The project for the Technological and Scientific Park of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna includes 7 buildings for laboratories, research, offices, an auditorium, a cleanroom, and university services, as well as open spaces, sports areas, and a cycling path. The project integrates with the local urban fabric, characterized by mountains and ditches. The masterplan is developed in two phases: in the first phase, 4 buildings, the technical center, and a central plaza with retention basins and a storage tank will be constructed. In the second phase, two basins will be filled to build 3 additional buildings, while the remaining basins and underground tanks will be used for recreational activities and events.

The characteristics of Pisa's suburban landscape – canals, mountains, countryside – provide the backdrop for the Technological and Scientific Park of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna. The integration of built environment and nature creates a continuous fabric that respects the agricultural heritage of the area. The masterplan reinterprets the local landscape, influencing the functional areas of the site. The Park will feature urban zones for plazas and gathering, and natural zones for environmental and recreational purposes. The campus, surrounded by a perimeter road, includes shaded parking, an integrated cycling path, and a central plaza for events. Loading/unloading zones serve the laboratories, while charging stations and bike racks encourage electric and bicycle mobility.
The project adheres to environmental sustainability and well-being criteria, with appropriate lighting, temperature and humidity control, acoustic protection, ergonomics, and air exchange. It focuses on three themes: CO2 reduction with façade materials, heat island reduction, and the use of photovoltaic panels. The facades made of prefabricated geopolymer concrete panels reduce carbon emissions by 70%. Large green spaces in the central walkway reduce the heat island effect. Photovoltaic panels on the roofs store solar energy. Anti-VOC materials improve environmental quality.
The site plan is based on a zigzag line that crosses the entire lot from East to West, promoting spatial dynamism through compressions and expansions characterized by a gradual and continuous discovery of the campus. The buildings are rotated relative to the main alignment line to open the view from the pathway to the outside, establishing a strong visual connection between the project and its landscape context. Access to the lot is via a ramp between two sloping lawns, ending at a reflecting pool that dominates the scene by mirroring the buildings and the sky. The rotation of the buildings is designed to enhance the visual connection with the nearby Pisan mountains, creating a direct relationship between the visitors of the technological park and the surrounding landscape.
The Technological and Scientific Park of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna project is an excellent example of integration between architecture, landscape, and sustainability. Its configuration respects and enhances the area's unique characteristics, promoting sustainable mobility and energy efficiency. Through the use of innovative materials and the creation of multifunctional spaces, the park aims to become a hub of research and innovation that combines environmental well-being and quality of life
