Tourist centre of excellence in Ariano Irpino is a proposal by [A+M]2 architects designed in 2017. It is located in Ariano Irpino Italy in an old town setting. Its scale is medium. Concepts such as urban transformation broken volume and section are explored. Review the 5 proposals for the same competition.

Due to site location and to the chosen architectural type, the new school represents a landmark overlooking both the urban context and the landscape. The tall buildings and the common basement host the requested program, leaving some open space in-between the volumes that can be used at every hour during the day. The buildings’ position aims not to interfere with the view of the closest buildings behind the project’s site. The new school, as a whole, has been used as an “architectural device» in order to link the two existing part of the city built on two different levels.
