La Partecipanza is an act of sharing space. A Vertical Conversation on Space and Community
Its name comes from an ancient agrarian tradition of Emilia, where land was collectively cultivated and cyclically exchanged among its members. That same spirit of belonging and renewal becomes here an architectural gesture: the will to participate, to inhabit together.
The project explores how vertical space can host a dialogue between individuality and community. Volumes shift, overlap, and open to light, tracing the rhythm of daily actions — ascending, crossing, pausing. Architecture becomes a choreography of thresholds, where private and shared moments coexist within the same continuum.

Inside, the vertical dimension becomes the true connective tissue of the house. Double-height voids and suspended bridges stitch together living, dining, and resting areas in a continuous dialogue of light and shadow. Openings are never only functional — they act as visual correspondences, extending the gaze, suggesting proximity even at distance.
Perforated metal sheets modulate this rhythm: they veil and reveal, allowing glances to pass through, filtering light into a soft vibration that changes through the day. These layers create a tactile transparency — a porous boundary where intimacy and openness coexist, and where users experience one another through shifting planes of light.
