MONUMENT IN FERTILE COUNTRY

Team point of view

The contemporary city highlights the difficulties of achieving direct connection between areas and establishing a homogeneous image. Urban rhythms dictate shared choices; these have to provide flexibility in managing the designed spaces. In our project, adaptability becomes a feature because it does not erase what is already there. The project creates an order in which even the commercial buildings can be relocated within a context of mixed functions. The aim of this process of phased construction for the single elements along with the infrastructural transformations is to achieve a finished shape. “Monument in fertile country” is not a single entity but a sequence of individual operations, which allows space for identifying new situations.
