A collaboration was formed between the students and Cornell University, specifically the Cornell in Rome Program. This collaboration took place during a workshop focused on “Small Public Pavilion Design/Urban Furniture.” The design project revolved around a lakeside site that featured an existing sala structure, which had been poorly utilized and fallen into disrepair.
The objective of the workshop was to reimagine and revitalize the underutilized sala structure, transforming it into a small public pavilion that would enhance the lakeside environment. The students worked diligently to develop innovative design concepts that would not only restore the structure but also make it a functional and inviting space for the community.
By combining their creativity, architectural knowledge, and understanding of urban furniture design, the students aimed to breathe new life into the lakeside site. The collaboration with Cornell University provided valuable expertise and perspectives, enriching the workshop experience and fostering interdisciplinary learning.
Ultimately, the workshop served as a platform for students to explore the potential of the existing structure and reimagine it as a vibrant public pavilion, contributing to the enhancement of the lakeside environment for both locals and visitors alike.
