Concept is principally based on the development of two different paths, each taking advantage of its own relationship-world {phisic and conceptual}, but inseparably convergent. One is the formal and functional aspect: reality {the “outside” world} jumps into prison with formal “functional voids” and appropriate dosage of borders’ transparency {density}: infecting and permeating all the trail detention. The other is the introduction and enphasize of a “premium strategy” inside development of trail detention: as the detention positively develops {transition}, a wider and quality improved “exposure” to “external world” is guaranteed through different solutions.
To these concepts is also linked the functional “glove” alike configuration, which fits into its palm all the services’ structures and among its “fingers” all the penalty sections.
A continuous external embankment surrounds three of the four sides of the squared plan: inside this “natural barrier” stand all the offices {relationship, organization, managing and police&security premises and residences} and the one and only check-point to and from outside world.
The main building develops on three over groud floors and one partially undergroud floor. Each modern jail “cell” faces onto inner voids {big and bigger}, which funtions as visual connections and outdoors spaces for leisure and sport activities. The number and dimensions of these voids increase proceeding from entrance {south} to northern boundary. It’s also possible to maximize cells’ surface and also join two adiacent cells, in order to host 4 persons in 56 sqm {with toilet and services like a basic kitchenette and wardrobe}.
Plants functioning is enchanced by thermal mass studies, optimized porosity configuration of the building and by renewable energy fonts like geo-thermic and solar panels. So comfort and energy saving attitude are both provided in a general “green-building” approach.
