Requalification Ex-Navile Area. Bologna, Italy
Facade texture study
The proposal includes the urban regeneration of a vast area in the North part of Bologna’s train station. Based on the existing detailed plan, the proposal explores the possibility of strengthening the central city park, the permeability of the surrounding building blocks, the usability of public spaces and the quality of the nearby constructions. These assumptions lead to the determination of generating semiopen city blocks, containers of various activities embracing a solid green texture. The tallest buildings find a brand new location due to their acoustic performance, which both mark and hierarchies public spaces and entrances in a kind of standardized intervention. Different residential typologies, modularly flexible office spaces and amenities are located on the ground floors, accessible and flexible, all meeting environmental sustainability criteria.
