This is the masterplan i made the second year of my bachelor degree in Genoa.The project was to realize a green "lung" in the ex-steel industry in Cornigliano, both giving a new identity to the place that has been for long constituted by the industry and a recreational area to the citizens.
In particular the project included: a new trainstation,new shopping mall with cars parkings, skateboard park, recreational areas, squares, structures for sport activities, concert area and "belvedere" on the river where the habitat of protected species would have been restabilized.
I really liked working on this project because we explored the meaning of multyfunctional park: this included commercial activities, public transports and access, recreational issue, flora and fauna preservation. But it was also very interesting because we had the possibility of a direct dibate with the architects from the Public Administration.

Hey Simona
ReplyDeleteNice to see your project. Let us discuss the multifunctional park of the appearing landscapes, in debate with all kind of voices, texts and may be even planners of Jæren. Look up how Alex Wall sums up his position in my text Encircling the Field. Under here I put in my former mailtext to you – OK?
“We had a nice conversation on how you could enter the first theme Encircling the Field by taking your own work, training and thougts
into Jæren. Your park experience in urban situations in Italy can be enhanced to a portfolio, a collection of parks on all scales. From the smallest water biotope park,
to a neighbourhood park, to a city park, to an event park, to an agricultural park, to a national park and so on. You could even explore the parks of Jæren today in this bar-code of parks.
This is interesting: because in a way we can see the whole Jæren as a human construct, a bar-code of parks of different meaning, productivity and experience. May be a little like the Dutch landscape. Continuosly man made with grand efforts, energy and planning. Reinhard Knopf from Helen and Hard describes both the landscape and the organization of the Jæren landscape and farmland with reference to the Tuscan Landscape, which you must now very well. H&H is now designing the Norwegian pavilion at the world expo in Stavanger, where Norwegian nature and biotopes is going to be exhibited (man made).
Such a research from your side can be highly informative for you as a first step, with your background and for the whole studio”.
