
maintenance;
 Structural design should be consider flexibility of
architecture and usage;
