Abstract
Piazzale Martesana gives challenging constraints and opportunities in the design development. From our observation and site analysis, Piazzale Martesana is one of a problematic area in Milan, located in an urban regeneration zone and urban environmental renewal at the same time. The lack of urbanity and the poor maintained buildings in the area creates a sense of ‘dead space’ and the lack of what is called the ‘sense of place’ which shows a bland and unwelcoming neighbourhood in the area. Provided these issues of the area and in accordance to the PGT Plan 2030, our intention is to create a vibrant area and elevate the sense of place, in which people are actively engaged in the community and the neighbourhood.
Urban Design Studio aa 2019-2020
In conclusion, the Piazzale Martesana Masterplan acts as an answer to the city for the new society of Milan, providing a great space to live, work and enjoy in a flexible and engaging manner. The design will be surrounded by trendy, iconic but structurally simple buildings, where the main attention of the design is to create a sustainable new choice of living and to re-invigorate environment because of the industrial activities in the past. Lots of common spaces, places for networking and socialization has been made to create a strong root and enhance the sense of the place.
Group 07
Our first step is to create and fulfil the housing demand of NIL 16 with three different targets, students, young people and elderly people in the site. Different implementation phases are carefully thought to slowly establish the main objective of the area. Adjacent to the housing development, public spaces are also important to create meaning and place an urban acupuncture for people. These chosen public spaces are connected between one to another to create a harmonious corridor from Piazzale Martesana to the east side, where you will be able to enjoy a whole new public space with an art gallery as the main point. Slowing down the traffic by reducing the speed limit in the location was a way to focus on the pedestrian, eco-friendly commuting systems and urban reforestation to answer the PGT plan.

Some areas of the neighbourhood are fully closed with high massive concrete fences, blocking us from observing each function in the area. Despite the fact, we can say that these are functioned as industrial grounds and lands for storage keeping. In terms of ownership status, all we can say is each of these buildings are mostly owned by a company with an existing label marked with a company name on the fence wall. Other functions are also available in the neighbourhood, including two supermarkets (Ins Mercato and Simply Mercato), a vegetable and fruit market, several Auto Repair Shops and Auto Parts Shops flocking the area, a gym, several restaurants and cafes available around the Piazzale. Other functions are available on Viale Monza as people will see more opportunities to sell and open a business on a main axis. On the larger picture, there was once a plan to connect one road from the west to the east of Milan, called the Interquartiere Plan. The plan is called off and discontinued. However, because of the plan, we are able to see large empty spaces in several spots in the neighbourhood that was supposed to be part of the development plan of the area. We can refer the planning status and the future goals of the area in accordance with the PGT 2030 Milan. According to the document, we can analysis the area regarding the planning regulation. Piazzale Martesana falls in the category of a high accessibility area. This implies that the design can reduce the space for parking and add more service functions on the ground floor. The index for the building is also changed from 0,7 sqm/sqm to 1,00 sqm/sqm. Piazzale Martesana also falls into two urban renewal categories, first, the Urban Regeneration Area and second, the Urban Environmental Renewal Area. This means that the design needs to have further measurements to justify the design decisions. Our preliminary design concept is to provide the demand housing in an area of a considerably low housing function – adjacent with the industrial storage and abandoned and old buildings. To be able to do that, our first option is to elevate the presence of the area and create a vibrant location to attract the intended actors. Redesigning and refunctioning the Piazzale Martesana is the most logical thing to do. Connecting one public space to another to create a continuous corridor from the west to the east of the neighbourhood. By creating the connection, we will slowly design the elements from the west to the east to become a well establish location with functional services to the houses and urban services that would be able to attract people to come to Piazzale Martesana. For example, elevating the presence of the Local Market and place a public art gallery on the east side of the park for central attraction.
Group 07
Our first phase of the design began with the research of Piazzale Martesana as our main point for the site development. To understand the situation of Piazzale Martesana, we began our analysis in a large scale of the neighbourhood, consisting of a block around the main point of the site to the east of the block. The analysis phase begins by pointing out land-uses and the area typology to be able to determine the availability of development potentials. Mapping each different categories of the site into several information was the main methodology of our group. The location of Piazzale Martesana is quite peculiar. It is very strategic according to our view. The Piazzale is central to several transportation nodes in the area, including two different metro line stations (M1 Station Gorla and Precotto), the main road axis between Milan and Monza (Viale Monza), several Autobus lines (Autobus number 51, 86, 174, 44, and NM1) and even a car sharing point in the middle of Piazzale Martesana. It is indeed potential to develop with the high accessibility to the area and no issues regarding long distance of walk in terms of walking radius. Several public spaces are available in the location. Several small active parks and the Piazzale. The small parks are spread around the neighbourhood. One park, quite large enough, is on the west of Piazzale Martesana, just across of the road. It is active from the afternoon until the evening with parents accompanying their children to play with the park equipment. The other existing park is a small park in the middle of via Privata val Camonia. It is mostly empty all the time with a small playground structure in the middle of the park. Piazzale Martesana can also be considered a public space. However, it is mainly being used as a private parking lot for the houses beside it. At first glance, it is not very welcoming with the existing large parking space in the middle of the neighbourhood. The function creates a forest of car, blocking the view from one point to the other. Despite the parking, Piazzale Martesana is active in the weekend with the existence of a local Market. The local market appears on the ground of Piazzale Martesana creating an active space where people buy groceries and other house needs. Looking at the buildings around the neighbourhood, it is very clear that we only see old building from the 20th century. It is also being confirmed from the morphological aspect based on other group’s analytical finding. Most of the buildings in the neighbourhood are slowly crumbling with the structures visible to see from the façade, washed out paints and old wooden frames. Low rise buildings occupy the location with the supposedly one square metre / square metre building index, deeming it eligible to be densified even further in the future. The functions of each building are not very clear to be determined.

