C. The Gateway Transition Strategy

MEMBRANE CONCEPT

The interactive gateway under the highway bridge at via Corelli, puncturing the boundary of the enclosed park and generating a flow of people and services between the inside and the outside of Grande Parco Forlanini. The gateway is structured like a membrane, funelling and connecting people through the transition space with the help of specific devices and activities present in the gateway. A mobility junction, the art junction, as well as the main intersection with it’s piazza are key components of the membrane. The existing structure, the pillars of the bridge, are given additional importance as they are the guiding space shaping element within the membrane. The Underbridge Area

Taking inspiration from a nature Considering the area as a membrane Identifying Important junctions

Considering potential areas in the surrounding and creating new junctions Connecting junctions considering columns as space defining element Enhancing the proposal with appropriate respecting community and existing functions
