La piazza commerciale è posizionata lungo l’asse perpendicolare
alla diagonale principale di progetto. Attorno ad essa sorgono
attività commerciali e professionali e lo spazio è usufruibile anche
d’estate grazie ai numerosi ombreggiamenti progettati (in alto)
The commercial square is located on the axis perpendicular to
the main diagonal of the project. Around it there are commercial
and professional activities and the public space can be used even
in summer thanks to the shadings designed (above)
L’auditorium, che si affaccia sulla piazza dello spettacolo, ha una
linea particolare e distintiva che incorpora anche una parte esterna –
scavata nel terreno – adibita ad attività sportive e spettacoli all’aperto
The auditorium, which overlooks the entertainment square, has a
particular and distinctive line, which includes an outer part – dug
in the ground – used for sport activities and outdoor performances
The project started from
instances and issues identified
in the competition brief,
in addition to the aspects
pointed out during site views.
In particular the high traffic
flow, the size of road sections
and the problems related to
parking emerged as negative
factors. Another central theme
was the request to create an
institutional "hub" near the
Town Hall with a square as a
central element. The presence
of abandoned buildings was
an opportunity to design
a project characterized by
no soil consumption and
energy efficiency. Regarding
the functions the objective
was to create an attractive
neighbourhood, so strategies
have focused on the design of
multifunctional buildings. The
auditorium is the architectural
and spatial core of the entire
project placed in the centre of
the masterplan. Considering
the mobility system the main
goal that has been identified
is to reconfigure the road
network, the parking system
and the slow mobility network
composed of a diagonal axis
and two main crossing paths.
To create a comprehensive and
interconnected public spaces
system the project provides
four squares along the two
diagonal paths of the project,
a central area around which
the residential buildings, a
park and public gardens are
gathered. The Innovation
square is characterized by
the presence of a water body
and of the chimney. The
Commercial square is set up
with chairs and roofings as a
wide space interfaced with the
main retails. The Entertainment
square is linked both
functionally and architecturally
with the auditorium, taking
