Corippo Poetry Hall

A civic hall and two domestic volumes explore how a public room can belong to a steep village landscape.

Academic proposal — Unbuilt

Date / period
Fall 2026
Place
Corippo, Switzerland
Contribution
Adam Scott, individual academic building design.

The house + hall + house parti brings a reading and acoustic-event space into relation with village houses and a terraced slope. The design develops through plan, section, roof structure and connected routes.

The September 15 v031 drawing set records the selected lower-story scheme through plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and coordination sheets. Seventeen complete sheets are available below; the first four introduce the proposal before the supporting set.

These are academic design and model exports, not verified construction documents. Accessibility, egress, structure, moisture control, acoustics and environmental performance remain unresolved technical questions.

A hall in the landscape

Read the exterior first, then the entrance level: the design joins a collective room to a steep village setting.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Exterior

Exterior: the hall sits between two smaller house-like volumes on the terraced slope.

Corippo Poetry Hall: First floor

First-floor plan: trace the arrival spaces and their connection to the hall.

Space across levels

The section and exploded view connect the hall’s height, circulation and supporting rooms. These remain academic design studies.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Transverse hall

Transverse hall section: compare the roof structure, flat ceiling and lower occupied level.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Exploded axon

Exploded axonometric: roof, enclosure and floors are separated to show their relationship.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Basement

Lower-level plan: occupied rooms and support spaces are distinguished from retained earth and fill.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Writer floor

Writer-level plan: compare the smaller retreat with the shared hall below.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Area plan

Area plan: locate the ensemble and its connections within the village slope.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Downhill west

Downhill/west section: follow the stepped levels where building and ground meet.

Corippo Poetry Hall: North elevation

North elevation: compare the three gabled volumes and their entrance edges.

Corippo Poetry Hall: South elevation

South elevation: read the openings and the exposed lower level across the slope.

Corippo Poetry Hall: East elevation

East elevation: the side view makes the change in ground level visible.

Corippo Poetry Hall: West elevation

West elevation: compare this edge with the opposite side and the circulation notes.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Roof wall ceiling

Roof/wall/ceiling study: schematic junctions explain design intentions; technical resolution remains open.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Interior

Interior perspective: the flat coffered ceiling gives the hall a distinct enclosure below its roof.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Environment

Environmental study: proposed strategies are diagrammed, without measured performance claims.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Reflected ceiling

Reflected ceiling plan: compare the ceiling organization with the occupied plan.

Corippo Poetry Hall: Lift coordination

Lift coordination: compare served levels and clearances; the drawing does not establish accessibility compliance.