The information provided in the graphics presents the existing land use on the area of Piazzale Martesana and the possible intervention spots spread around the neighbourhood. The method used to determine the data is through geo-spatial analysis from GIS information and documents related to the NIL 16 from the PGT website. The possible intervention spots are examined firsthand by doing a site visit around the intervention area.

The first image shows the building functions available in the area. It is noticable that most of the functions are available on Viale Monza. The second image shows the transportation network of the site area. There appears to be a complete public transportation system around the neighbourhood. In this case, Piazzale Martesana is considered in a high accessibility zone based on PGT.

There are different building typologies available on the site. The typology refers to the analysis based on the morphology and typology group of the course. The area appears to have six different typologies spread across the area. Each of the typology is mapped on the layout above.

02 PM Green Corridor Project Design and Local Action Plan The area of intervention has been selected by analyzing the Second Municipality of Milan and trying to identify opportunities of possible Urban Regeneration in the morphology of its existing condition. In an actual situation of a Post Industrial City as Milan is right now, the challenges taken into account have been produced also by a preliminary understanding of the framework local people are living into, underlining the necessity of the proposed project to produce solutions able to be positively impacting on multiple typologies of users, in a temporary (phases I and II) or permanent (phase III) period of time. Provided and developed data analysis, in addition to surveys-on-site, have shown a condition of paralysis of Piazzale Martesana and its surrounding, where a lack of meaning and a loss of identity of the place itself have physically determined the presence of abandoned areas and structures (brown fields) or even isolated unbuilt spots.
aa 2019-2020
Figure 16. The conceptual diagrams
The data analyzed have clearly underlined the high demand of dwellings in a vibrant and growing metropolis as Milan is: the most highlighted categories are represented by students and young workers from one side and elders on the other side. The Plan aims to attract in particular these groups of people, gradually introducing them in the neighborhood accordingly to the possibility of the adopted strategy: in a total period of time of 6 years (3+1+2) all the areas are going to be completed by developing residential and community buildings, new parks design and new structures for services. The I Phase works on the Piazzale, the pedestrian path of Via Val Camonica, the extension of the existing central park (by implementing its
Urban Design Studio
First of all the main goal the strategy aims to achieve is the reactivation of the neighborhood itself by connecting the identified areas of intervention (eleven in total) and linking them together by unrolling its design from a matrix point (the Piazzale itself) to a synthesis of the whole concept (main new residential park): everything strategically starts from the Piazzale, a big open space identified as catalyst of attractiveness for the neighborhood and bounded by the presence of a Water Distribution Engine Station. This peculiar spot, seen as the Heart of the district, it’s located along Viale Monza from which people can easily get by the Underground Line M1 (Gorla/ Precotto), several Bus stops (44, 51, 86, 174, NM1), car or bike. Its design has been shaped considering the local market taking place every Saturday; because of that an oval canopy runs around the main building offering itself as a shading system for the users and a direction for this activity during its happening while suggesting, without imposing, the morphology of the ground level. Here green areas, additional (and independent) shading structures, bike sharing points and e-car stations are located following the geometry of the texture and running into
As arteries and veins, two paths start from the Piazzale going in opposite directions: the first one, on the left, crosses the main road connecting it with the existing local Park and creating a reduced speed gap for cars in the length of Viale Monza; the second one, on the right, completely redesigns Via Val Camonica producing a radical change in its conception: in the sixteen meters of the street more importance has been given to pedestrian quadrupling their walkable surface and halving cars’ one by imposing a 30 km/h speed limit on it. This praticar choice was due to the strategy of the plan to get in line with the main directions given by the Piano di Governo del Territorio of the City (PGT 2030) demanding for a decrease of private cars use in favor of the transportation on iron. That is also the reason why along this pedestrian green corridor are dislocated most of the site areas identified and aimed to host the new residential buildings: shown by the municipality plan itself as high accessible areas, with building indexes variable from 0.7 to 1, they also represents a perfect occasion to revitalize a neighborhood able to drive a new input to a City that wants to deal with emergencies such as reduction/limitation of land use and overcrowding of them by its inhabitants.

