The
Teoldi/Zanuso design, among the competition's awarded
projects, begins by analyzing the current fracture in the
city fabric in order to recompose recognizable urban
spaces. The intervention underscores the axis of movement
along the line of Viale Tunisia - Viale della Liberazione,
molding a large, centrally positioned park area, in
spatial sequence with the new raised garden in Piazza
della Repubblica included in the Itaca project (Chambry -
Zanuso). Three building blocks confirm the fabric to the
sides of the axis. Viale della Liberazione is lined by a
triple row of horsechestnuts on either side, assuming the
aspect of a boulevard and anticipating the subsequent
central park. The project's characteristic element is the
linear building with a sinusoidal shape which accompanies
the park along the southern border of the Isola
neighborhood, becoming the base for the new skyscraper of
the regional administration placed perpendicularly to the
city administration buildings, constituting their
counterpoint.
