架构师提供的文本描述。该项目位于曼图亚的历史中心，在16世纪形成和巩固的城市的一部分，也被称为朱利奥·罗马诺(Giulio Romano)。在设计过程中，首先对现有建筑之间的关系、不协调部分的拆除以及与体积膨胀的关系进行了一些思考。

Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in the historical centre of Mantua, in a part of the city that has been formed and consolidated during 16th century, also called the addition of Giulio Romano. The design process begins with some reflections on the relationship between the existing buildings, on the demolition of incongruous parts of them and on the relationships with volumes in expansion.

因此，设计更像是一个来自调查过程的发现，而不是纯发明的结果。从这个意义上说，语境的特征决定了构成的选择，并界定了与现有建筑的关系和联系。该项目的目的是协调环境的决定性因素，如面向街道的墙、分隔墙和钟塔。所以我认为这座建筑是增值而不是减法。最后一次也是最后一次彻底的转变。

Therefore, the design strives to be more like a discovery that comes from a process of investigation   rather than the result of pure invention. In this sense the character of the context has determined the compositional choices and defined the relationship and the connection with the existing buildings. The project is aimed to harmonize the defining elements of the context, such as the wall toward the street, the crenellated wall and the clock tower. So i concieved this building as an addition of value rather than a subtraction. The last and definitive transformation.

上下文的主要元素成为项目的范例。后者能够在现有建筑与当代“建筑制作”实践之间建立有意义的整合。此外，对我们来说，这个项目总是一个分析性的、批判性的转变行为。由于这些原因，我在街道上保留了一层的空间，从而保持了与公共空间的关系。

The main elements of the context became paradigms for the project. The latter is able to build a meaningful integration between the existing buildings and the exercise of contemporary "architecture making". Moreover, for us, the project is always an analytical, critical act of transformation. For these reasons i kept the one-storey volume along the street, thus preserving the relationship with the public space.

新建筑与附近的建筑物一样高，延伸到顶棚的最高点。这样，新建筑在形态和空间特征上被设计成周围建筑的自然延伸。

The new building is as high as the one nearby, extending itself to meet the highest point of the pitch roof. In this way, the new building is designed, in terms of morphological and dimensional characteristics, as a natural extension of the surrounding buildings.

材料决定了建筑物的不同部分。沿着街道的音量是抹灰，顶部有一个石头檐，窗户框架和暗天然木材百叶窗。内部的卷，围绕在球场，有一些不同的完成，如正面覆盖木板。室外部分不是用石头铺成的，就是种上了绿色植物。

The materials define the different parts of the building. The volume along the street is plastered and has a stone cornice at the top, window frames and shutters in dark natural wood. The internal volumes, around the court, have some different finishes, such as the facade covered with wooden planks. The outdoor parts are either paved with stone or planted with greenery.
