Inhabitating Cathedral’s approach arches Design concepts Public promenade in albisola by 3s studio
Italian architects 3S Studio have converted a former railway tunnel between two north Italian towns into an enclosed pedestrian passageway. Steel beams arch around the inside of the Public Promenade and are covered with Corten steel panels that screen the rougher surfaces of the walls behind.
My project strategy Common causes of damp. Insulation Modern paints Cement render Gypsum plaster Ground levels outside higher than inside Broken guttering or missing downpipes Vegetation growing near the wall Trees creating shade and moist air near a wall Lack of ventilation - double glazing, no vents Blocked chimneys - fireplace blocked up, no vents Furniture against walls creating cold, damp areas
My strategy -Clean brickwork -Allow wall to dry naturally -Source of moisture remedied -Ventilation & Drainage -Wall impregnation if needed
Rehabilitating an inoperative railway through environmentally aware means, thereby transforming this area into a promenade that adheres to its area’s environmental constraints. This project focus on the safety of the tunnel works on the reef slope, including hydraulics.
water flow through capillaries.
The project encompasses the entire stretch of the retired railroad and its fixtures between Albissola and Celle Ligure (SV) , transforming it into an environmentally accentuated pedestrian promenade. The project focalises the nature pathes, view points, a new overhang walkway made by corten steel and wood, The restoration of the railway tunnel will function as a “container” for visionary art exhibitions and artistic installations.
