L'obiettivo della sopraelevazione in Bläsiring 15b è stato la densificazione di un complesso edilizio d'interesse storico, agendo con estrema sensibilità per preservare l'uso culturale al piano terra e nel cortile interno. In stretta coordinazione con le autorità per la tutela dei monumenti, è stato realizzato un concetto che poneva il mantenimento delle attività artigianali come condizione essenziale, contrastando così la progressiva sostituzione con spazi abitativi. Immerso nel verde del cortile, l'edificio esistente è stato integrato con una sopraelevazione in legno e una struttura leggera di balconi. Avendo eseguito personalmente tutti i lavori di carpenteria durante gli undici mesi di cantiere, il doppio ruolo di progettista e artigiano ha permesso di definire numerosi dettagli con estrema precisione direttamente in opera. La presenza costante in loco ha inoltre favorito una collaborazione molto stretta e uno scambio diretto con le altre ditte.

Per la mostra «Was War Werden Könnte: Esperimenti tra tutela dei monumenti e architettura» (05.04–14.09.2025) abbiamo realizzato una scultura spaziale che invita i visitatori a uno scambio informale e al dialogo sul futuro della conservazione. L’installazione richiama la Kunsthalle Bar, che ha occupato lo stesso spazio per quasi due decenni (1984–2003).

Un bancone bar collocato al centro, che integra diversi libri legati ai temi della mostra, riflette sia la storia dello spazio sia la sua memoria materiale: è infatti costruito con materiali provenienti da precedenti allestimenti espositivi. Gli sgabelli sono prolungati con listelli da tetto e profili in alluminio, mentre il bancone stesso è realizzato con pannelli da falegnameria residui del S AM. La sottostruttura è composta da cappe in plexiglas, originariamente utilizzate come coperture per tavoli espositivi, riutilizzate e ruotate di 90° per questa installazione.

ll progetto di ristrutturazione dell’enoteca è il fulcro di un processo di trasformazione in cui la disposizione degli spazi viene adattata alle nuove sfide dell’azienda vinicola.  Fondata nel 1950, la cantina vini ha attraversato una fase di espansione incrementale, ampliandosi con strutture aggiuntive secondo le esigenze e senza un'approfondita pianificazione a lungo termine. La riorganizzazione permette di concentrare il magazzino su un unico livello migliorando la sua efficienza operativa e permette così di trasferire l'enoteca nella corte per valorizzare il giardino e creare uno spazio esterno più generoso.

La vicinanza alle persone, al progetto e al territorio ci ha permesso di osservare da vicino e vivere intensamente il luogo. Abbiamo conosciuto gli artigiani e lavorato insieme a loro. Non eravamo uno studio di architettura esterno, ma parte integrante della vita quotidiana del cantiere. Questo ci ha permesso di stabilire processi di lavoro atipici e di lavorare con materiali locali: sabbia proveniente dalla cava di sabbia glaciale, calce al grassello e mattoni di canapa provenienti dall'area circostante. Abbiamo ri-utilizzato praticamente tutti i materiali di demolizione. Dai vecchi pavimenti e arredi dell'enoteca sono stati ricavati nuovi scaffali, pareti e tavoli. Sosteniamo che la storia si manifesta nei materiali e che la patina e le tracce del lavoro manuale sono affascinanti. Ciò che abbiamo trovato può essere passato di moda, ma così facendo è rimasto ed ha acquisito un nuovo valore.

Il design del negozio per Lavie si materializza come una struttura spaziale che combina esposizione, stoccaggio dei prodotti e aree ad uso ufficio in un unico sistema. Elementi mobili e adattabili all’interno del sistema di scaffalature consentono una configurazione flessibile del layout dei prodotti, permettendo alla struttura spaziale di trasformarsi con ogni nuova collezione. Sul lato posteriore sono integrati tavoli destinati a postazioni di lavoro. L’installazione è composta da diversi sistemi di stoccaggio e componenti costruttivi di produzione industriale, analoghi a quelli utilizzati nei magazzini di Lavie, e crea un contrasto consapevole con i tessuti colorati e soffici di Lavie. Tutti i componenti sono riutilizzati.

Dall'inizio del 2023, numerosi artisti e operatori culturali lavorano nell'edificio classificato Zeughaus 4 sul sito della caserma di Zurigo. Quando la polizia cantonale si è trasferita, il sito è diventato accessibile al pubblico e sarà utilizzato temporaneamente fino al 2026. Da gennaio a maggio 2023, il collettivo di architettura squadra ha creato spazi di lavoro per l'associazione Maison Shift al piano superiore dell'armeria. Gli spazi servono come centro di incontro e scambio per gli stilisti che stanno guidando la transizione verso un'industria tessile sostenibile. L'idea di sostenibilità è stata incorporata nel processo di progettazione e costruzione realizzato dagli stessi architetti, che ha permesso anche la flessibilità e il riutilizzo coerente dei componenti. Sono stati riutilizzati materiali già disponibili in loco: I pannelli del vecchio poligono di tiro fungono da scaffali e banconi. Le vecchie scaffalature per il deposito di pneumatici sono state trasformate in pareti e mobili. Tutti i componenti possono essere rimossi e ceduti.

