The Casa Plana project focuses on enhancing the principles of vernacular architecture as advocated by Giuseppe Pagano. Situated on the outskirts of Padua, it transforms an area marked by scattered old tool sheds into a cohesive living space. By retaining the traditional features such as the expansive roof, reminiscent of Venetian 'barchessa', the design creates a connection to local heritage. The building's structure, including steel 'V' pillars and a fluid relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, reflects a commitment to integrating modern living with cultural traditions.
Casa Plana emphasizes the transformation of existing structures to forge a connection with the local context and heritage, reflecting the importance of vernacular architecture.
Giuseppe Pagano's concept of rural architecture highlights the cultural significance of spontaneous structures and their vulnerable state in the face of modernization.
