In the March edition of Design Diffusion News issued a lovely article about LAA – Lorena Alessio Architetti, with a focus on the remarkable Retreat for Silence project. A design constructed entirely in interposed plywood planks without any joints, made practical for sustainable purposes, but also to facilitate the relocation of the structure to any natural peace haven.

CasaOggiDomani meets… the architect and designer Lorena Alessio.
For the LAA – Lorena Alessio Architetti studio, nature is something regenerating, fundamental. Having direct contact with smells, sounds and colors is what inspires each of their new projects. But the Studio does not only deal with architecture, in its works there are also art, technology and elements of interior design.

Lorena Alessio designs with structural plywood, and explains a story that comes from afar. A story born by observing its use in a project by Hiroto Kobayashi, a Japanese professor and architect, who had used these structures to rebuild a shelter after fishing, with the collaboration of his students and the fishermen themselves, after the 2011 tsunami Today enriched by an innovative joint called PoplyHouse, currently under patent, to overcome the limitation of building a wooden structure using screws to fix the joints and bypassing the traditional construction methodology which required a lot of time to be completed.

Entropic Tōkyō is a book about the city of Tōkyō. A journey towards understanding a multiform and chaotic metropolis that hides a profound human order. The book proposes a reading of Tōkyō that considers the city as a dynamic system of high complexity, that can be traced to a set of components. It also identifies a connection between the physical world of chaos theory and urban morphology, and tells of the multiple faces of the city (quantitative and qualitative elements of the landscape, physical and sociocultural concepts) that come into relation by manifesting themselves through the urban fabric.
By exploring the dynamic movements that can be discerned in contemporary Tōkyō and the solid structures that underlie its roots, the reader will gain new insights into the exploration of cities, new values that emerge not from their individual components but from their relationships.

For a few years, the return to wood in the building sector has led to a renewed interest in the design of prefabricated and dry structures.
This volume is dedicated to the design process developed by the laa studio (Lorena Alessio Architetti), whose research aims to identify sustainable and anti-seismic architectural solutions, which involve the use of wood, in particular plywood, without compromising the interaction with other materials.
In this sense, the story of the birth of PoplyHouse is emblematic: after the first experience of the Accupoli project, near Amatrice, the field experimentation resulted in the definition of the patent for a new joint, combined (for example in the showroom projects for E. Vigolungo SpA and Eremo del Silenzio) to the innovative structural use of poplar plywood, the rediscovery of which also contributes to the protection and support of the local supply chain linked to this tree.

The 2021 Sustainability Award, organized by the Agency for Energy and Sustainable Development, is a national recognition that aims to enhance and disseminate good building practices.
This is a selection of projects already carried out in line with the construction principles of bio-architecture and energy efficiency: respect for and integration with the natural environment, control of energy consumption, the use of non-standard materials and techniques polluting and not harmful to human health, social and economic sustainability, technological innovation.
The Award, which is part of the activities promoted as part of the Bioarchitecture and Sustainability Week cultural event, is in its 9th edition in 2021 and concerns both ‘new construction’ and ‘building renovations’ in the residential, tertiary and commercial sectors and, for the first time this year, ‘public spaces’ designed with solutions based on nature. It was attended by individual designers, engineering or architectural technical firms and ATI, from all over Italy.

We are thrilled to announce that our new building CVC is opening today! The building designed with PoplyHouse system hosts E. Vigolungo S.p.A.’s new Offices & Showroom in Canale, Italy.
Through this project, laa explores the potential of the poplar plywood on the construction of prefabricated portal structures.
The whole process, resulting in designing of a new construction joint named – PoplyHouse – intends to apport considerable advantages in drywall construction. A project which combines technological innovation with sustainable architecture, develops a building that is sustainable during all phases of its life cycle: from production to assembling phases.

Made almost entirely of poplar, PoplyHouse is an experimental project immersed in the natural context between the hills of Roero and rows of poplars. Designed by laa – Lorena Alessio Architetti in cooperation with E. Vigolungo S.p.A. – on Comunità Montagna, UNCEM Piemonte (p.8-9)

In 2018 Accupoli was one of the projects selected for the Arcipelago Italia pavilion. In the same year the project received a mention from The Plan awards 2018.
Negli ultimi anni, il ritorno al legno nell’ambito dell’edilizia ha comportato un rinnovato interesse verso la progettazione di strutture prefabbricate e a secco. Il presente volume è dedicato al percorso progettuale sviluppato dallo studio laa (Lorena Alessio Architetti), la cui ricerca si propone di individuare soluzioni architettoniche sostenibili e antisismiche, che prevedono l’utilizzo del legno, in particolare del compensato, senza pregiudicare l’interazione con altri materiali. In questo senso è emblematico il racconto della nascita di PoplyHouse: dopo la prima esperienza del progetto Accupoli, nei pressi di Amatrice, la sperimentazione sul campo si è tradotta nella definizione del brevetto per un nuovo giunto, combinato (ad esempio nei progetti dello showroom per E. Vigolungo S.p.A. e dell’Eremo del Silenzio) all’innovativo utilizzo strutturale del compensato di pioppo, la cui riscoperta contribuisce peraltro alla tutela e al sostegno della filiera locale legata a quest’albero.
