QUID Vicolo Luna, Italy, 2016
•Architects: Lillo Giglia Architecture
•Location: Favara AG, Italy

•Area: 1500.0 sqm
•Project Year: 2016

Named after its charmingly christened Moon Alley, the Vicolo Luna neighborhood is an urban quarter on the edge of Favara’s town – which is a unique web of dammusi, low stone-and-lime buildings directly derived from the Roman domus, of which dammuso is the surviving archaic Sicilian word.
This project’s target is to toggle on urban and social regeneration dynamics, to the benefit of such complex network of old and new buildings, of public, private and venue spaces: squares, historical streets, alleyways, plazas, courtyards and gardens. It is indeed a manifold interaction between public and private, leading to a remarkable degree of cultural livelihood and to a striking nightlife, such as making Favara stealing the lead from neighboring Agrigento regional capital and world-wide renowned historical city.
Based on such premises, the present project intends to apply a selective focus to ancient and ruined house buildings together with all their annex spaces, and to re-address their function to a broad range of social events: from cuisine to AD facilities (Albergo Diffuso, Diffused Hotel), from exploiting the charm of old, quant courtyards and gardens refashioned and tuned to a fresh contemporary feel to making best use of such warm and yet intimate spaces by hosting performance art events as well as resources and investments – A hub for energy to gather around a reborn, innovative and above all shared and community-based urban context.
The multi-faceted nature of this project contributes to an open, participated and constantly evolving, in-progress cultural improvement.
There are two dimensions working in constant interaction and synergy: preservation works and innovative architectural planning. The outcome is a unique, defined, wholesome and complete architectural standard which introduces and operates on several spatial aspects.
The nature of this project consists in the creative elaboration and multifold application of the old/new contrast on a roughly 1.500 square meters town quarter.
The first phase of the project is going to be the most challenging as far as restructuring works are concerned: works will be carried out for the renovation and re-addressing of a large noble household property with several annex buildings, among which maintenance facilities once used as tool-houses and a garden.
In the following step of the project, additional hosting facilities, currently work-in-progress, will be open to the public.
Having to comply with strict council regulations concerning the overall building size allowed, close-up, tailored, surgical interventions were carried out, drawing out and integrating with a custom and uncompromising approach. Materials and works were aimed at creating sharp and yet natural shapes blending in a rather blunt, stratified and crystallized background.
The present project has chosen and made sure to preserve as much as possible of the original wall structures, avoiding to disrupt the original lay-out along with the characteristic elements of the building: on the ground floor, two crossing vaults, the arches and the wooden ceiling and roof; at the first floor, the brand new beams set in their original sloping framework design.
From an architectural point of view, the target is nurturing a plus in each space, by using a minimal language, expressed by a choice of natural materials and neutral grey and white indoor environments, alternating neat and smooth outlines with unlayered, rough cement walls in specific spots.

Hastings Pier / dRMM
PUBLIC SPACE, PIER, REFURBISHMENT
•
HASTINGS, UNITED KINGDOM
• Architects: dRMM
• Area: 11720 m²
• Year: 2016
• Manufacturers: Roles Broderick Roofing
• Client: Hastings Pier Charity
• Cost Consultant: PT Projects

• Cdm Coordinator: KMCS
• Joinery Company: Timber Craft UK
• Structural Clt Supplier: KLH
• Furniture: dRMM and Hastings & Bexhill Wood Recycling
Hastings Pier is a public pleasure pier in Hastings, East Sussex, England. Built in 1872 and enjoying its prime in the 1930s, it became a popular music venue in the 1960s. The structure suffered major storm damage in 1990, and was closed to the public for a time before closing completely in 2008, and 95% destroyed by a fire in 2010.
Hastings Pier Charity oversaw a rebuilding project, with the pier reopening on 27 April 2016. The redeveloped pier won the 2017 Stirling Prize for architecture
Text description provided by the architects. The 2010 destruction of Hastings Pier by fire was an oppor-tunity to redefine what a pier could be in the 21st century; transforming the shanty town of commer-cialism it was in the 20th century.
After local stakeholder consultation it was clear the Pier would be expected to host many different populist scenarios. dRMM’s re-design master-move was to create a strong, well-serviced platform that could support endless uses; from big-top circus to major music events, local fishing to international markets. In homage to conceptualist Cedric Price, users bring their own architecture to plug in and play.
This is the first phase of regeneration. Most of the work so far has been up to and including deck level. The HLF grant enabled extensive foundation and structural repairs covering fire, sea and storm dam-age (£9M). Further funding (£2.5M) facilitated two buildings, the first of which, the remaining derelict Victorian Pavilion, was transformed into an open-plan, fully-glazed restaurant. dRMM were responsi-ble for the exterior shell and cores; the interior fit-out was by tenant.
The new Visitor Centre is a cross-laminated timber structure, inventively clad in reclaimed decking. Replacing the weakest central section of the damaged pier, it offers adaptable space for events, exhi-bitions and education, with an elevated rooftop belvedere. Reclaimed timber deck furniture was de-signed by dRMM and Hastings & Bexhill Wood Recycling as part of a local employment initiative.
The pier is an extension of the promenade from which it projects; a large public open space. The expe-rience of free space and ‘walking on water’ is heightened by the optics of a louvred balustrade design and quality timber deck. The new pier is a catalyst for urban regeneration. It offers flexibility, material and functional sustainability, and an uninterrupted vista of the natural and built surroundings of the special seaside town of Hastings.
