This project is an entry for YAC’s Hill of the Arts Competition. It is one of my recent personal efforts, please enjoy! (Please find my other competition entry here FLEXSCRAPER Skyscraper Design – the Retreats for Progress) You can find the full exhibition board in the next post if you are interested.

[taɪd] - Hilltop Art Hotel in Turin, Italy

In this competition to transform the ancient hilltop mansion in Turin into an art hotel, we used the “creation-display-consumption” chain of the modern business model as the logic to carry out the functional layout. Meanwhile, to preserve the existing building structures and external space relationships on-site as much as possible, we followed an implicit and restrained manner in creating the new spatial order that emphasizes continuity.

[taɪd] - the name of the project is a pun. On the one hand, it means “tide,” which describes the project’s continuous and rhythmic form and implies how the project’s function operates – through constant flow and exchange. On the other hand, it also means “tied,” which summarizes the proposed intervention on the site – organically connecting the existing independent building spaces into a continuous whole, thereby promoting the flow and exchange.

Great work! I like the clean final layout. But.. really you want to hide the ancient building facade with this tubes..???

Finally figured out how to enlarge the images in the post! My bad. 8o

Thanks! There is still huge room for improvement.

Thanks! For those light pipes, I felt the basement art gallery wants to express himself a bit above ground during design – he is also my baby, and there was no method more natural than using the light pipes to make this visual impact. So, I have to make some sacrifices. However, if you look at the last view (the night view at the entrance plaza), you will see that at least the main facade of the red-roofed building remains intact.

Ok! but.. why the tube so tall? If you make them something like 2 m tall, you will have less visual impact and low light dispersion! (and maybe Belle Arti Italian Institute will give you the OK!!)

2 Reasons:

1. The pipes need to be just as tall as it is right now to clear the red-roofed building and get exposed to the morning sun.

2. As I said, since the visual impact is intentional, it would rather be something. At 2 m would fall into ambiguity visually.
