Case Studies
When faced with the challenge of building a workshop slap bang in the middle of a flood plain, Swiss architects Pia Durisch and Aldo Nolli of Durisch + Nolli Architetti chose the path of least resistance, and put their building on stilts. Set on a single concrete slab sitting on 68 slim pillars, the SSIC college is located in Gordola, near Ticino’s Lake Maggiore. The structure is clad in a shimmering skin of inox steel, which contrasts beautifully with the muted greens of the surrounding plain and mountains.
