Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia presented the urban and landscape project for the Municipality of Ospitaletto.
Alfonso Femia and Simonetta Cenci have invited, in this strategic reflection, the architect and landscape designer Michelangelo Pugliese, with whom, they organized a series of working sessions between Genoa and Reggio Calabria.
From the dialog and the comparison on the themes proposed by the Atelier(s) as founding elements to the Municipal Administration, the proposal originated “draws” through a system of urban “drops” and territorial “leafs” with the aim to build a future dialog between territory and city.
“We must begin to rethink the city with its territory and the territory as a founding and invariant tool of the city. Territories, infrastructures, cities, nature and architecture have to be able to dialog with each other in order to build, over time, a drawing capable of establishing constraints and rules which can manage and/or induce the metamorphosis process which time can and must create for the “growth” of spaces and of our cities. In the first place, “growth” for us means qualitative evolution, of use, of relationship, trying to create a system of destination places which allow the cities to live in harmony with their territory and the territory to always be the main resource for a city.”
