L’ISOLA D’ARTE A TORINO

L’isola d’arte aims to fill these voids through storytelling and introducing new mixed functions. The creative district is part of a mapped network of abandoned industrial heritage sites that bring together the collective memory of the past century and gives life to it but in a different way. Once attractor points not only to the populace of Turin but also the whole country for their gigantic power in the industrial production context, now the fabrics transform into vibrant places of the new day.

The network is a superposition of different layers: of stories, memories, activities, green areas, public spaces, noticeable city elements and aims to connect the west part of the city to the east bridging the gap caused by the railway lines.

The industrial area is redeveloped into a cultural center with mixed-use. The rooftops are transformed into a spectacular and colorful playground with a garden which people could also use a shared workspace with a view.

The Spaces In Between

Through series of interventions into the linear spaces that have been formed by the volumes of the industrial buildings, the project purposes revitalization of the area by creating new active public spaces and establishing a creative district in the heart of the city.

Vision For The Future

Carpark Playground - Project | ODS rooftop playground nspired by the danish Carpark Playground I imagine that the spacious industrial flat roof of one of the fabrics could be suitable for a playground. After I explored the city of Turin I concluded that the city needs more space for safe children’s games.

Citizens would be able to access the rooftop playground will be possible through the ‘urban platform’ that is a three-dimensional grid structure with lots of plants and areas organized so that locals could meet and enjoy their free time with a view of the Alps.

New Experimental Cinema

The city also has a part of its history full of mysticism - the hidden Egyptian influence and the obelisks in the streets. It is time for all the metaphysical to attain shape.

The creative district will house the new experimental cinema of Turin, and just in front of its door in the street will be an open-air space for projections.
