of the RAILROAD TRACKS
Project of 380
residences and their extensions
This is an architectural
project imagined in the town of
of the Morla torrent.
Beginning from the second half
of the XIX century, the expansion of the downhill town has been charecterised
by
the designing and construction
of large plants of buildings, with several different purposes, around
which the town
went organizing itself. These
plants have been the monumental cemetery, the neuropsychiatric hospital, the
major
hospital, and the residential
neighborhood on
Neuropsychiatric
hospital Monumental cemetary
Neighborhood on Carducci street
Major
Hospital

In this area, seeing the
diposition and the dimensions of the buildings, which are scho- ols and the Gavazzeni clinic,
the idea of the project was to try to define a group of buildings, on a
quadrangular plan, which would be similar in size to other plants of the town. I thought of
two rectilinear buildings of 178 mt. and 130 mt. in length, con- sisting of two-floor
apartments integrated by some common services, such as a kin- dergarten, a few common
rooms for clubs and associations, a gymnasium, a swim- ming pool and, a little
far off, a soccer field with a track. These services are thought of as extensions of the
residences but also accessible and usable from outside. |
