NS TO CREATE A TRADING ZONE SOCIAL NETWORK IN THE STREETS / MIXING SPACES

MAIN PUBLIC SPOTS

OTIUM

WORKING

TRADING

Trading Zones A space to meet, to share, to live, and to put people in contact. This is the idea of trading zone that has been a main focus for the Studio.

The project, set in the Porta Romana district of Milano, in an abandoned area, is meant to be a possible “regenera-

tor” for the city, strenghtening people’s relations. Combining a multiplicity of functions (public, working and residential) with the right density of the streets creates an invisible net of relations along them.

Different people (old, young, couples, students, ...) are sharing the same public

space for many different uses.

The street, as it’s a social condensator in many different cultures, has been chosen as the main public element which connects every single part of the big area of the project.

.2 Enhancing the tension between the main axe and the site’s axe

.3 Creating linear elements and slidings in order to give direction

.4 The horizontal movement goes up into vertical elements.

.5 The charged void of the streets goes up into a public platform.

Project development

Life in the streets The street is the main stage for public life in our cities.

Through the differentiation of “themes� in each street, different life situations are hosted and are involving many different social events.

A market, public gardens, bars, pubs, stages for music

and art and many more functions are partecipating in the creation of a lifeful and differentiated atmosphere in the city.

A public space for working While the streets are meant to be the primary public space, they are connected to a second one, which is enclosed in a suspended platform, hosting many different functions and activities like flexible working spaces and meeting rooms, sport and relax activities which are intercepting each other in a whole open space.

Structurally speaking, the platform is supported by the walls of the buildings underneath, which are dividing the internal space and sometimes are beco-

ming part of the residential towers growing upon the platform.

A completely public terrace is set on the southern part, hosting a basketball field and a bar. From here you have access also to the roof which has a swimming pool and is completely green.

Why biodiversity?

Why biodiversity? What is hidden behind this word? How the future of the city can be involved in biodiversity issue? Why do we need a bio-city? What does it mean rethinking the relationship between ani- mals and men?

If on the one hand the Eden myth offers a clear idea of a communal

life between men, animals and nature, on the other hand reality seems to be far away from natural world, not just as a matter of fact, but also as a matter of ethical background, and as a practical way of building the city of the future.

City vs Nature Looking at the city of Milan, we often see a huge gap between the internal areas of the city, mostly characterized by a dense urban fabric, with little glimpses of green, external areas full of green spaces, agricultural fields, not always controlled by men.

Presence The tendency in our metropolitan cities is to undergo everything to the human control, by leaving the marginal areas what is no more controlled by humans, like abandoned fields, buildings and undiscovered green areas unknown by the citizens. The presence of animals is almost impossible to notice, but these areas have been already colonized by them in a stronger way than what we can think. A serie of observations has been carried out in order to classify and understand the needs of the animals who are living in the urban context of Milan.

Coexistence Dealing with a non-antrophocentric approach, the point is to enlarge the way of acting, in order to provide a new way of living in which mankind is no longer alone, but placed in a more complex and wide scenario, made by nature and animals too.

Ideology If until now this kind of linear space, characte- rized by the water flow, has been a typical anthropized one, it will become a sperimental space for the cohabitation of different species, with the necessity of rebuilding the relationship between man and the natural world. By reversing this relation we want to let nature recapture this space, making men aware of the existen- ce of different ecosystems in the world: In this new kind of space, there’s gonna be a new dimension of urbanity lived both by humans and animals: we are letting a possibility for biodiversity to populate the city in order to enrich the environment and the urban landscape as we know it today; providing the

Vision At such a point the statement of Gilles Clément, regarding the Third landscape, was quite interesting for us. Compared to the territories submitted to the control and exploitation by man, the Third Landscape forms a privileged area of receptivity to biological diversity. Our purpose was mainly focused on providing a new kind of connection between different areas of the city, using the power of

water in Navigli. In particular the aim was to push towards the renaturalisation of this anthropized part of the city , used just as a landmark of its old function as navigable place. What comes out is a new “green river” made by ecosystems connecting different parts of the city, from the outer one of Parco Agricolo Sud, through the city centre of Milan ( the current covered part), till Naviglio of Martesana.

land on which it can establish and build its own shelters. This new ecosystem provides for humans the possibility to experience a new kind of landscape by walking through it as Francesco Careri writes.

some observation points are placed along the water flow.

Observation points are the occasion for human beings to stop from the other “flows� of the city and to get in contact with nature.

in the new great development areas of Porta Nuova the idea is to link to the linear park a new kind of public services to the new inhabitants of the city: urban gardens and spots to cultivate their own food inside the city.

It relates to a vaste number of spontaneous arboreal species which naturally grows in not-human territories.

In some situations the third landscape can expand and occupate bigger areas as parks.

abandoned buildings are used as condensators of biodiversity.

Here human cannot access and a grater possibility for nature to grow in a more wild contest like continental forest is given.

The project Our approach to the project takes in particular consideration the climate and the location conditions.

Since the project site of Expo 2020 is in the desert of Dubai we are going to develop an integrated and optimized process between design, structure and building physics.

The relationship between the place and our project has to be very strong. We had to keep in mind how di cult and expensive is to build in such a place, and how much the climate conditions are important. The basic idea was to take advantage from difficulties offered by the place. In the process of design, we first split the structure in two main elements with two different functions: an external parametric structure mainly based on arches and an interior envelope which hosts the exhibition space.

The exterior shape has been designed using a particular attention to the sun path orientation and the necessity of strong intervention of shading during the daytime, while the shadowed interior volumes has to be intended like a big thermal mass properly designed in order to develop the best comfort conditions to the visitors of the pavilion.

The shading system has been design with particular attention in order to accommodate the maximum quantitative of PV panels and to exploit stack effect.

Breath.

After the survey on the site it’s been clear that our “fragment” of architecture wouldn’t have been placed in the middle of the site, where the simmetry and the wideness of the swimming pool are dominant. We chose, instead, to work on the borders of the area, more precisely around the border with the existent Polimi campus.

Here we have found a more complex and hybrid space, its nature is characterized by different elements, details and hidden buildings - captured in our “storyboard” - and which contributes to create a sequence of spaces of different dimensions (sometimes open, sometimes compressed).

A first operation we chose to do was to bring the ground level of the swimming pool area at the same one of the politecnico campus, keeping the dividing wall as a reference. By doing this, we could also “hide” our intervention from outside, playing just with the topografy of the ground. As it’s showed on the choice of the fragment, there has been a modi cation in the section which allowed some existent buildings to get a new identity and use. Considered the strong horizontality of our site, in the phase of design, which took place by strongly working on the section of the area, we started by considering the already existing vertical elements of the site and by playing with them, reproducing a series of vertical spaces and architectures in our fragment. This verticality we’ve been emphatizing allowed us to give a different perception of the thickness of the space: air and earth. During this process of de ning the elements of the composition, the detail study was always taken into consideration, as it happens in a dialectical process: going on and back from one scale to another, so that through the detail is possible to understand the whole.
