Design a sustainable food court structure for the heart of a classical music festival

We’d like to take the opportunity to introduce you to the 3rd prize winner of our "Caramel Shore Traveler Rooms" competition – Alfonso Di Sabato from Switzerland!
Alfonso Di Sabato from Switzerland
I attended Polytechnic University of Milan. During my studies I collaborated with some offices in Milan and after my graduation in 2017 I moved to Amsterdam where I worked as architect and interior designer on high-end projects, from the concept phase to the execution. In 2020 I started a new collaboration in Locarno, Switzerland, where I currently work as architect, taking part in architectural competitions, public and private projects on different scales.
This is my first solo competition. I always approach every project on multiple levels and scale, thinking of architecture as a tool to understand the relations between society and physical space.
I believe being an architect nowadays is a very complex and intricate profession, so it is not easy to answer this question shortly. However, I think the mission is to improve the living environment and preserve our planet.
Architecture competitions are a useful exercise, essential for me to keep my mind trained. But most of all because I enjoy the design process.
Just do it!
