Manipolazione tipologica

Abstract

The team, since the early stages of the project, has worked with the will to seize, in collaboration and multidisciplinary dialogue, an opportunity for cultural and scientific growth to achieve shared solutions. The regeneration of the area subject of this study has assumed four elementary actions as operational tools declined to the urban, architectural and technological scale: include, subtract, add and connect. In Tor Bella Monaca, the lack of sense of urbanity is the real cause of environmental discomfort. The size, the layout and the position of the large residential units deprive the inhabitants of a sense of belonging to the city that has been reformulated by reorganizing the greenery and by bringing the common equipment inside the large courtyards to reduce the size of the void. The goal was to achieve a balance between public and private different from the existing one. At the residential scale, it was necessary to return the different quality of domestic spaces. Reshaping the internal configuration, returning in the facade a new character to the building, allows buildings to show outside a new and more decent domestic quality, rewriting the relationship between private and public. The ground floor loses its residential character and progressively, from the bottom to the top, the character public disperses in favor of regained intimacy. The transformations are configured, moreover, as a wider system of connections, both material and immaterial, in which the art of composition and the building wisdom expressed by the technological solutions have found a congruent synthesis between economy, formal reconfiguration and new quality of daily life in the suburbs.
