NEST is a thesis project for a school and cultural center in Montalcino, developed around four Key principles, from which the center's name derives: Network, Ecology, Schools and Services, Territory. Network, for the web of relationships and connections that it intends to create, in the social and urban environment Ecology, for the adoption of low-impact environmental solutions and the creation of an agricultural park, aimed at promoting sustainable practices and protecting biodiversity School and Services, for the integration of educational and public functions Territory, for the aim of harmonizing the project with the surrounding landscape and encouraging slow tourism, enhancing the local context. The thesis is inspired by the public design competition launched by the Municipality of Montalcino, integrating the ActiveHouse protocol to guide the decision-making process and ensure high levels of comfort, energy efficiency and environmental quality. At the same time the applicability of the protocol in the design of large public buildings was analyzed, deepening the understanding of its principles and evaluation methods. The research began with a study on pedagogy and the role of school architecture in contemporary education, proposing flexible spaces tailored to new educational needs. The project is structured into four buildings, accomodating different school levels and public spaces for the community. The volumetric organization of the area was designed to favor the relationship between buildings and the territory, creating urban connections and a central aggregation area. In the design phase, attention was focused on the elementary school, focusing on the key themes of the ActiveHouse protocol: indoor comfort, environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. The project involves the use of sustainable materials and strategies to improve the thermal and lighting performance of the buildings, adopting solutions to reduce energy and water needs. The result is a highly energy-efficient confortable and technological school complex, respecting municipal finances and local needs, with a future-oriented design vision.
NEST è un progetto di tesi per un polo scolastico e culturale a Montalcino, sviluppato attorno a quattro principi fondamentali, dai quali deriva il nome del centro: Network, Ecologia, Scuole e Servizi, Territorio. Network, per la rete di relazioni e connessioni che si intende creare, nel tessuto sociale e in quello urbano Ecologia, per l’adozione di soluzioni a basso impatto ambientale e la creazione di un parco agricolo, per promuovere pratiche sostenibili e tutelare la biodiversità Scuola e Servizi, per l’integrazione di funzioni educative e pubbliche Territorio, per l’obiettivo di armonizzare il progetto con il paesaggio circostante e incentivare un turismo lento, valorizzando il contesto locale. La tesi prende spunto dal bando di progettazione pubblica indetto dal Comune di Montalcino, integrando il protocollo ActiveHouse per guidare il processo decisionale e garantire elevati livelli di comfort, efficienza energetica e qualità ambientale. Contestualmente è stata analizzata l’applicabilità del protocollo nella progettazione di grandi edifici pubblici, approfondendone principi e metodi di valutazione. Il lavoro di ricerca è iniziato con uno studio sulla pedagogia e sul ruolo dell’architettura scolastica nella didattica contemporanea, proponendo spazi flessibili e funzionali alle nuove esigenze educative. Il progetto si articola in quattro edifici, che ospitano i diversi ordini scolastici e spazi pubblici destinati alla comunità. L’organizzazione volumetrica dell’area favorisce la relazione tra edifici e territorio, creando connessioni urbane e un’area centrale di aggregazione. In fase progettuale, l’attenzione si è concentrata sulla scuola elementare, approfondendo le tematiche chiave del protocollo ActiveHouse: comfort interno, sostenibilità ambientale ed efficienza energetica. Il progetto prevede l’uso di materiali sostenibili e strategie per migliorare le prestazioni termiche e illuminotecniche degli edifici, adottando soluzioni per ridurre il fabbisogno energetico e idrico. Il risultato è un complesso scolastico efficiente, confortevole e tecnologico, rispettando risorse comunali ed esigenze locali, con una visione progettuale orientata al futuro.
