The project is part of an intervention more wide for the redevelopment of this particular space near the historic center of the city in Geneva. The idea that runs through the project is to provide a continuum with the rural part of the site, located at the edge of the city center by the inclusion of urban gardens, in which will be cultivated species that is chromatically materially similar to those of the countryside. They shall be under a light structure. This peculiarity of the construction material could establish a connection not too contrived with the rural part of the territory would constitute a perfect dichotomy between man and nature. The second infrastructure instead, will be ‘a so-called “signal tower” rented at the beginning of the pedestrian path that entice users to approach and find out in a flurry of curiosity the continuation of the section in which you will be placed in the urban gardens placed under the pergola. These structures may also be granted to other uses since the choices of materials allow total versability. The pergola have builted with the same material
of
greenhouses and therefore decided to use them in the same way by connecting the physicality use of the act that the objective of the project to establish a connection within the city with rural areas. It thus comes as a sterile urban gardening urban vegetable gardens and orchards.
