The underground parking garage (600 cars), built on a
triangular-shaped parcel of public property, is served by
two double helix superimposed ramps, placed along the lot
lines. The two entrances, covered by climbing plants,
become the
retaining walls of a terraced garden (600 sq. mt.), made
with
the
material
from the excavations, which becomes the formal
solution
for covering the garage. The circular wells of
the ramps and the three playing courts are integrated into
a unified
figure
along the diagonal of the lot,
and
form a homogenous band of green with facilities,
underscored by a double row of trees, which mediate with
the surrounding tall buildings. A path paved with
porphyry, shaded by a line of Acer platanoides, runs along
Via S. Barnaba up to the church and the pedestrian
exits, inserted into a steel and glass kiosk.
