A pályamű leírása:
Memory of a ruin, common timeless memories
The project consists in the reinterpretation of the local craft beer tradition following the functional conversion of the forgotten ruins of the city into a micro-brewery that reminds of the memory of the beer cellars one century ago. The ruins that lay underneath the actual city foundations have their own purpose - of defense and another - systematic one belonging to the actual context or to the moment that it remains in the local memory. In terms of memory, they are the witness that took part of the actual city rising and gave birth to all the ruins functions throughout time. I grew up surrounded by the ruins, exploring them with the humble understanding of a child. The light and shadow were creating the mysterious shelter of an unknown playful Universe.
Besides the bar and the underground cellar, there is a tower of light, an street infill space production brewery and from the old existing house, now divided in two, a new ground floor and attic vacation rental. The bar and beer cellar are grounded on the old cellar print keeping as memory the old wooden roof structure as an omnipresent, nonfunctional but memorial object. The new proposed architecture stands by the creation of a structural visual harmony between the new with a contemporary expression and the secular old one. The tower rises tender from the ruins, with a respect towards the place history, keeping its memory.
The used material is wood and it completes the memory of the old used material at the interior buildings of the fortress. Its inner core is characterized by a symbolic vertical promenade with accesses from the lower courtyard and the upper one. The way is occasionally interrupted by horizontal platforms oriented towards main city places and courtyard.
The old known with a fragile character, always dominated by the actual city entity has to be transformed, through known intentions into a new unknown. As an individual element, and without the continuity of a ruin complex, it stands unbalanced.The spatial configuration of the new object follows the vertical, the same vertical of the tower function and it will watch over the city as an representative landmark.
