The new square, as a pilot project for the development of the master plan, aims to rehabilitate the image of the entire district and create a new identity. The purpose of the project is to create a sense of collective identity (a new strong community) by incorporating structures and elements of urban furniture, immediately recognisable, favouring also the aesthetic and evocative aspects, and capable to enhance the beauty of the new square.
To foster identity, new icons and landmarks are designed in strategic points of the plot. All these elements of urban regeneration will become a source of pride for the people and trigger among them a sense of responsibility and protection of their collective public space, enhancing a feeling of unity, sharing and belonging. The preferred use of natural materials such as local stone, water and vegetation inside the square contributes to convey a harmonious and evocative appearance to the public space, reinterpreting the beauty of the northern landscape in an urban alphabet.

MICRO, dal greco μικρός, molto piccolo, è un prefisso che ci siamo attribuiti nell’approccio al mestiere di architetti. Un approccio micro all’osservazione dei processi di trasformazione urbana e sociale che viviamo nel nostro quotidiano. Una lettura in grado di mettere a fuoco strumenti progettuali per trovare idee e risposte dove gli approcci consolidati costituiti da scale di consumi ed economie obsolete entrano in crisi.
La qualità ambientale, il paesaggio, gli usi, i modi di vivere e le scelte tecniche divengono elementi strutturali dei progetti. Vorremmo che il nostro fosse un micro contributo affinché l’architettura possa essere più amata e alla portata di tutti, verso un architettura del presente.
Lo studio opera con un gruppo di progettisti dal 2013, partecipando a concorsi europei ed internazionali, sviluppando tematiche legate alla cultura progettuale contemporanea con ambiti di ricerca rivolti al pubblico e al sociale. Microstudio focalizza la sua ricerca sulle potenzialità emozionali del costruito a partire dall’interazione tra persone e spazio fisico, con particolare cura nella ricerca dei materiali e del paesaggio.