Starting by this situation, the strategy of the Plan has been divided in different scale layers in order to be able to keep a wider interaction with the surrounding but at the same time going detailing also functions, users and properties in it.
its own game of levels represented by benches, fitness facilities structures and water systems. Important in its own sustainability was also the willingness to dedicate part of its surface to all of those businesses facing on it but without binding the freedom of the users; for this reason specific areas to extend their activities have been identified in strategical points to be able to attract even more people giving them a better dialogue with the new proposed asset.

surface and making it able to be use also by the adjacent school during lesson hours) and the areas along it (A, B, C, D, E, F); the II Phase develops the northern area (G) and the western field of the bigger park with its pavilion (H) while the III Phase completes its eastern part by providing eight residential and mix-used condomini (I). In detail A and C areas have been intended to provide Pubic Housing buildings while B, D and G areas Social Housing ones, both of them for young families and young professionals by estimating a total dwellings offer for an approximative number of 130 residents (A=12, B=10, C=24+24, D=30, G=30). Student Housing structures have been designed in E and F area for a total number of 201 guests (E=56+24+56, F=64), while Co-Housing typology for I area and 384 users belonging to all of these categories (48 for each building). Accordingly to the specific kind of residents every building is going to host, the ground level provides location for different services keeping all of them entirely able to be a valid response to the necessities of the whole neighborhood: while two Cafes, a Print Shop, a Laundry spot and a Co-study space have been located in students buildings, services as INPS, Visas, Assistance and Health Care points, a Welcome Center for foreigners (a dislocated office of the municipality) are mixed with small commercial spaces (able to be rent at a reduced fee) for young professionals or even local businesses while, of course, a major importance is intended to be given to the IperSimply market on via Mariani and the vegetable one along the green corridor.
come centers, accommodation and first necessity services have been identified to sustain the users the masterplan wants to base itself on. Later on, in its final development, the Plan offers possibilities even for elder people to be part of the structure, seen as an essential necessity for the city and the mixed community Piazzale Martesana neighborhood is intended to implement. This has also finally led to the conception of a symbol of unity for the entire neighborhood, easily accessible by everyone, as the pavilion in the bigger park wants to be: a covered space to study, meet, socialize, and develop community functions everyone can join to.
The Piazzale Martesana Masterplan is strongly determined to attract the new generations (18 to 35 years old people) in a neighbourhood able to sustain them and their necessities (especially in its first two phases) but also to connect the new intervention with the surrounding and the tradition of the city (+65 years old category), catching their attention, in a changing context. This solution has been adopted also basing on a preliminary study done on the society, the dwelling situation in the city, in the municapilty, its residents’ structure, its trends and relating all of this elements with the essence of Milan itself. It has been demonstrate that an increasing number of people is becoming interested and willing to live in the City; this is a migratory movement happening from other towns of the peninsula but also from other Countries, especially by relating this trend to the increasing quality of Universities and job opportunities in Lombardia’s main town. These are the reasons why the asset of the strategy aims to focus on these categories and their own members: international, AFAMs, far-from-home, Master, specialization and Erasmus students but also fresh former members of these situation who needs help in adapting to an unfamiliar situation.

