place Aeroporto di Brindisi / Brindisi Airport

year 2019

client TPP Teatro Pubblico Pugliese

The exhibition “The Sea of Intimacy” has been on show for a year, from July 2019 to July 2020, in the complex spaces of the airport of Brindisi in Puglia after a period of exhibition in Trieste.

The objects exposed deal with the treasures from the Apulian coast, but not only, and are the result of a meticulous and accurate work of selection.

In the articulate hallways of the airport terminal there are amphoras, wrecks and rests of ships, objects and earthenware used by mariners, sculptures and digital materials appropriately disposed for the viewer.

The show is organized in various steps on two levels: ground floor and first floor. The introductive panel is to be found on the outside in the immediate vicinity of the entrance to the airport, followed by a series of exhibition points dislocated in various spaces on the ground floor and characterized by a common formal design: curve-shaped vertical panels that let come to mind the waves of the sea hold the showcases with the exhibits and the screens for documentaries (video in loop). The panels are set on a printed film with images of the sea and indications of the title of the specific section of the exhibition.

The flow of the exhibition is interrupted by a particular fitting for a space with double height which connects the first and the second level of the exhibition: the reconstruction of a cave and two showcases in the form of a ship section, to explain how the amphoras were positioned and transported in these in the ancient times.

The double height allows for curved panels with images of the sea to be suspended from an iron grid and the profile of a diver at work. In the same space a three-sided pole is provided with video screens.

The reconstruction of the cave uses the system of the curve shaped panels to form a more intimate space in which to admire a projection on floor and walls which reproduces the aspect of the bottom of the sea.

Place  Lignano Sabbiadoro (UD)

Year  2019

Client  Comune di Lignano Sabbiadoro

Gino Ursella square is the product of a vision dating back to the 1960s: the modern holiday city. It also contains a message of seaside enthusiasm typical of that time and expressed through the brightness of the colors but also through the magnificence of the buildings themselves. It was an urbanistic vision to emphasize the architecture of the city with porticos and squares where to walk and meet other vacationers.

The proposed redevelopment project for the competition aims at bringing back to life this optimism reshaping the atmosphere with the colors of the place in a contemporary way: simple, moderate and evocative for the tourists but also for the residents who are living in this place all year round. The color is thus the strategic tools of the proposal following this message of optimism and the place’s morphology but in line with nowadays’ spirit of frugality. Nowadays above all means attention to the environment, to the re-use and to stylistic sobriety.

The project proposal is based on an organization of the space into tree “rooms” and includes:

• The creation of a flexible space in the central “room” upgrading the existing environment conditions keeping the current functions.
• The recognition of the square as the heart and the connecting place of a larger system in the urban context.
• The constitution of a space as an attractor of new representative and aggregative functions in the two green “heads”.
• The creation of a place with a strong identity in line with the history of the place itself, but of easy management and maintenance.
• The making of a dynamic space able to change its look during the day or longer periods (weekly or seasonally).
• The replacement of the high lampposts with their cold an alienating light by shorter and more densely distributed lampposts that generate a more intimate and spread light. These lampposts will be supplied with low consumption devices based on led technology.

Flexibility is the key word of the project. The square is imagined as a space that can host different activities for the everyday users, and easily adjust to events and to other specific needs that may occur.

The central “room” of the square is a large empty space able to accommodate to the different functions that will be activated time by time in the square. A place however able to re-activate convivial collective processes where to meet, wait and stop-by. A place open to everyone: market, music, parties, events, etc.

The two heads of the square are thought as “green rooms”, space for shadow and rest characterized by a calibrated variety of trees, small bushes, and ground covering plants. In these areas many seats will be located next to the green tank, in a way to preserve the needs of the pedestrians.

The square is connected through a ramp to the paths directed to the sea.

The wall made of wire mesh is designed to wrap a temporary structure of the former cooperative society for food distribution Coop Operaie of Trieste. After the transition period the structure containing the commercial activity has been dismantled and the wall remained.

With a play of oblique lines, there was built a structure that supports a cantilevered metal stairs which joins the road level with the plane of the above square. The whole structure has been executed in galvanized steel and covered with panels of galvanized and electrowelded mesh fixed on a secondary tubular frame.

The project has paid special attention to the study of landscape: over the years the large bulkhead has been wrapped in ivy and jasmine that with the changing of the seasons changes in color and permeability.

Piazza della Repubblica is the entry hall of Muggia: the redevelopment project tries to to compact as much as possible this “block”, taking it away from parking and vehicle traffic, in order to return it to the use of the pedestrian, the meetings, the green.

The project is part of a wider plan of redevelopment of public spaces adjacent to the square, including the underground car park on the road which leads to Caliterna Mandracchio, and the redevelopment of Via Roma with the redesign of the sidewalks, the trees and the pedestrian and vehicular paths regulations.
