The area of the project is located in the periphery of the city in South East of Milan and represents a segregated district. The area is composed from several squares: Piazza San Luigi on the North, Piazza Angilberto II on the south and Piazza Ferrara on South East of the site united by the street system. According to the project the street becomes the core element of the urban transformation of the district providing the quality public space and unites the new activities along its axis. The main objective of the project is to achieve the development of this existing area, improving the relationship to the surroundings, by creating pedestrian continuity to the public structure of the city and introducing a new cultural network to the site. Another important issue of the project is to create an opportunity for establishment of the new community, conforming the immigrants and the inhabitants of the district in order to increase the social security and generate a safe mixed residential environment in periphery. The strategy is to modify the infrastructure, by introducing the slow mobility system providing the new bicycle paths and limiting the car traffic in order to create the accessible public space network. On one hand, this network is characterized by the three main squares and the two secondary ones. Each of these urban transformations is mainly defined by a specific public function: culture, sport, leisure and retail. On the other hand, the streets have been redesigned in order to create longitudinal public activities interconnecting the main squares and providing the functional continuity to the entire system. The existing building’s functions become the starting point for the design of the public space. The areas in front those building turn into the spaces for different activities, supported by the urban furniture and pavilions. Additionally, the accessible ground floor has been redesigned into the cultural network spaces, hosting the community centers, workshops, galleries, studios, etc. The other choice was to enhance the sustainability of the area by initiating the green environment along the secondary street system, introducing trees and plants, as well as developing the use of permeable materials such as natural stone pavement instead of the existing asphalt. The goal of the project is work with the idea of a polycentric city and to create a versatile approach in order to become adaptable to the other segregated areas of Milan, emphasizing the linear structure of the site and establishing the new multi-layer and multicultural public space developing into the new center of the periphery.
L'area del progetto si trova nella periferia della città a sud-est di Milano e rappresenta un distretto segregato. L'area è composta da diverse piazze: Piazza San Luigi a nord, Piazza Angilberto II a sud e Piazza Ferrara a sud-est del sito unite dalla viabilità. Secondo il progetto, la strada diventa l'elemento centrale della trasformazione urbana del distretto fornendo lo spazio pubblico di qualità e unisce le nuove attività lungo il suo asse. L'obiettivo principale del progetto è quello di raggiungere lo sviluppo di questa area esistente, migliorando il rapporto con l'ambiente circostante, creando una continuità pedonale alla struttura pubblica della città e introducendo una nuova rete culturale sul sito. Un altro aspetto importante del progetto è creare un'opportunità per la creazione della nuova comunità, conformando gli immigrati e gli abitanti del distretto al fine di aumentare la sicurezza sociale e generare un ambiente residenziale misto e sicuro in periferia. La strategia consiste nel modificare l'infrastruttura, introducendo il sistema di mobilità lenta che fornisce i nuovi percorsi ciclabili e limita il traffico automobilistico al fine di creare la rete spaziale pubblica accessibile. Da un lato, questa rete è caratterizzata dai tre riquadri principali e dai due secondari. Ognuna di queste trasformazioni urbane è principalmente definita da una specifica funzione pubblica: cultura, sport, tempo libero e vendita al dettaglio. D'altra parte, le strade sono state ridisegnate per creare attività pubbliche longitudinali che collegano le piazze principali e forniscono continuità funzionale all'intero sistema. Le funzioni dell'edificio esistente diventano il punto di partenza per la progettazione dello spazio pubblico. Le aree di fronte a quelle costruzioni si trasformano negli spazi per le diverse attività, supportate dall'arredo urbano e dai padiglioni. Inoltre, il piano terra accessibile è stato ridisegnato negli spazi della rete culturale, ospitando i centri comunitari, i laboratori, le gallerie, gli studi, ecc. L'altra scelta era quella di migliorare la sostenibilità dell'area iniziando l'ambiente verde lungo il sistema stradale secondario, introducendo alberi e piante, oltre a sviluppare l'uso di materiali permeabili come la pavimentazione in pietra naturale anziché l'asfalto esistente. L'obiettivo del progetto è lavorare con l'idea di una città policentrica e creare un approccio versatile per diventare adattabile alle altre aree segregate di Milano, sottolineando la struttura lineare del sito e stabilendo il nuovo spazio pubblico multistrato e multiculturale in via di sviluppo nel nuovo centro della periferia.

Abstract
The area of the project is located in the periphery of the city in South East of Milan and represents a segregated district. The area is composed from several squares: Piazza San Luigi on the North, Piazza Angilberto II on the south and Piazza Ferrara on South East of the site united by the street system. According to the project the street becomes the core element of the urban transformation of the district providing the quality public space and unites the new activities along its axis. The main objective of the project is to achieve the development of this existing area, improving the relationship to the surroundings, by creating pedestrian continuity to the public structure of the city and introducing a new cultural network to the site. Another important issue of the project is to create an opportunity for establishment of the new community, conforming the immigrants and the inhabitants of the district in order to increase the social security and generate a safe mixed residential environment in periphery. The strategy is to modify the infrastructure, by introducing the slow mobility system providing the new bicycle paths and limiting the car traffic in order to create the accessible public space network. On one hand, this network is characterized by the three main squares and the two secondary ones. Each of these urban transformations is mainly defined by a specific public function: culture, sport, leisure and retail. On the other hand, the streets have been redesigned in order to create longitudinal public activities interconnecting the main squares and providing the functional continuity to the entire system. The existing building’s functions become the starting point for the design of the public space. The areas in front those building turn into the spaces for different activities, supported by the urban furniture and pavilions. Additionally, the accessible ground floor has been redesigned into the cultural network spaces, hosting the community centers, workshops, galleries, studios, etc. The other choice was to enhance the sustainability of the area by initiating the green environment along the secondary street system, introducing trees and plants, as well as developing the use of permeable materials such as natural stone pavement instead of the existing asphalt. The goal of the project is work with the idea of a polycentric city and to create a versatile approach in order to become adaptable to the other segregated areas of Milan, emphasizing the linear structure of the site and establishing the new multi-layer and multicultural public space developing into the new center of the periphery.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
