“All grown-ups were once children, although few of them remember it.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince) Barrie’s Peter Pan and Saint-Exupéry’s Little Prince are two examples of the countless attempts to catch the shy handful of years that childhood comprises. Childhood is a time when reality is complementary to imagination. It is a crucial time that defines the deepest rock on which the corals of adulthood sediment. Childhood is a fascinating challenge for designers. Adults perceive architecture according to a functional logic: every space has its own use; every element has its own purpose. However, this is not how children think.

Japan. Land of the rising sun. It is undoubtedly a great star in all Asian countries. The jewel in the crown of Asia. Japan is much more than an enumeration of topics related to their type of life or cultural and religious aspects. The peculiarities of its culture and its people are the result of its geography and demographic aspects, without forgetting the two predominant religions: Shintoism and Buddhism. Apart from those topics that surely we have all heard once, what most attracts the attention of Japan for many of its visitors is clearly the city of Tokyo and its inhabitants. Tokyo, capital of Japan for more than a century, was founded in 1457, although prior to that date there were already small towns and temples in the hills near its bay.

No one can define beauty in simple terms, nevertheless, we know that its experience is often identified with certain qualities. Mathematicians – who, unlike architects, never stopped believing in the role of beauty – knowingly, and comfortably list surprise, significance, clarity, profundity, or ambiguity, as some of its characteristics, and they point out that when order takes over disorder, ‘all falls into place’. This pleasing moment is something that architects are familiar with too and it is a well-known step towards beauty. In our time, beauty is not a singular idea, as plurality prevails, hence we are looking for new architectural beauties. The task is to create a neighbourhood of shared and private habitats to live and work in. Indoor and outdoor places for people of all ages to learn, play and grow.

The Bayard station, completed in 1839, united Naples (Italy) with the city of Portici and was the first Italian railway connection. The ancient Bourbon factory has long been in a state of total abandonment: the vegetation completely covers the construction, preventing the perception of the volumes that compose it. The competition aims to enhance the building by identifying new function; the intervention will have to safeguard part of the previous masonry walls and foresee contemporary-style logics as happened for the recovery project of the nearby BRIN69.
