         The permeable city
Connecting and Liveable Public Spaces
 Porta Nuova is the biggest urban redevelopment ever
 carried out in the heart of Milan. The project extends over
 three neighborhoods (Garibaldi, Varesine and Isola) and
 involves a large brownfield area which had been deteriorating
 for over 50 years.
 The landscape design focused on the creation of a large
 park and extended to the design of both hardscape and
 softscape for the inner courts and the main pathways.
 The redevelopment of Porta Nuova is considered as the
 natural expansion of the existing neighborhoods and aims
 to interrelate the history and identity of each of them. This
 goal is achieved through the upgrading of the public realm
 by the implementation of high quality public spaces, new
 squares, pedestrian paths and public gardens.
 In this way the area is no longer solely a connection among
 the three zones, but it also becomes a destination in its
 own and a meeting place where the Milanese can come and
 socialize.

           2017 > 2027
    Welcome to the Green Decade
The project proposes strategic guidelines for the
development of Essen, capital of culture 2017. A model
for the valorisation of residential, commercial and service
areas is identified as a key-theme for the regeneration and
recovery of the Emscher River, aiming at a sustainable
development of the whole territory.
“Freiraum schafft Stadtraum” (open space creates urban
space) is our concept to connect and develop green
infrastructures for more urban quality.
Part of the project is the Krupp Park where a recovered
site creates an attractive public green space with
playgrounds, rest areas and new viewpoints. In the design,
a wide ‘high-valley’ runs North-South through the park,
accompanied by five shifted flat hills, realized by reusing
the soil movements of the building phases for the new
ThyssenKrupp headquarter.

 Opportunity, Mobility, Sustainability
Connecting Minds, Creating the Future
 The Thematic Districts are an integral part of the EXPO
 2020 DUBAI site that comprise 86 permanent buildings
 spread over three separate ‘petals’. Each of the three petals
 is given a unique and memorable character, portrayed
 through different geometry, landscaping and colours to
 reflect the three main EXPO 2020 DUBAI themes: Mobility,
 Opportunity and Sustainability. The design is characterized
 by a series of tree-lined, self-shaded, human scaled streets,
 with a variety of different sized and themed courtyard
 spaces. A central spine runs through each District creating
 special places with water features, event stages, activity
 areas and exciting rest places, clustered underneath a series
 of elegant shade structures.
 The project has been designed to achieve LEED Gold and
 will be repurposed in legacy mode to create a campus of
 buildings, each inter-connected via bridge links that overlook
 landscaped spaces, offering a district for innovative startups
 and tech companies.

                 this concept aims to improve the quality of work spaces as
                 well as meeting rooms and foyers for customers.
                 The landscape design involves all building open spaces,
                 from the entrance in the basement to the roof-top terrace.
                 A particular attention was reserved to the inner patios at
                 the third level: they generate intimate spaces in relation to
                 the industrial context of the sorroundings. All design and
                 technological solutions follow the principles of biophilic
                 design and fulfill LEED certification requirements.
                 The terrace is the heart of the project. Visitors are surrounded
                 by a flowery crown that frames the view and enriches the
                 recreational space for events.

       From Grey to Green
Landscape creates the Human Scale
The concept of ‘Fluid Landscape’ has shaped the
project resulting into three green fingers that depart
from the riverbank and lead into the core of the
new urban development. They provide a strong
dialogue between the landscape and the river and
through the open spaces and the urban layout.

The development is divided into zones with different
characteristics according to the adaptation to local
topography. The extended flood area between
the water and the curvy riverside path creates
natural room for the river Moskva to flow smoothly
into a wider riverbed of high ecological value.

              ELENA SALMISTRARO

      “Design can become a tool at the service of the community to
  contribute to the system of values that constitute the cultural and
productive identity of a territory. The past should not be understood
as a burden that limits us on our path but as a continuous source of
inspiration in interpreting new needs. What was done in Essen
   shows how every story can become a living material
     to build new economic and cultural models that are
                                            stimulating for everyone”.

                                                      “Speaking of the future, how can we distinguish that of design from
                                                      that of civil society? Although I am an incurable optimist, regarding
                                                      the latter I truly feel that an ill wind is blowing. Now more than ever

                                                      are only aesthetic, which is true, but I am convinced that
                                                      aesthetics can be transformed into ethics. If something
                                                      can still save the world, it will be beauty”.

                         “Design is undoubtedly the mirror of society.
    In Russia, in the faculty of architecture, architecture and design
                                                    merge completely.
     I do believe that territoriality should have an impact
  and that every place is different and it is important to preserve the
location and those who design in these places must surely take the
          diversity of one space from the other into account”.
