field survey

locate problematic areas

more deep study of each problem

overpass + function (gym, cafe, shop)                             or                                                            pedestrian overpass 

landscape park (goes over railroad)                             or                                  broad underpass with public spaces 

analysis of examples | understanding what is necessary for successful solution of separation problem 

New activities and functions appear along the railroad, such as sport fields, sport centers, trade centers, residential areas. Existing connection points - tunnels, bridges and whole transport system is developed according to new needs. In this way abondoned and detached areas along railroad gain new quality, more safety, new activities and more availability. 

Triangle became part of future Bovisa campus, by creation of different conenctions. New wide path (public space) gives access to the triangle, also buildings of laboratories become connection by itself.
The tunnel which connects Quarto Oggiaro and Bovisa, is redesigned, and provides not only visual but also a strong spatial connection.
