A ‘new beginning’ of the city
A new mixed-use urban cell is inserted into a suburban area built by single-functional, gated subdivisions. The challenge was to ease a new beginning of the city through social and functional complexity, with different types of housing and with the creation of neighborhood facilities, public and semi-public spaces.
Here, the language of architecture is expressed through the polychromatic notes of the internal facades and the clear monochrome of the street fronts, bravely retracing the Mediterranean influences that have also characterized part of modern Milanese architecture.
