Congressi Bridge
The project reveals itself in the strong figurability of a “bowstring” solution: the bridge deck, designed as a horizontal structural element, and the arc that extends and remains suspended, configuring a large reticular truss that simply rests at its end points, valorising the relationship with the context and rendering the vehicular connections functional. The same system allows for connections with pedestrian and bicycle paths on the lower level.
Headequarters Angelini
This complex, with a considerable urban feel, is the result of an international competition awarded to Studio Transit. More than a building, the intervention represents an “urban measure”, that includes offices and general services (nursery, auditorium, two levels of public underground parking). All functions are connected through the attentative and calibrated articulation of the interior spaces, gardens and atriums. This “organic” intervention is tied to the city by reiterating quantities and original modules, though imposing a strong leap towards contemporary values characterised by dynamic and “unfinished” forms.
EUR 23/31 Uffici
An example, amongst the first in Rome, of a figurative attention towards aspects of energy saving, this building expresses a strongly dynamic value in a static space, conditioned by an enslavement to the primitive urban plan for the EUR. For this reason it features, with a notable emphasis on its elaborate construction technique, a double wall along the facade of the pre-existing building envelope, entirely remodelled on the interior as well. The result is a building that is typologically updated, and perfectly in line with contemporary figurative research.
Sustenable Apartments in Casal Bertone
This complex recovers the volume of a pre-existing industrial complex, trasforming it into residences. The project, due to its location, strongly compromised by speculative real estate, is defined by the maximum innovation and energy savings. The steel envelope is split at the centre, revealing the powerful expressive figure of the balconies: the result is a building-sculpture destined to become an important landmark for the surrounding urban territory.
Studio
Studio Transit is a group of architects, engineers and designers active since the early 1970s and working in Rome. The Transit's office is more a laboratory that allows for a mix of design, experimentation, management and, naturally, communication. Dynamism and simplicity. In order to express this duality, Transit coined the term Expressive Rationalism.
The underlying theme of all the Transit's works is a continuing tension that exists between a need for essentiality, clarity of form and the need for organic and fluid forms, more suitable to the contemporary condition.
Is in this light that we can read a progressive opening to wards younger energies and a more decisive activity of research and experimentation that can be found in the office's new projects.
