La tesi affronta alcuni dei problemi emergenti nel contesto della città di Milano, nonché il potenziale per superarli. La crescita urbana è seguita dall’inquinamento atmosferico e dalla scarsità di aree verdi, mentre l’acqua è riconosciuta come elemento storico significativo, visto come opportunità per i futuri sviluppi e riconnessioni. Il potenziale per riconnettere viene inoltre individuato nelle aree dismesse ed inutilizzate, mentre allo stesso tempo, la città non è in grado di fornire una sufficiente capacità per ospitare studenti. L’obiettivo è quello di trovare un’ unica risposta che si riferisca alle problematiche rilevate in precedenza, in modo tale che tali si annullino l’una con l’altra. La soluzione proposta in questa tesi consiste in un quartiere sostenibile per studenti. Sulla base della riqualificazione delle principali aree inutilizzate della città, l’area di San Cristoforo viene scelta per venire ri-sviluppata in un quartiere sostenibile per studenti. Precedentemente inutilizzata e trascurata, l’area di San Cristoforo diventa un nuovo quartiere per il numero in crescita di studenti. Allo stesso tempo, la proposta progettuale si propone di raggiungere il più alto livello di sostenibilità urbana ed architettonica, facendo riferimento alle lezioni degli esempi di maggior successo della pratica contemporanea. Mentre alla scala urbana il progetto esplora i modi per utilizzare la progettazione del paesaggio e il potenziale per la generazione e il risparmio energetico per il benessere di tutto il quartiere, sul piano architettonico, il progetto mira ad integrare la vibrante vita sociale con la tecnologia dell’edilizia sostenibile. Questo conduce infine al risultato architetturale – Parkline Library of San Cristoforo – il quale diventa un nuovo generatore di conoscenza e creatività, dimostrando allo stesso tempo un approccio consapevole e sensibile nei confronti dell’ambiente di vita.

Abstract
The thesis addresses some of emerging problems in the Milanese context, as well as the potential for overcoming them. Urban growth is followed by air pollution and scarcity of green areas, while water is recognized as a significant historical element, seen as an opportunity for future development and reconnection. Potential for reconnecting is also found in areas which are neglected and unused, while at the same time, the city is having insufficient accommodation capacity for students. The objective is to find a single response that relates previously detected problems in the way they annul each other. The solution proposed in this thesis is a sustainable student neighborhood. Based on qualification of major unused areas in the city, the area of San Cristoforo is chosen to be redeveloped as a sustainable student neighborhood. Formerly unused and neglected, San Cristoforo area becomes new neighborhood for growing number of students. Simultaneously, proposed project aims to reach the highest level of urban and architectural sustainability, by referring to lessons from the most successful examples in the contemporary practice. While on urban scale the project explores ways to use landscape design and potential for generating and saving energy for the well-being of the entire neighborhood, on the architectural level, the project aims to integrate vibrant social life with sustainable building technology. This finally leads to the architectural outcome- Parkline Library of San Cristoforo, which becomes a new generator of knowledge and creativity while demonstrating awareness and sensitive approach towards living environment.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
