Abstract

At the foot of Massiccio del Sulcis, Sardinia, Italy, an open land, signed by fields, greenhouses and a low density development, stands as the geographical background on which gets settled a residencial program for a young couple reduced to its minimum components. That program embodies the form of an inhabited macro-cell, an organism that, out of a close relation to topography and landscape, establishes its ways to modify its longitudinal section according to the slope, to bent its body among the trees, to arch taking off the ground and to unfold to frame consistent views. In order to emphasize the specific relationship to the surroundings, its skin is called upon; it goes up to cover even the roof, suggesting the perception of the house as a massive block wrapped by a film, actually veiling its real tectonic.
