Restore To Impact - Deserving concepts selected for the Professional and Under 30 categories

Parma, 31 May 2023

Flexibility, adaptability over time, porosity understood as the ability to dialogue with the physical and social context and as the quality of the landscape and public spaces in relation to connectivity. But also sustainability in technological, environmental, economic, business and innovative terms.

These are the criteria stimulated by the "5 Regenerative Actions as a Force for Good" and adopted by the Selection Committee of Restore to Impact - The next healthcare landmark for innovation and future-oriented competences to evaluate the ideas received within April 30.

The candidate entries for the Call for Ideas "Restore to Impact" were examined by the Selection Committee meeting in Parma and composed of: Andrea Chiesi Head of Special Projects Chiesi Group and Sponsor of the international Call for Ideas Restore to Impact (Italy); Giulia Baccarin CEO and Co-founder MiPU Predictive Hub Società Benefit (Italy); Emilio Faroldi Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Polytechnic University of Milan (Italy); Didier Fiúza Faustino Artist / Architect, Director Mésarchitecture studio (Portugal / France); Paola Liani Architect, Co-founder Paritzki&Liani Architects (Israel); Aura Luz Melis Architect, Partner Inside Outside (The Netherlands); Ingrid Paoletti Scientific Coordinator Material Balance Research Lab Polytechnic University of Milan (Italy); and Matteo Vegetti Professor of "Theories of Space" Supsi (DACD Mendrisio) and Lecturer at the Accademia di Architettura, Mendrisio (AAM), Università della Svizzera Italiana USI (Switzerland).

According to a higher score allocation, three Prizes were awarded for each Category (Professional and Under 30) and a Honourable Mention for the Professional Category with the following motivations:

PROFESSIONAL

Urban Scale Laboratory
Bodria Sportillo, Parma, Italy
Team composed of architect duo Pietro Bodria and Antonio Sportillo

The 'Urban Scale' project develops parameters of flexibility and sustainability, indicating a scale of gentle intervention and permeability to the urban and social context. It shows the possible adaptability over time and, in its visual impact, directly reflects the degree of innovation of the activities taking place inside. The creation of two separate elements for the different activities and the open space also declares the fluidity of the interconnections that could be more defined in the future.

Chiesi FARM (Forest Academy Research Museum)
Chiesi FARM, Parma, Italy

Team consisting of Chiara Cocconcelli Digital strategies & Communication (Italy) from Officine On/Off, Luca Bocedi Visual Designer (Italy), Francesca Giannini Architect (Italy), Giulia Ghidini Architect (Italy), Domenica Fiorini Architect (Italy), Veronica Pinetti Project Manager & Instructional Designer (Italy), Simone Spotti Designer (Italy), Ximena Malaga Palacio Sustainability Manager & Financial Officer (Italy).

The parameter appreciated in the 'FARM' project is porosity. The combination of the compact volume of the building and the different types of green spaces is a clear gesture. Through the demolition of the existing, the generous recovery of a predominance of open spaces to the site is suggested. Expressing, on the one hand, the ability to reorganise the urban fabric and, on the other, the hierarchical delimitation, either clear or more blurred, between public and private of the different areas.

Restore to Impact
Studio 63, Florence, Italy + Edoardo Cesaro, Camerota (SA), Italy

The 'Restore To Impact' project approach tends to enhance the relationship with the context, through a visual transparency of the built environment and the presence of greenery. The conception of two levels of open space, diversified by function, succeeds in outlining the creation of a system that is interconnected and at the same time autonomous and independent.

PROFESSIONAL HONOURABLE MENTION

Chiiiesi
CMJC, Mantua, Italy

Team composed of Martina Baratta Architect (Italy) Cristina Roiz de la Parra Solano Architect (Italy), Camilla Federici DE&I Consultant (Italy), Julian Raffetseder Urban Climate Consultant (Switzerland) and Giorgio Notari Renderist (Italy).

Of the 'Chiiiesi' project, the concepts of flexibility, adaptability and economic sustainability are emphasised in an intervention involving the design of lightweight structures that can change according to needs and allow for possible interaction with greater permeability on the ground floor.

UNDER 30s

On the Screen
Paola Mauti, Monte San Giovanni Campano (FR), Italy

The creation of two separate open areas in the 'On the Screen' project enhances the existing site by opening it up to the city and making it flexible in use. The screen façade and access to an underground auditorium further break down the delimitation between public and private space and highlight the potential interactive relationship with the community.

The Portico of Innovation
Yifan and Jingwen, Delft, Netherlands
Team composed of the duo Dong Yifan and Jingwen Gan

The idea behind The Portico of Innovation is a seam of the existing, with the addition of surgical interventions that enhance the relationship between inside and outside. These elements - interpreting criteria of flexibility and adaptability - are characteristically minimal and resilient to changes over time. They are able to propose different perspectives of access to the open space and enjoyment of the garden made public.

The Civic Campus
Robert Snelling, Ascot Vale/Melbourne, Australia

The project 'The Civic Campus' amplifies, also in a cultural key, the dialogue with the territory, establishes a proper relationship of urban scale and expresses the connection between learning and sociality. Maintaining the built environment, it proposes an easily convertible, circular and sustainable system to accommodate future functional evolutions.

As stated in the announcement, the three deserving concepts for the Professional category will receive € 12,000.00 each, while the three deserving concepts for the Under 30 category will receive € 5,000.00 each. The Honourable Mention for the Professional Category will be awarded € 2,000.00.

The amount not awarded (€ 13,000.00), calculated on the total prize money (€ 66,000.00), will be donated to a social project promoted by a local organisation that will be announced during the Award Ceremony.
