The purpose of the competition was to develop a solution for the facades of four residential towers (12 floor height), in Settimo Torinese,Italy.
Floor plan layouts and vertical connections were fixed.
The only possibility was to work on the balconies shapes/size and windows positions.
The main theme has been to create a new boundary with several different directions in order to give to the observer the perception of dynamic buildings when the sun light comes on the towers.
So the design creates a new system for all the facades: for the South and West side (with the main sun exposition and the living areas) long terraces covered by a second skin; for the North and East side smaller balconies give order to the irregular shape of the building.
