WIN

2023 – I PRIZE

ARX wins the first prize for the award of the integrated design contract, the coordination of safety in the planning phase and the implementation of the works of the new Casa Comunale in the Municipality of San Cascino in Val di Pesa, with Consorzio GST Appalti e Costruzioni.

The project involves the construction of the new municipal building in the basement of the car park called “Ex Stianti”, which will incorporate a series of services currently located in separate locations and then is an opportunity for a general reorganization of municipal activities. The building, which will occupy a building area of 1800 mq, will then be built in elevation of 3 levels, from the plan of cover of the north-east wing of the current building intended for public parking with access from viale Terracini and to the side of the retaining wall of viale Corsini.

The Calcinaia Bridge project reflects the needs of the Municipality, responding to two needs: to provide a protected pedestrian crossing compared to the current state of difficulty – due to the presence of two pavements of reduced dimensions on the current bridge – and to trigger a redevelopment process, through a proper rationalization of the crossing flows. The new pedestrian bridge – placed parallel to the existing SS 67 Toscoromagnola road bridge – becomes the natural link between the two banks of Fornacette, determining an urban continuity within the built-up area. The single-span structure, with a spatial pseudo-reticular structure with continuity links, determines a slender and light figure, which causes an environmental impact of conformity with the architectural presences. The particular geometry of the structure – given the non-rectilinear configuration of the geometric axis and the centring of the main beams – also makes it possible to respond to a search for visual lightness and to determine an original seismic response, especially in relation to constraint reactions.
