Since the need to renew damaged areas by human intervention, we try to promote new ways of intervening in these spaces from a more sustainable view. The contest, called Carrara Thermal Baths, looks for two concept: RE-NATURALIZE and RE-STORE. Let’s think for a moment. How can our actions contribute to nature? That’s what the contestant must investigate and propose.
Extraction, desertification, appropriation, (un)suitability, destruction… The human being has been developing their way of life with actions which are detrimental to the rest of the living creatures that inhabit the Earth. The quarries and the extraction of materials are clear examples. The extraction of materials has occurred without considering the ecosystems, biotopes, ecotones… this has only happened in order to find an individual consumer good. But, what happens when these quarries become inactive? They are areas where the human being has left his mark. Can architecture recover these spaces not only for our habitability but for a common habitability? What is the basis for this type of architecture?

Kahawa – Coffee & Books by Atelier Starzak Strebicki
Imagine a café, a reading room, a bookstore and a coffee roasting company all located in a refurbished former milk bar. The idea to create a place that would meet various needs of book lovers and coffee enthusiasts was a consequence of bringing together owners’ professional passion (for books) and memories of exotic (African) childhood. The space is divided into three zones that clearly illustrate this multifunctional concept.
