This project doesn’t want to solve the problem of global
warming, nor to declare itself "sustainable", nor to save the planet.
The goal is simply to celebrate the joy of children, making them feel an
integral part of the environment around them.
While a pavilion is usually identified as a space with trees around it, in this case are trees with a pavilion around them. In the shape of this small space, where the design of the greenery and that of the pavilion are one, concavity prevails over convexity, literally enveloping those who frequent it.
Entering through narrow corridors, instead of a flat floor, you find yourself immersed in a topography that allows children to play and use the space freely according to their desires.
The pavilion is high enough to be hidden in the vegetation. Only the roof is slightly visible, creating an environment inside that appears like an enchanted world.

The project reconnects a new multupurpose common facility with the rest of the village. The church becomes the pivot of a new mirrored system of meaningful spaces: the Church Square, and a new connective space directly related to the multipurpose facility, with is finally completed with adequate surrounding spaces. In relation to the Church a sloped surface has the double function og making a place acending the sacred space and forming a sort of base to the massive volume of the apse. Complying the cient’s request of curbing the architectural impact of the multipurpose facility, a Big Wing on the main facade, is sufficiently wide to form a proper portico. The Wing in stone shingles, recalls the textures and materials of the local traditional architecture, establishing a dialogue with the nearby hystorical buildings.
