A New Proposal for East-Side Milan Railway Embankment

Supervisor: Andrea Tartaglia

Academic Project - Individual Milan, Italy

In this research project the presence of railways in cities and the inevitable consequences they bring to urban area has been critically rethought through the lens of architecture. Railway primarily is considered a mobility infrastructure and one of the most significant part of transportation system in modern cities. Nevertheless, their form and function is fundamentally based on technical codes for trains and mobility system. This coupled with essential constructive codes, make railways a series of generic objects bearing the same look all over the world. Therefore, irrespective of the urban area they are located, the spatial issues created by railways tend to fall into the same categories of problems. Hence this thesis tries to turn railway into a project of architecture initiating a critical analysis on the railway in East-Side Milan following by an alternative typology for railway embankment in city.

The main issue addressed by this project is the problem of typology in architecture combined with the most important aspects of mobility that create a basis by which a meta project is envisioned. This project which is conceived in a conceptual site creates the basis for the final project dealing with the railway in east-side Milan. In this proposal all the theories and hypothesis discussed in the primary analysis have been realized in two different zones of east-side Milan to understand how the new proposed typology is able to transform the real situation of the railway in a city like Milan.
