Winning project
ARIA is a new neighborhood, alive, teeming with activities capable of exploring new ways of learning, having fun, growing, living and working.
Thanks to the new IED international Campus at POD, the science district dedicated to the dissemination of future technologies, and the management of open spaces, ARIA is a neighborhood that immediately attracts citizens with a program of initiatives and temporary uses dedicated to culture, creativity and solidarity.
Students and residents will be the city makers who will make Aria a new urban destination: places of work, production and use of services: sustainable living based on inclusive and innovative experiences of cohabitation and temporary collaborative uses.
The recovery of historic buildings goes far beyond the requests of the Superintendence and creates a place based on the heritage and circular economy of the built environment.
Aria will be the first Carbon Negative Area in Milan thanks to the ectogrid™ energy district which, with the photovoltaic of the Renewable Energy Communities, subtracts CO2eq from the rest of the city. Aria will certify the buildings LEED Gold, the master plan LEED for Cities&Communities.
The role of plants will reduce environmental impacts thanks to parks, gardens, vegetable gardens, facades and thanks to the Air Factory, it will purify internal environments, filtering atmospheric contaminants.
