320 The pedestrian boulevard from the north of the project area
Monument in fertile country Team point of view The contemporary city highlights the difficulties of achieving direct connection between areas and establishing a homogeneous image. Urban rhythms dictate shared choices; these have to provide flexibility in managing the designed spaces. In our project, adaptability becomes a feature because it does not erase what is already there. The project creates an order in which even the commercial buildings can be relocated within a context of mixed functions. The aim of this process of phased construction for the single elements along with the infrastructural transformations is to achieve a finished shape. Monument in fertile country is not a single entity but a sequence of individual operations, which allows space for identifying new situations. Jury point of view The project proposes detailed research into the surroundings and the existing buildings, from whose typologies a new and complex city is formed. A collage of coherent patterns maps the historical farming plots. Elevated pedestrian bridges provide a connection to the surroundings.
Reconstituting the ‘medieval plot’
Functional stratigraphical development and flow’s distribution
Mixity: office ‘blades’; commercial ‘rocks’; residential ‘prisms’
