Il termine Wellness è generalmente usato per indicare uno stato di superamento dell'assenza di malattia. Il benessere psico-fisico è uno degli otto tipi di benessere che si realizza attraverso la progettazione architettonica. Questa tesi dà la soluzione ad un concorso architettonico specifico invitato dal ' concorso Young Architects ' per fornire un design di Club per il fitness, bellezza e strutture wellness. F.I.co C. a. a. B è riuscita a mostrare al mondo la cultura e la tradizione alimentare di Bologna e Emilia Romagna, stabilendo il parco tematico Eataly food. Inoltre si propone di fornire un Wellness Club situato a chilometri di distanza dal centro della città di Bologna rumorosa tra la tranquillità dei campi aperti in quarto inferiore. Lo sviluppo del progetto è stato avviato a livello urbanistico per integrare l'accessibilità al sito del progetto al più noto centro di Bologna. A livello locale il design del Wellness Club è radicato nel suo quartiere. Alla fine un interessante collegamento turistico è stabilito tra il Club e Eataly Food parco a tema. Gli edifici vacanti o ' per la vendità nelle immediate vicinanze del Club sono proposti con nuove funzioni. Questo rivitalizza il quartiere e dà una ragione più convincente per gli abitanti del villaggio di quarto inferiore per andare alla zona altrimenti industriale. Durante tutto il processo è stata presa in considerazione per rendere il design sostenibile. In vista dell'aumento di temperatura globale a livello intollerabile e le strategie edilizie di svuotamento delle risorse naturali sono state adottate che riduce il consumo di energia annuale ed ancora effettua il comfort termico e visivo per gli utenti. È stata adottata una progettazione strutturale del solido edificio in cemento armato in ghisa. Il design si è conformato alle soluzioni standard di costruzione energeticamente efficienti sviluppate in Europa. È un progetto che richiama la sensazione di rilassamento e rivitalizzazione nonostante la sua posizione isolata in campagna.

Abstract
The term wellness is generally used to mean a state of being beyond the absence of illness. Psychophysical wellness is one of the eight types of wellness that is achieved through architectural design. This thesis gives solution to a specific architectural competition invited by 'Young Architects Competition' to provide a club design for fitness, beauty and wellness facilities. F.I.CO C.A.A.B has succeeded to display the wide food culture and tradition of Bologna and Emiglia Romagna region to the world by establishing the Eataly food theme park. Further it aims to provide a wellness club located kilometres away from the noisy city center of Bologna amidst the tranquility of the open fields in Quarto Inferiore. The project development was initiated at the urban level to integrate accessibility to the project site to the more known Bologna center. At the local level design of wellness club is rooted in its neighbourhood. Eventually an interesting tourist link is established between the club and Eataly food theme Park. Vacant or 'for-sale' buildings in the direct vicinity of the club are proposed with new functions. This revitalises the neighbourhood and gives a more convincing reason for the inhabitants of village of Quarto Inferiore to go to the otherwise industrial zone. Throughout the process consideration was made to make the design sustainable. In view of global temperature rise to intolerable level and natural resource depletion building strategies were adopted that reduces the annual energy consumption and yet maintain thermal and visual comfort for users. A structurally sound building design in reinforced concrete cast-on-site has been adopted. The design complied with the standard energy efficient building solutions developed in Europe. It is a project that invokes the feeling of relaxation and revitalisation despite its isolated location in the countryside.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
