GUIDE THREE D 'exception for "DIPLOMA 2010" The attention that the Order of Architects of Varese has reserved the whole year Project "Award 2010" did not stop the enthusiasm and the desire on the part of the Order, to examine issues relating to the town of Varese continues to grow. A clear proof is the 'event organized by the Order at Villa Baragiola, a guided tour to explain to the public the 110 projects set up for the final exhibition of "2010 Award".
The first of two evenings devoted to this initiative was held on Tuesday 1 February (While the second will be held Tuesday, February 15) to guide the public, three professors of the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, Riccardo Blumer, Andrea Ciotti, Luigi Trentin that, within two hours, took turns in pleasing and engaging discussions.
The visit began with a quick introduction on how the Academy of Architecture Mendrisio structure of the year dedicated to undergraduate degrees: Andrea Ciotti
described in the present step that have characterized, in particular, Diploma 2010, from the construction of sophisticated and detailed model of Varese (made entirely by hand!) and the survey planning to highlight the focal points of the city to improve, to the places surveyed by the students, led by internationally renowned architects (the lake of Varese studied by Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus, Piazzale Staffora by Esteban Bonell, the area Ex Aermacchi by Antonio Citterio, Marianne Burkhalter and Christian Sumi, railway stations by Quintus Miller, Piazza Repubblica by Mario Botta, and Arnaboldi Michele, Palazzo Estense by Jonathan Sergison, Valerio Olgiati, Esteban Bonell, Cemetery Belforte 
by Marc- Henri Collomb). E 'was then to continue Luigi Trentin, explaining its role within the project, which is to draw together with Andrea Ciotti and Riccardo Blumer, a strategy-guide for the projects, identifying opportunities and limits of the city. And so it was. Among the problems, the teachers stressed the traffic sore spot between the city and the opportunities, green, and culture.
Riccardo Blumer and take action in stressing how it was necessary, first of all define the direction we wanted to give the city, tracking as focal points to develop, landscape value and the university, the architect also added that the time limits within they had to make (the project took place in just six months) had the advantage of maintaining a sustained pace of work.
After three introductory hat, the teachers guided the audience through projects dedicated to the city. The first reflections have played a key role for projects designed Lake Varese, for which they were made, under the guidance of brothers Mateus, models very specific, concrete, wood, plaster, students have examined issues such as redefining the boundary between land and water, they imagined large areas for water sports such as swimming pools which are immersed in the lake or a huge stadium consists of a circular ring. Their work, said Blumer, very reminiscent of the actions that Mateus brothers realize their projects that often consist of Subtraction and enormous volumes of excavations in the ground. 
second theme under consideration, was to Square Republic, on which students of Mario Botta has created a general redefinition of the square resulted in some projects, the creation of underground spaces, in other , removal of the theater in the area of \u200b\u200bthe barracks or in the enhancement of green spaces, including Professor Arnaboldi thought a new face to this space, along with additional small squares around the main one.
Students who, together with Quintus Miller, who worked on the issue of stations have had different approaches: there is who focused on the concept of station (train station or transit time), who has thought about working on the identity of the station of Varese, who joined the station by creating a new district, who has decided to make a huge park. As for the
Cemetery Belforte, Marc Collomb's group worked on one side considering an expansion of the cemetery, on the other the creation of an enclosed space in itself.
For the theme of a new library , Valerio Olgiati undertaken by students, there were projects that interpret this site as a place to focus, then collected and introverted, but also studies
a library as open space, with large areas not only for reading, but also for performances, shows, to live 24 hours on the environment 24. Finally, the last issue on which it is thought, the area of \u200b\u200b Ex Aermacchi , they've been working students by Antonio Citterio, Marianne Burkhalter and Christian Sumi: everyone thought to re-evaluate this space, creating a cultural center and, in particular , Citterio has designed a huge campus where they are concentrated space of experimentation, a museum devoted to the past, and student housing.
In conclusion, the three-guide Professors have expressed their full approval for this experience, which left the city of Varese some 110 projects, some, sure, maybe look futuristic or utopian, but they all are, however, some important studies on the potential of Varese and ideas that should be taken into account by, thinking about a future best for the city.
