Render Thesis Bachelor _ Render Tesi Triennale

Renders from my Thesis "Library in Pigneto, Rome"
Here are some renders from my thesis of the Bachelor Degree. The project is a library/mediatheque in the area of Pigneto in Rome, Italy. The building consists of a main cube containing the mediatheque functions such as a computer room, childrens interaction area, cinema and conference room. This part of the building is covered with semi-transparent panels containing writing in different languages, allowing a soft light to enter the building. The Library part, on the other hand is a slightly bended boomerang shape that penetrates the mediatheque cube. The material is characterized by moving breisoleil that react depending on the position of the sun and its' intensity, preventing the building to get overheated in the warm months of the year. The main wind directions have been studied and shallow ponds of water have been placed in the areas of the prevailing wind, cooling the surrounding walking areas as well as the surface of the building.
An opening in correspondence to the stairway and entrance allows the light and to flow throughout the reception and the rest of the building.
Openings are strategically placed in order to create a natural flow of air inside the building.
