L'Ortomercato è la principale area all'ingrosso della città di Milano. Questa zona è non solo uno dei punti di riferimento principali all'interno del territorio ma è anche una struttura che con la sua funzione di vendita all'ingrosso, trasporto e commercio ha una rilevanza e un'influenza a livello nazionale. Per questi motivi una struttura di questo settore dovrebbe essere valorizzata e sviluppata per le sue numerose opportunità, collegate principalmente alla sua localizzazione, l'area metropolitana di Milano ed in particolare il settore urbano Sud-Est. Ma soprattutto dovrebbe essere valorizzata per le sue funzioni. Durante gli ultimi decenni purtroppo questo territorio e le sue strutture a livello architettonico si trovano ad affrontare diverse problematiche ; il tempo ha reso inadeguate le strutture ed i padiglioni per la vendita, la grande area logistica ha un grande impatto ambientale e limita le connessioni con l'intorno urbano della città, rimanendo un luogo sconosciuto e segregato per molti che non siano coinvolti direttamente con le attività del mercato. Partendo da questi presupposti, l'obiettivo di questo lavoro é di ridare vita a questa porzione di territorio, partendo direttamente dalle opportunità che le strutture offrono, ma anche il contesto urbano generale. Il tema chiave del progetto è l'agricoltura urbana, che entrerà a far parte del paesaggio urbano cambiando il modo di vivere l'Ortomercato e garantendo nuove funzioni e nuovi spazi dedicati al coinvolgimento della popolazione e ad offrire una nuova identità territoriale a questa grande area logistica.

Abstract
Ortomercato is the main wholesale area very radicated in the city reality of Milan. This area is not only one of the main landmark inside the teritory but is a structure that with its buying-selling, transportation and commercial systems has a relevance and an influence at the national level. For those reasons a structure of this kind of importance should be valorized and developed for its many opportunities connected to the localization in such a metropolina area like Milan but expecially for its functions, always recognized for their quality and efficiency. During the last decades sadly this area and its architectural structures are facing different problems, coming from various external and internals reasons; the time made inadequate the structures and the pavillons for the selling, the big logistic area has a very huge environmental impact and limits the connections with the urban existing project in this part of the city. Starting from those brief but intense prefaces, the aim of this work and study is to give a new face to this characteristic and functional place inside a reality like the city of Milan, always situation of various transformation processes. The intention is to underline and enhace in a diffeent shape the already existing themes offered by the market, starting from the beginning of production processes, namely from growing, cultivating. Urban agriculture is the dominant element on which the project is developed and dimensioned, offering a new landscape to people, integrating the area with the context, and overall giving a new liveability of the market spaces, in order to gain a new harmony, that will find a balance among different elements: a new rural side of the territory, the old existing city in the surrounding, the relationship between nature and artificial tools and a new way of living the market spaces, in order to give a new blended portion of territory which allows to see directly the opportunities that those structures offer and also to live and learn the origins of the end products from their birth and budding.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
