Future Nostalgia

Team Point of View

The future nostalgia is a particular feeling, that is not provoked by the remembrance of the past but rather of the future. On the reflection-site we have developed a proposal aimed at transforming the area into a superblock that functions as a fragment of the city of the age of future nostalgia, where society can finally regain the opportunity of fully living the city in a soft and sustainable way. The project site is the clear exemplification of that. The former big volume of the shopping center is transformed in a fragment of the city, where collective life can happen both on the ground floor of the shops, and on the upper elevation of the dwellings, in a potentially flexible milieu that can be adapted from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

Jury Point of View

The project employs a multi-scale strategy to address various aspects of the reflection site, emphasizing structural development by reinforcing the existing structure for long-term evolution. Incorporating vertical diversity, it introduces layers and variation while maintaining a balanced density for efficient space utilization. However, concerns arise about potential overproduction on the ground floor, necessitating collaboration with the city and clients for resolution.
