Monte Voltraio
In cammino tra passato e futuro
The Monte Voltraio is located 6 km from Volterra and 30 km from San Gimignano, in a world-renowned tourist region of Tuscany. The objectives of our summer design studio can be summarized as follows:
- Using qualitative object-planning strategies to profile the strengths of a place at the regional level.
- Strengthening the interface between Monte Voltraio and Villa Palagione as a cultural center.
- Employing contemporary design language as a means to preserve existing elements while making them perceptible.
- Developing a contemporary and attractive information system to make the history of a place tangible and thus communicable.
And, as is the case every semester in every studio, the first didactic goal is: to bring out the best in each group member, whether they are teachers, advisors, or students, in order to achieve the best possible planning outcome. Only the talents of each individual, optimally interwoven in a systemic way, contribute to a sustainable solution strategy!
