Rossi Sud Bioclimatic Mixed-use Complex in Latina, Italy by DRA&U Architecture

This project is a multipurpose building designed by DRA&U for fairground and cultural activities that will be incorporated into a plan for upgrading the ex industrial complex “Rossi Sud” in Latina, Italy.

The organic design of the flowerbeds, the walkways, and squares must be read as a movement in space, never equal to itself. The geothermal heart is another strong and important point of the project. The whole system is designed to disperse the minimum content of energy and self-regulating systems that take advantage of passive elements naturally bio-climate so as to minimize having the active contribution of primary energy production systems. In this perspective, optimization of overall efficiency of the system is part of the further selection of innovative processes that use the low-enthalpy geothermal energy to produce thermal energy for air conditioning and that in turn are well matched with an energy of the generation of electricity from photovoltaic cells.
