INTERTWINING SPACES

Taking into account the general scenario and the collective vision of the group for Biella 2050, this sub-scenario proposes an eclectic urban vision planning, referring to a framework of both micro and macro interventions that seek, through the fluctuation of scales, give a complete dynamic to the city. As a fundamental argument, the project aims to revitalize the constructions that are currently abandoned in order to convert them into symbiotic pieces, where the mix of programmes will allow the creation of spaces to foster the learning and entrepreneurship of the city’s cultural traditions, such as the textile industry, to support the productive sector, to promote the stay of young talents and in turn to link, in a coherent and complementary manner, the constructions recycled to the current equipment network, taking into account the deficiencies and needs of each sector. In order to intertwine these places and move from a purely virtual connection to a physical one, the project presents the design of a main street, consolidated on an important axis of the city, which serves as a communication route for the intervening spaces, and that is born from the transformation that they generate on their environment and the adjacent public space, with this in turn comes the greening of the roads, the development of parks between the different points, the generation of public space in the required areas and the integration of the infrastructure necessary for cycling on the track. In short the project is developed with the revitalization of dots, the endowment of them and the interlinking of these that allow the final objective of knitting the city.

He is Gabriel worked in a factory of textil in Biella.

She is Lucia , she worked also in a textil industry. He Is Francesco and he works in a cultural equip- ment of Biella.

Hello guys , I'm calling you because with all this that happened from COVID-1 9 I want to discuss some ideas I have to improve this cit Hi Luci! I was thinking the same!

YES ! ME TOO we need a change Let's meet at a cafe to discuss it.

This is the best café, let's sit down and talk With that mentioned of the road I had planned a master plan which was to be developed through a main road from Biella which would bring together many factors.

I will really like to have publics shared gardens in via Antonio Gramsci!

Yes! it could be nice, but we need to improve cycle paths in the street and we need to develop a green urbanism along the via Gramsci. What do you think?

and could be combined with an education system because there is a good low education system in biella but not so much high education system. I think that the creation of an artistic university can develop a lot Biella. I really like art and photography. I want that old abandoned firm became area of artistic expression. I really want that Biella create a local networks of vegetables production and with what you're talking about education, we could link it.

We can use the abando- ned places that Biella has to make strategic points that activate this main road and supply Biella with the missing equip- ment.

Places like this, which have great potential and no one uses them.

Or like this one that has a huge space that could become the best public space in the city.
