Master Plan 2

Piacenza and the Appenine settlements are establishing a strong chain of activities, traditions, and economic wealth. The linear system of two highways, one regional center, and mountains no longer works in perfect harmony. We attempted to emphasize the most important points, which then served as the foundation for the design. The area under consideration is distinguished by its location between two important state highways, SS45 and SP654. Both roads connect the city of Piacenza to the mountainside and settlements such as Rivergaro and Ponte dell Olio. Another important consideration is the Antiqua River, which was discovered only after extensive historical research and synchronic mapping. All of these topics, in relation to agricultural areas, local habitat, and a long-forgotten tramway, formed a solid foundation for the territory’s further revitalization.

POLITECNICO DI MILANO ADVANCED LANDSCAPE DESIGN NECROPOLIS OF TARQUINIA, ITALY

Tutors - Ar. Poli Matteo Umberto, Pergalani Floriana Individual Project Grade - 28/30 Softwares used - Autocad, Sketchup, Photoshop,Lumion

Tarquinia necropolis, also recognized as Ethrscan necropolis of Monterozzi, is located on the highland to the east of the city and includes approximately 6000 tombs, many of which are covered with tumulus with chambers carved in the rock. Burial chambers are designed to look like home interiors, with frescos depicting their way of life on the walls. Decorations, on the other hand, appear to be Ehruscans’ fate. Among those buried here are Leonese Guerriero, Fiorellini, Baccanti, Orco, and Scudi. Tarquinia’s Ethruscan Necropolis was designated a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE landmark. The main design proposal is to bring the memory of the Etruscans to the futuristic generation while conserving the tombs. Thus, the idea of a museum is born, which is designed with acoustic natural lighting and ventilation with pier and beam foundation made from wood and stone.

Modification of buildings and road systems

Modification of vegetation River Po is an important space in the north of Piacenza that connects the water front and the city. The ground road and the air traffic system form a double loop, and as the primary mode of transportation connecting the north and south, it can form a variety of transfer combinations. The plan has optimized the existing road network while reducing environmental impact. Our main goal is to create an ecological habitat network by first forming a core habitat that will connect the surrounding habitats with emerging ecological value. We developed forest land, wetland, and other models to improve the riparian ecosystem and increase and enhance animal diversity. As a result, we use native vegetation and employ higher-quality management to create a multi-structure ecological landscape that is green. This not only significantly increases the purification effect, but also improves the landscape’s quality.

The interior of the building, which includes a daycare, a grooming center, a clinic, a retail pet store, and restrooms, is designed to meet the needs of dogs regularly. Another half of the building, on the other hand, brings in the opulence for the people to relax. A multidimensional amphitheater integrated with a kid’s play area leveled seating paving access to the perspective of the dog and human. This is followed by a bridge acting as a high-level visual connecting retail shop enhance the contact between dog and human. Colors, as well as materials such as wood and glass, are used to improve the building’s overall appearance.
