NEW TRIFOGLIO AREA
Milano, Italy
Project Development
During 2015
Intervention to give new uses and character to a forgotten space. Organic vs. Geometric
Renovation of the ‘Trifoglio’ meeting area, at the Polytechnic University of Milan It is done through a requalification of the spaces, giving them new uses and removing deterrent elements that degrade the spatial quality.
The project aims to destroy the rough geometry of the surrounding building. We change the space with natural curved lines. All those lines will reflect the flow and movement of users within the intervention area.
Physical sensations are really important in choosing the main focus points of the project, as they are the ones that determine the experiences of thousands of people over the years.
We decided to remove the supports of the walkway to obtain a more fluid communication on the lower part, the handrail being the structural truss. Bands are included for outdoor work in depressions of the ground and where the covered part can be kept as bands of landscaped spaces where to relax.
