翻新前联合军事大楼
下载所需积分: 2
一座新的建筑按照当代品味重新定义了罗马历史中心的城市景观。位于维亚德尔科尔索和维亚托马切利之间的“前联合军”大楼的钢铁和玻璃“灯笼”从地面层一直穿越四层楼，直达可俯瞰圣安布罗斯和卡洛大教堂圆顶的全景露台。
对历史中心的当代诠释导致了对建筑外部的较小改动，这座建筑最初建于19世纪末，重点是内部和屋顶的翻新。外部的修复工作主要集中在恢复和提升建筑的原始建筑特色。通过最小化的灯光设计干预，突出了立面的建筑特色，为建筑增添了一丝现代感，同时与城市相连接。
“大灯笼”是该项目的象征，是干预的核心。这个钢铁和玻璃结构呈三角形，穿越整个建筑，包含垂直连接、服务和附属房间以及部分设备。“灯笼”创造的全高空隙沿着结构产生了一瞥，各楼层通过人行道相互连接。
作为屋顶功能的“灯笼”部分从地面达到最大高度7.5米，容纳了一个300平方米的全景餐厅空间。从城市的全景观景点看，被自然光照射的“灯笼”呈现出不规则镜子而非冰湖的外观，而在夜间它会亮起，看起来像一个巨大的灯。
晚上，建筑的立面会亮起灯光，看起来像一个剧场布景，气氛变化，观众可以从外面欣赏内部的灯光和色彩秀。
每一层都为游客提供了一个独特的空间，以装饰有不同大小和颜色的“气泡”的白色地板为特色，颜色从红色到橙色和紫色不等。底层设置为一个充满颜色、物品和配饰的大型集市，是一个宽敞而开放的空间，连接维亚托马切利和相邻的广场。
内部由福克萨斯设计，灵感来自儿童玩具，闪亮的元素。它们是具有流动形状的雕塑物体，大多由玻璃纤维制成，以闪亮的白色为特点。桌子、桌面、蒲团、展示架、用于衣物和配饰的“陀螺”，这些都是轻柔地嵌入展示区的。那些“陀螺”像花瓣一样展开，像艺术装置一样。椭圆形的镜子整体反射了内部、灯光和色彩。“灯笼”作为每一层的剧院翼幕打开。假天花板通过一系列与地板颜色相呼应的颜色照亮。一个带有LED灯光的玻璃台阶，带有闪亮的表面，连接并美化了空间。
在早期土方工程中，在地下室发现了一座公元前2世纪上半叶的墓葬纪念碑。这个墓葬由凝灰岩块和石灰华板组成，基座高于四米半，上面有一个部分覆盖的墓室。面向维亚托马切利的一面是一个重要细节，因为现在的街道对应着通往特韦雷河“葡萄酒港”的旧路线。为了保护和突出这些遗迹，设计了一种玻璃地板，让参观者可以窥视到考古遗迹。
A new architecture redefines the urban landscape of Rome historic centre according to contemporary taste. It's the steel and glass «Lantern» of the "Ex Unione Militare" building, situated between Via del Corso and Via Tomacelli, that crosses the four floors of the building from the ground-floor up to the panoramic terrace with a view of the dome of the Basilica of Saint Ambrose and Carlo al Corso.
A contemporary interpretation of the historic centre has led to a minor intervention on the outside of the building, whose original construction dates back to the end of the XIX century, focusing on the renovation of the interiors and roofing. The restoration of the outside has focused on the recovering and valorization of the original architectural features of the building. The architecture of the facades has been highlighted through a minimal light design intervention, which gives a touch of contemporary to the building whilst putting it in connection to the city.
The large «Lantern» is the symbol of the project, the heart of the intervention. A steel and glass triangular-shaped structure that crosses the entire building and contains the vertical connections, the service and accessory rooms as well as part of the plants. The full-height void created by the “Lantern” generates a glimpse along the structure of the various floors, which are interconnected through gangways.
The part of the «Lantern» functioning as roofing reaches a maximum height of 7,50 metres from the floor and accomodates a 300-square-metre panoramic restaurant space. From the panoramic viewpoints of the city, the «Lantern» hit by natural light takes on the appearance of an irregular mirror rather than an icy lake, whereas at night it lights up and takes on the shape of looks as a large lamp.
In the evening, the facades of the building light up and look like a theatre set, the atmospheres change and the audience can enjoy from the outside the internal show of lights and colours.
Each floor offers visitors a unique space characterized by white floors decorated with «bubbles» of different size and colour, ranging from red shades to orange and violet tones. The ground floor, set up as a large bazar full of colours, objects and accessories is a wide and porous open space connecting via Tomacelli to the adjacent square.
The interiors have been designed by Fuksas as shiny elements inspired by children toys. They are sculptural objects with fluid shapes mostly made of fiberglass and characterized by a shiny white colour. Tables, desks, pouf, display racks, «spinning top» for garments and accessories that gently fit into the exhibition areas. The «spinning top» fan out like petals like artistic installations. Oval-shaped mirrors reflect the interiors, lights and colours as a whole. The «Lantern» acts as a theatre wing that opens on each floor. The false ceilings light up through a range of colours recalling those of the floors. A stair of led-light-lit glass steps, with shiny surfaces, connects and embellishes the spaces.
Following early earthwork, a sepulchral monument dating back to the first half of the II century B.C. has been brought to light in the basement. The sepulcher has a structure made of tuff blocks and travertine slabs, with a pedestal higher than four and a half meters where the cell, which was supposed to be partially covered, rests. The front facing via Tomacelli is an important detail, since the present street corresponds to the old route leading to the “Portus Vinarius” along the Tevere. In order to preserve and highlight the relics, a glassy flooring has been devised, allowing the visitors a glimpse over the archeological remains.
