The project includes three areas of urban intervention located in the city of Fratta Polesine (RO). The intent is to rethink the city for places where people are at the center.

“Where one can stand, one can also sit.
Not only children but also women have their place
on the doorstep, in close contact with the earth, its traditions
and perhaps its deities. The chair in front of the door is already a sign ofcity ​​innovation. Of the unheard-of faculty of sitting at the cafe, then,
only men are used”Walter Benjamin, Images of cities, 1925

Piazza Giacomo Matteotti

The project attempts to establish a dimensional rule through a large floor tray that identifies the hierarchies of spaces and main functions. This element also fulfills the role of mediation plan of the shares between the road and the current gardens. In fact, the flooring, set on a single level, absorbs the difference in height and acts as a podium within the space.

Cà Pepoli Gardens

The proposed design solution re-proposes the theme of the cloister in order to create an intimate, concluded space, an internal annular path of interstitial spaces, which, in its development, delimits the void and organizes different functions and ways of staying as well as performing the role of filter of mediation between the garden and the surrounding context devoid of architectural elements of significant quality. The theme of the enclosure and the tectonic covered space organized through a system of walls and roofs which are partly permeable and partly not, defines a space beyond the surrounding urban context which relates only to the internal green space.San Luigi Guanella Garden

Through signs on the ground, the project defines the hierarchies of walking that reach the church, the places of stay, the spatiality of the churchyard, and repositions the statue in a more direct relationship with it.
