Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Recovery of the Ex-Furnace Riccione for the realization of a secondary school, a multipurpose theater and an office building in Rimini, Italy by Pietro Carlo Pellegrini ArchitettoJanuary 20th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Pietro Carlo Pellegrini Architetto Pietro Carlo Pellegrini founded his company in 1985 in Lucca, since then, his works have the aim of blending modernity with sensitivity towards the existing context. The project that we are going to show you concerns the recovery of the Riccione Ex-Furnace, located in northeastern of Italy, in Emilia-Romagna, in the province of Rimini.

Here you can see some pictures of the deterioration state, before the recovery. The project started on 2010, works began on 2012 and terminated at the end of 2014. The old destinations give way to the new one, taking advantage of the spatial possibilities of the old buildings, which maintain their forms and the historical memory of the place. In the buildings will be located a Middle School of 18 classes, an offices building, and a 650-seat multipurpose theater, not yet built.

The purpose of design is to create simple and easily recognizable architectural volumes, standardizing forms, materials and colors, reinterpreting the historical aspects of pre-existing archaeological sites in the way of the contemporary; following a process of \”addition\” never concluded.

The project is generally characterized by one side to the restoration and enhancement of the existing brick masonry elements on the other to differentiate the new from the existing one retaining a consistent overall composition of the intervention. Externally along the perimeter an insulating red brick color coat glass wool flowing to the pillars, while the infill of the walls is entrusted to brick blocks with the cavities filled with insulating material.

The whole system of heating/air conditioning/production hot water is entrusted to the massive use of electrical heat pumps fed by a photovoltaic system integrated into the building envelope, supported by radiant floor heating. Inside a layer of plaster serves as a finish.

We’ll show you also a 650-seat multipurpose theater with the typical landmark of the furnaces, the chimney, all not yet built.

We wanted to pursue, finally, the policy of energy saving, researching easily materials found in \”km 0\”. In 2015 the project received an honorable mention to the gold medal in the Italian architecture, and it has been nominated for the Piranesi awards.
