1. Analisys | understanding of the tasks
task: revitalise unused areas along railroad
task: bring activities to abandoned areas
task: make place more safe and available
field survey
locate problematic areas
more deep study of each problem
2. Opportunities | looking for possible solutions
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
3.Proposal
General strategy
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.
Integration of urban enclave (triangle)
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.
