METAMORPHOSIS – TURIN – 2° classified

—

Vanchiglia, Turin, Italy

[2010]

The project is part of Scalo Vanchiglia, a more extensive urban concept based on integration of infrastructures with the context, in order to overcome their complex relationship with city design and functions. Starting from the configuration foreshadowed in preliminary studies, Regaldi Street, the small manufacture sites, military boundaries and hierarchy of structural elements are translated into the guideline of the proposal.

The rectangular subdivision of urban blocks combines with a larger territorial system characterized by radial suburban axes. The focal point of a successful project that combines shapes and quality of public spaces is obtained from the integration of infrastructures (new underground line, networks of renovated roads and urban park) and new residential areas.
