La situazione di crisi sanitaria vissuta a partire dal 2020 ha costretto a ripensare completamente il rapporto tra essere umano, casa e città. Se prima lo spazio pubblico era vissuto come se fosse una grande casa, oggi le abitazioni sono diventate un microcosmo che contiene una metropoli in miniatura. La tesi si colloca quindi all’interno del tema della riqualificazione delle periferie, tenendo anche in considerazione l’attuale contesto di pandemia. Questo lavoro inoltre analizza come il modo di vivere la città e la casa sia cambiato e come di conseguenza edifici e spazi aperti debbano adeguarsi a questa nuova condizione. Più precisamente l’area di progetto è quella del quartiere Adriano, a nord-est di Milano, oggetto nel tempo di progetti urbanistici e architettonici che non sono mai stati portati a compimento e tanto meno ne hanno risolto le principali criticità. La tesi propone un modello risolutivo delle maggiori problematiche legate a questi temi attraverso tre scale diverse: urbana, dell’edificio e degli interni. La prima fase di progettazione ha avuto come obiettivo quello di dare unità a uno spazio caratterizzato da una stratificazione storica di molteplici disegni ed elementi contrastanti. Si è lavorato in particolare sui vuoti urbani, trasformati in nuove occasioni di incontro, edifici e spazi dedicati alla città, a cui si è aggiunta una lunga pensilina dalla forma organica, che si snoda attraverso il quartiere e come un filo lo ricuce sia visivamente che a livello funzionale. Si è passati quindi allo sviluppo di una specifica residenza sociale che, insieme ad altri edifici, costituisce un nucleo autosufficiente dotato di tutti i servizi essenziali nel raggio di circa 100 m. La riflessione legata alle restrizioni dettate dal Covid-19 si è fusa qui con la teoria della Città dei 15 minuti, che suggerisce un’organizzazione dei servizi basata su una distanza facilmente percorribile a piedi. La residenza, approfondita alla scala degli interni, tiene in considerazione anche le nuove esigenze dell’abitare sorte durante la pandemia e presenta quindi spazi flessibili, spare rooms, spazi per la socialità e zone verdi. Il risultato è basato sull’idea che anche quando l’emergenza sanitaria finirà, il suo impatto avrà modificato in maniera irreversibile la concezione che l’uomo ha dello spazio e questo sarà lo spunto per la progettazione di città policentriche basate su nuove tipologie abitative, attente alle necessità delle persone e al rapporto con l’architettura che le circonda.

Abstract
The situation of health crisis experienced since 2020 has forced to completely rethink the relationship between human being, home and city. If before the public space was lived as if it were a big house, today homes have become a microcosm that contains a miniature metropolis. The thesis is therefore placed within the theme of redevelopment of the suburbs, also considering the current pandemic context. This work also analyzes how the way of living the city and the house has changed and how consequently buildings and open spaces must adapt to this new condition. More precisely, the project area is the Adriano district, in the north-east of Milan, subject over time of urban planning and architectural projects that have never been completed and even less have resolved the main critical issues. The thesis proposes a model for solving the main problems related to these issues at three different scales: urban, building, and interiors. The first design phase aimed to give unity to a space characterized by a historical stratification of multiple designs and contrasting elements. We worked in particular on the urban voids, transformed into new meeting places, buildings, and spaces dedicated to the city. We added a long canopy with an organic shape that unwinds through the neighborhood and, like a thread, stitches it together both visually and functionally. This led to the development of a specific social housing that, together with other buildings, constitutes a self-sufficient nucleus with all essential services within 100 m. The reflection related to the restrictions dictated by Covid-19 has merged here with the theory of the City of 15 minutes, which suggests an organization of services based on an easily walkable distance. The building, deepened at the scale of the interiors, also considers from this point of view the new living needs that arose during the pandemic and therefore presents flexible spaces, spare rooms, spaces for socializing, and green areas. The result is based on the idea that even when the health emergency will end, its impact will have irreversibly changed the human conception of space. This will be the starting point for the design of polycentric cities based on new types of housing, attentive to people’s needs and the relationship with the architecture around them.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