Il complesso di edifici dello Château de Dompierre ha perso la sua funzione di insediamento agricolo nel XX secolo. Il progetto consiste in interventi mirati negli edifici esistenti e nei loro dintorni. L'obiettivo è quello di ripristinare l'equilibrio ecologico che regnava un tempo sul sito e di rivitalizzarlo attraverso vari usi complementari: la pratica della permacultura, la creazione di uno spazio di scambio dove organizzare conferenze e workshop nella natura, nonché residenze musicali e artistiche.

La casa rurale a Châtillon è stata costruita nel XVIII secolo come primo edificio del villaggio. Incarna l'architettura rurale tradizionale tipica della regione dell'epoca e le facciate sono infatti inserite nell'inventario del patrimonio del Cantone di Friburgo. Fino agli anni '70 è stata abitata da un'anziana signora e dalle sue capre, che riscaldavano la casa dalla cantina. Lo spazio abitativo consisteva in una cucina, un soggiorno e una camera da letto. Il sottotetto, con il suo tetto a falde, fungeva da deposito di fieno e da essiccatoio e vi si accedeva tramite una scala dall'esterno. Da allora, la casa è stata utilizzata come domicilio per il fine settimana dalla famiglia del nuovo proprietario basilese. La ristrutturazione interna ha l'obiettivo di rendere la casa più accogliente, dare accesso al sottotetto e preservare l'edificio a lungo termine. La facciata in legno della mansarda può essere smontata come persiana. In questo modo l'aspetto esterno dell'edificio viene conservato nel suo intero. Per la ristrutturazione sono stati utilizzati materiali tradizionali dell'epoca.

La conversione è stata un gioco di equilibrio tra una visione condivisa e la necessità di reagire continuamente all'edificio esistente. Insieme agli artigiani locali, a tanti amici e studenti che volevano acquisire un'esperienza pratica nella costruzione, abbiamo ricostruito Casa Giuseppina nel corso di quattro estati. Le numerose persone coinvolte danno vita alla casa. Stiamo dialogando su come affrontare le altre case in disuso vicine e su quali modi possiamo contribuire alla conservazione dell'insediamento.

Il villaggio di Mosogno di Sotto si trova lontano dalla strada ed ha più case che abitanti. Staccato dal centro medievale del paese si trova l'ex mulino: la "Casetta". Insieme a tanti amici e artigiani locali, i muri rimasti in disuso sono stati riqualificati in una semplice casa, in cui si convive con i cambiamenti stagionali. Il processo di costruzione è stato un gioco di equilibrio. Tutti i materiali da costruzione dovevano essere trasportati a piedi o trasportati in elicottero. La nostra presenza costante in cantiere ha permesso di apportare continui aggiustamenti all'esistente e di integrare nella ristrutturazione le componenti che non dovevano essere sostituite con urgenza. Solo pochi nuovi elementi sono stati portati dal villaggio.

Lysbüchel Areal, Basel
/
2021 – 2022

Il Kulturlokal Schwarzer Peter è un luogo non commerciale, creativo e di incontro inclusivo gestito dall' associazione per lavori di strada Schwarzer Peter nel Lysbüchelareal di Basilea. Il Kulturlokal è gestito tutto l'anno in modo partecipativo insieme ai visitatori di Schwarzer Peter e ai volontari del settore artistico, culturale e musicale di Basilea. Eventi culturali come mostre, concerti e workshop sono offerti al pubblico. L'intera offerta può essere utilizzata gratuitamente dai clienti dei lavori di strada e da tutte le parti interessate. Il centro culturale è stato progettato come un edificio modulare temporaneo realizzato in legno e alcuni container. Gli elementi possono essere facilmente smontati e sono dimensionati per le grandezze massime di trasporto, in modo che l'edificio possa essere facilmente spostato in altri siti in futuro. Le finestre e le porte provengono da edifici demoliti e grazie alle fondamenta a tassello, non ci sono rifiuti edili.

Il nostro progetto non affascina né per una costruzione di lusso né per i materiali ricercati, ma molto di più per l'empatia che ci ha portato la  lunga permanenza in una zona completamente estranea. Non abbiamo incontrato molte persone là fuori, ma i pochi incontri sono stati caratterizzati da grande sincerità e onestà. Il risultato è un progetto riservato, ma rispettoso, che cerca di collegare tradizione ed esigenze locali. La comunità a Tathuen aveva bisogno di un rifugio per aspettare il bus, ci siamo guardati intorno e abbiamo valutato quali materiali fossero disponibili. La pelle proviene da scarti inutilizzati, la legna dalle riserve per la costruzione dei recinti.

Attraverso il contatto con la natura, i paesaggi e i loro abitanti, cerchiamo di ispirare i visitatori della Meseta Somuncura a riflettere sulle complesse controversie sociali ed economiche che segnano l'agenda del popolo Mapuche-Tehuelche fino ad oggi. Non c'è futuro nell'architettura senza una memoria conciliatoria tra comunità in conflitto.
