Complex of San Lorenzo ad Septimum. Architectural contribution to sustain energy.

Within a collaboration and communication among different subject areas, the garden of the complex of San Lorenzo ad Septimum - Faculty of Architecture of Aversa - is the place chosen to prepare the architectural prototype of a solar energy system. The floor plan consists of the newly formed multi-cellular matrix combination wrench. This matrix unfolds in a process of slippage along the sides of the hexagon base and second alternating between full and empty. The formal nature honeycomb then a warrant for land for small samples, necessary to the custody of the parts and the housing of various seeds. This focus is in full agreement with the vocation of planting woodland and rural dwelling newly refurbished function on the example of the ancient convent of the orchard. This genetic parentage is able of establishing a dialogue between interventions distant thunderstorms. A dialogue laced with references and allusions to memories that emerge in the thick perimeter planted with greenery. The resulting texture reminds “viti maritate”. These are the hallmark of the agricultural system of Aversa, but also the reference cards with festoons that adorn the city center during religious festivals. The colored glass held in the dense network perimeter recall the statements of votive lights, and weld in this way, the religious origin of the ancient building complex of the current scientific university. Faith and science together in a common root of knowledge
