Submission #313 | Iago Blanco and Daniel Valle: Water Pavilion — “The proposal for the Water Pavilion explores various water principles and the translation into an architectural experience.

Submission #189 | Luca Luigi Pirovano: University Island Competition — "The project stems from the desire to preserve the island's identity, maintaining the peculiar presence of uncultivated green, redeveloping existing ruins.
