Missori Square - Nazional
competition, Milan 1991
|
|
The
project underlines the development of the antique square with
the orthogonal orientation of the sidewalks and of the four
poplars along the border of the nineteenth-century lot. A
large tree and the monument to General Missori, raised
on a brick pedestal, frame the Barnabiti Palace, giving
in this way a better definition to the space in which the
Lancia and Piacentini buildings face each other. The large
format pavement introduces to the dense fabric of the via
Torino and S.Sepolcro neighborhood, and the street
paving of big dark red porphyry blocks covers the whole
square, consolidating the unity of the place. |
