YOUNG ARCHITECTS COMPETITIONS F.I.CO. WELLNESS CLUB NUTE PARTECIPAZIONI spa Destination Sports / Wellness. Redesign. At least 1 under 35 member per team. C.A.A.B. Open to Architects / Designers / Students. Italy, Bologna. > YAC & MARLEGNO Architecture is the branch of knowledge that shapes and structures places for human activities. It gives an answer to several and various issues, where solutions embody designer’s creativity and intellect. Marlegno is a leading brand in the field of design and construction of prefabricated wooden buildings, counting on a great expertise in the area of sustainable technologies. Architectural quest doesn’t simply resolve itself nor in a stylish, nor a functional, nor an economic nor a technological answer. A genuine architectural answer comes through making a patchwork of all those issues, where designer manages to blend and structure them together with sensibility and control. Nowadays no advancement is conceivable without taking into account sustainability; architectural design thus gains a pivotal role for both economic and social reasons. Believing in such principles, Marlegno opens - for the third year in a row - an international competition on innovation and sustainable architectural technology. YAC aims to promote contemporary projects that embody a temporal and personal approach to architectural space. Idea is the keyword, Architecture is the answer and project is the medium through which intuition transforms into concrete reality. Marlegno aims to involve talented designers by offering contemporary and fascinating topics of discussion. Such architectural debate aims to focus on space, environment, tem- porariness and customisation. Idea shall be the keyword, architecture the answer and design the means to the end. Marlegno thanks all the designers willing to join the challenge. 02 > BRIEF Italian cookery is worldwide appreciated and the very cooking of Bologna excels for many features.

This metropolitan area is a pivotal reference point for economy and fair trades too, counting over 1.000.000 inhabitants on the territory. It is suggested to develop a project capable of interacting with the city and the metropolitan area as well. • F.I.CO®: the project is developed by C.A.A.B.® (Centro agroalimentare Bolognese, http://www.caab.it/en/) University of Bologna and Eataly® (http://www.eataly. net/it_en). This 80.000 m2 indoor food farming / food market will open in 2016 where the current C.A.A.B. stands, hosting retail activities and learning spaces; visitors will be offered on one hand to purchase and taste wine and food products and on the other hand to discover the food production chain by visiting orchards, beehives, pools, teaching farms and shopping centres. Such a timber-crafted building is meant to become a manifesto for sustainability and eco-compatibility, hosting the biggest solar panels cover of Europe. Water and waste treatment and recycling is implemented as well. F.I.CO® will host over 9.000.000 tourists per year by 2018. 04 • Site prescriptions: the warehouse was built in the 70s to be a storehouse for La Perla trading activities. The current owner is Nute Partecipazioni (www.nutepartecipazioni.com); both to public administration and to the owner such a building has no architectural or landscape relevance. Due to a poor aesthetic quality of the warehouse, it is allowed both demolishing / rebuilding it from scratch or preserving / renovating it too. Current legislation sets: 1. Minimum distance from property lines: 5m Building maximum height*:11,5m Maximum buildable floor space**: 2600m2 2. 3. • Sustainability prescriptions: according to the philosophy of F.I.CO®, it is required to develop a proposal in tune with the surroundings and natural materials. It is suggested to implement passive cooling / heating technologies and fostering sustainable strategies for energy production and consumption for the whole complex. *(from ground level) **(no limitation on number of floors / excavation) 05 > PROGRAM F.I.CO.® Wellness Club aims to become more than a simple spinoff depending on the elite visitors of F.I.CO.®; this project aims to become a reference with a specific identity.
