the rhythm of the urban grid as

This size, derived from the

ex-isting urban tissue, is the tool

to compose a system of

sce-nographical “machines” with a

modularity defi ning a prototype

able to be transformed

accord-ing to different events’ needs.

Temporary event, with its “show”

values, is a great occasion to

re-qualify historical public spaces.

Via Francigena is a good site

“ma-chines” able to determinate, in

From the city history and from

its cultural values we can refer

for the right materials to build.

Project sites are: Piazza Duomo

and Piazza Cavalli.

Cavalli Square: plan, rendering and sketch

The project comes from the study of a new fi gure of Piacenza historical

center. Elements able to determinate the fi gure’s form are: Farnesian

walls sections, the cardo, and the morphological tissue.

Via Francigena is the structural factor of the entire fi gure, with some nodal

points: East Gate, University Campus, Piazza Cavalli, Piazza Duomo and

West Gate. Here the project is about new surfaces inside the historical

buildings, re-using the strong and important heritage. The basic idea is to

transform existing with a functional change, special hosting for students

and tourist walking along Francigena route.

The project is also oriented towards details and materials inherited

from Piacenza historical buildings.

Project strategy aims to a contemporary re-use, giving new identity

and meaning to public spaces, seen as boxes for multimedial and

live informations.

HEADS:

Water was historically the main

The project becomes part of a wide

vision of 2015 Expo in Milano:

a widespread event involving the

entire Lombardia, touching the

Po river and by-passing it reaching

Piacenza.

In this strategy, city-river

con-nection is the topical issue to

de-terminate a new relationship with

an unexpected point of contact.

Piacenza, traditionally, is not a

river-city. And its historical

devel-opment was oriented to protect

the urban tissue from the river,

and mostly from its overfl owing.

The project locates a sort of

light-house in prosecution with the

Ro-man foundation “cardo”, one of

the main axis entering the city.

It wants to be a new

territo-rial landmark, able to establish

visual connections with a wide

area. But it can be also a

“mi-rador” where to look, by a new

perspective, at Palazzo Farnese,

piazza Cavalli and its Palazzo

Gotico, the Cathedral, the river and the new harbor.

But the new tower is not just a centrality between the city and the river.

It is a very sustainable building because it can produce more energy than

it consumes. Water from the river is used as an energy renewable source.

Demolition of the highway viaduct (operation to subtract as

destruc-tion) opens the city towards the river. Here you can fi nd space for a

new green waterfront where the city locates some cultural functions,

such as a museum and a multifunctional center.

from this idea: to rethink the missing connection between Piacenza and

the Po river, giving a meaning and a new function.
