The project was selected to participate in the 2nd round of the Open Architectural Competition “Kursk 2032” to create a concept for the restoration of the historical and cultural appearance of the central part of the city of Kursk.
The project testifies the attention of the City of Este to the invaluable historical site and the architectural interventions are in continuity with the pre-existing loci.
The old paths have been renovated by using materials already available in the castle. The new paving aims to improve the availability of the spaces, to give access to areas previously not reachable and to reduce the architectural barriers.
The exposed bricks chosen for the new walls consent to recognize the new intervention and to integrate it with the background. Similarly to the boxes in steel corten and wood that contains the new technological equipment, avoid a fabrication of history.

The house for Architectural Heritage is a centre that houses the archival collection of sketches and drawings by the architect John Yarwood, as well as serving as an exhibition space dedicated to architecture. John Yarwood resided in the city of Muharraq between 1983 and 1985, while he was serving at the Head of the Urban Renewal Department at the Ministry of Housing and fell in love with the city. His affection for exploration and documentation found an excellent opportunity in the abundant architectural heritage of the city. Today, his hand drawn sketches and drawings as well as his photographs remain one of the most extensive sources of documentation on the architectural heritage of Muharraq of which unfortunately much has been destroyed since the 1980s.

The site comprises an ensemble of five historical buildings owned by UBS which are bounded by rue de la Confédération, rue du Commerce, rue du Rhône, and the historic Passage des Lions in the prestigious neighbourhood of Les Rues-Basses in Geneva. In January 2009, UBS launched a competition for projects to transform these structures in order to bring them up to contemporary standards of use, functionality, safety, and energy efficiency.
The proposal for the Plaza ambitions to become a new type of public space in Seoul, one capable to absorb in one same place the memories and cultural heritage of the site, the exciting underground world of passages and connections and a creative and technological platform for learning and innovating.
To achieve this endeavor, we propose to keep thirteen standing columns of the former Japanese building as the only objects standing in the plaza. All other urban furniture are substituted by a soft curved rubber surface acting as seating areas for visitors who wish to sit and have a pause. The new surface of the Plaza acts as a platform to empower memories and nothing stands between the columns and citizens.
Memories can be recalled by direct visual connection with the former building’s columns and other cultural heritage around the site such as Deoksugung Palace’s wall. We propose a complementary digital layer of engagement with the site’s hidden meanings; a layer that allows citizens to receive digital information in the form of specifically designed APPs and augmented reality platforms that complement the visual perception of the site. The smart plaza will provide 5G WIFI connection for the better display of these services. The Plaza also wises to be a large mobile phone charge station. Electromagnetic fields embedded in the Plaza’s pavement create areas of wireless recharge for mobile devices.
