The project is a proposal by Italian architect Tommaso Casucci
for the new library of the school of architecture, located at the limit
of the old town of Florence. It is part of a renovation plan of a
large area used until recent times as convent and later penitentiary.
Pre-existing spaces are converted in archive, the new addition provide
study areas, meeting spaces, auditorium, exhibition spaces in a
continuous varying experience.
The project explore the emergent qualities derived from surfaces
modulation in an intensive fields, aiming to equilibrium states of
program, structure and function trough morphodynamical processes. Form,
structure, function and decoration are emergent qualities of the same
coherent system strictly related to his environment.
At a global scale the system explore how the modulation of
isosurfaces, based on intensive field from site analysis data, can
achieve highly differentiated spaces and performative structures. The
research uses a generative methodology to test multiple solutions based
on the same process from which was selected the one that represent the
best compromise between structural performance, program and connections.
At finer scale, surfaces porosity is based on triply periodic
minimal surfaces structures to define a performative interface of
bioclimatic regulation where irradiation values on the surface are used
to module light perception in the interior spaces of the library.
