“The Master Plan considers the area as a ‘generating point’, as an opportunity for the development and transformation of an entire area of the city. We imagined how the territory could change with the aim of strengthening its identity and creating a new urbanity.”
The final definition of the masterplan focuses on the conception of the Fiorenza-Triulza area as a “generating point” rather than a fenced-in area. In a context like north-west Milan, we felt that it was essential to have a global vision, envisaging the project as an opportunity, a stimulus and a resource for the development and transformation of an entire part of the city.
Given the above, it was fundamental to imagine how all the different parts, whether open land or built plots, could change in use or strengthen and consolidate their identity to create a new urbanity:liveable places and attractive scenarios.
