The challenge undertaken in the project proposal for the new ISF headquarters is represented by the desire to insert a multifunctional building that accommodates classrooms, laboratories, offices, work and socialising areas and a student residence, immersed in a highly delicate territory such as the Tuscan hills, enhancing and valorising its characteristics.

Mitigation, therefore, on an architectural scale and of the detail to participate chorally in a null and non-existent impact. Inside, the spaces follow one another according to contemporary didactic logic. A simple and complex composition at the same time in which the relationship between inside and outside is always constant in terms of views and dialogue between light and shadow.