Tha Piazzale Martesana Masterplan sets itself as a resultant solution of the new society structure of the new millennium in the City and the necessity it has by providing good space to live, work and enjoy in a flexible and engaging manner. Surrounded by trendy, iconic, but structurally simple buildings, where particular attention has been done to the environment and the energetic sustainability of the taken choices, opportunities offer for networking and socialization have been designed in common areas, courses and events contributing to create a sense of community and belonging to the place, without strongly imposing a rigid asset to the three main categories considered in the plan: 18/35 years old people, +65 ones but also local residents of the surrounding.
Great emphasis has been done by selecting the property owners for each area, leading to a double asset including private and public actors: starting by the study of the increased power Universities are having in attracting students in the City and representing a great engine for urban transformation it has determined the possibility for them (Politecnico / NABA in particular, but also Bocconi and UniversitĂ Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) to be the main owners involved in the process, at the same time with the Municipality itself (especially for the III phase buildings) and Private Agencies (Aler Milano). Extending the same logic, also the maintenance of the common areas and the buildings themselves has been addresses to these specific actors, leading to the possibility to offer several job opportunities to students, retirees or people in emergency situations still living in the City.

03 Conclusions
It has been a long way to determine the function and the location of the intervention. The neighbourhood has a lot of issues to solve and to think about. In the bigger picture, the whole area of Piazzale Martesana should be reconsidered and re-evaluated to have a wholistic design of the location. However, the limitation of time and the really large scale of the intervention creates a different challenge to the group. Lots of thoughts were done in the choosing of each site and was decided to keep all the possible sites as the intervention points and have a holistic approach in the design process.
Group 07
In conclusion, it is our utmost proud work to present the Piazzale Martesana as an answer to the city for the new society of Milan, providing a great space to live, work and enjoy in a flexible and engaging manner. The design will be surrounded by trendy, iconic but structurally simple buildings, where the main attention of the design is to create a sustainable new choice of living and to re-invigorate environment because of the industrial activities in the past. Lots of common spaces, places for networking and socialization has been made to create a strong root and enhance the sense of the place.

The Superkilen urban space is an interesting project for our case study. Our idea was to design the Piazzale Martesana with respect to the idea of the Superkilen with the play of colours and sparsely located urban furnitures along the piazzale. To quote the design from the website,
Urban Design Studio
“Superkilen is a half a mile long urban space wedging through one of the most ethnically diverse and socially challenged neighbourhoods in Denmark. It has one overarching idea that it is conceived as a giant exhibition of urban best practice – a sort of collection of global found objects that come from 60 different nationalities of the people inhabiting the area surrounding it. Ranging from exercise gear from muscle beach LA to sewage drains from Israel, palm trees from China and neon signs from Qatar and Russia. Each object is accompanied by a small stainless
plate inlaid in the ground describing the object, what it is and where it is from – in Danish and in the language(s)
aa 2019-2020
of its origin. A sort of surrealist collection of global urban diversity that in fact reflects the true nature of the local neighbourhood – rather than perpetuating a petrified image of homogeneous Denmark.”

The new master plan from OMA reveals a major education center in Dubai. The case presents an interesting idea of the green corrdior as the design of the master plan shows a connection between the design complex surrounded with an abundance of greeneries, plazas and open areas between the massive building. Based on the website’s description, OMA’s masterplan manifests as a “checkerboard”, where the urban fabric is organized
into alternating squares, arranged in three rows and six columns. The blocks have been defined
aa 2019-2020
along a 360m x 360m footprint, based on a walking distance radius of 250m. Individual blocks will be structured differently, inspired by existing successful urban typologies, producing different urban qualities within the masterplan. Within the office/education buildings, a central pedestrian spine will be defined, linking all the individual office developments and extending towards the residential blocks.

The proposal of the EU Headquarter’s entrance presents an interesting canopy in the design. A circular shape canopy functioned for a public use complete with urban furnitures gave attention to our project in the main Piazzale Martesana. The pavement patterns were also standing out and gave interest to our idea for the design. The brief description of the project, Their design will see the traffic roundabout transformed into a pedestrian plaza, made up of
concentric circles that gently step down towards the centre. A reflective metal canopy, described
aa 2019-2020
by the architects as funnel-shaped, will frame the new space. “A parliament is usually closed-off to the public, but Place Schuman will be permanently accessible, embracing democracy and knowledge sharing. Here, all citizens of the EU will be united under one roof,” said COBE founder Dan Stubbergaard.
