ChatGPT ha detto:

TERRA is a residential project by Scandurra Studio in Vilnius, along the Neris River, developed within Backstage, the studio’s research and innovation department exploring the relationship between infrastructure and landscape.

Guided by the site’s natural slope and dense vegetation, the design follows an adaptive strategy, arranging square volumes—isolated or clustered—according to terrain and light. The spaces between buildings form a continuous network of gardens, paths, and courtyards, linking private and collective areas in dialogue with the river landscape.

An underground parking preserves the ground’s permeability, while metal façades, vegetation grids, and green roofs shape an architecture that evolves with time and seasons. The aim is not to blend in, but to establish a discreet, balanced presence within the environment.

Sustainability is embedded in the project: water reuse, photovoltaic energy, heat recovery systems, and low-emission materials integrate with a digital twin that monitors performance and comfort in real time.

TERRA embodies Scandurra Studio’s vision of architecture as a mediator between the built and the natural, proposing a porous, adaptive way of living that connects soil, nature, and community.
