CONCEPT
accessibility and buffer mecenate neighbourhood situates between the urban and rural area of milan. new public transportation development will allow more population passing by neighbourhood and it will increase the possibility of brining more people to the site. in order to attract more people to the site, the role of via quintiliano and via salomone becomes important.
Crack
+ Buffer
crack and buffer are our main concept to understand the current conditions and vision the future. crack generates permeability in boundaries and allow flow of movement in various directions. buffer creates smooth transition between different characteristics around the site and fill up abandoned areas with new activities enriching the neighbourhood.
The wall is a solid division between two different elements
change in composition brings opporunity to weaken the wall
The crack increases porosity on the wall and the two area create new relationship
buffer
the solid wall only allows movement around the itself
weakening the boundary and increasing the permeability start to allow movement within the boundary
the buffer is created between spaces with high porosity allowing different activities within the buffer zone

green network and buffer
program and buffer
morphology and buffer
many large and small open spaces are scattered around the site. the site has a potential to bridge the surrounding open spaces in order to create a continuous ecological network. the buffer of green spaces will vary in scale and types, possibly containging some public programs serving the neighbourhood and the city. also the site can work as the threshold between the urban landscape on the west and the more natural landscape on the east.
the site has a potential to complete the public network serving the neighbourhood
the site is a threshold between two different morphologies. in order to accommodate both side and create a coherent transition, it is important to study different types of morphology around the site and transform the existing buildings into different sizes and shapes. large scale industrial morphology has some advantages that small residential types do hot have. however, to create a intimate atmosphere and connect with the surrounding spaces, the space could be break down and punched.

Applying the concept of crack and buffer, the site transforms into a fluid space with public programs that attracks the neighbourhood and the city

WHY
HOW
The site is situated between city centre and local community.
CITY CENTRE
Reusing the industrial building and taking advantage of large scale space for creative activities
COMMUNITY
The site can function as a buffer that connent both areas.
COMMUNITY
CITY CENTRE
The strategy is to create a ART COMMUNITY that interests the CITY CENTRE and simultaneously provide public service programs for the community
Toronto’s Don Valley Keep the construction and the foundations ; Repartition
798 Art Zone Demolish part of wells ; Repartition
Tour Bois-le-Prêtre Renovate the elevaition and plus in units
Example
ART + COMMUNITY related programs
WHAT
Starting with services for artists, the layout of programs encourages connection between art professions and local community
Existing Element
Each element on site transform into a flexible creative program space under the theme “art”
