Winning project
Loreto, from a large traffic hub to an open-air green square, connected to NoLo to guarantee continuity of the Buenos Aires/Padua axis: LOC, Loreto Open Community, as an icon of inclusiveness for the city. The project incorporates the objectives of the 2030 Agenda through tangible urban regeneration strategies and actions: a process approach rather than the design of a space.
Starting from a strategic review of the mobility of the area, capable of reducing the driveway surface by 50% while preserving the existing circulation performance, the project returns 24.000 m12.000 of public space to the city, of which over XNUMX are organized on three-level squares, housed in the area of the current Piazzale around the Loreto metro stop, in the center of LOC.
A business incubator and attractive hub, LOC becomes the new urban district of NoLo's neighborhood business, hosts co-working and a neighborhood nursery school, and will offer a lively socio-cultural programme. The architecture, sustainable, green and with hybrid wooden structures, is an urban frame, banks of a permeable but protected square, elements of attraction and protection.
LOC wants to be a manifesto of sustainability, climate service, support for biodiversity: greenery becomes a powerful player in that urban reforestation process (around 500 new trees and 5.200 square meters of planted surface) so essential in the future vision of our city.
