The project for the new bridge in Belluno comes from the need to find a definitive form for the current bridge, which crosses the Piave river, built in 2007 as a temporary solution, but which has proved to be a fundamental link for the city and the surrounding territory.
The new intervention, with all its infrastructural declinations, acts as a multiplier device for access to the river, to the parking areas, to the city and to the two banks. A bridge-system that can be crossed both longitudinally and transversally, but above all a device that fits in and reorders the urban and territorial materials present.
The project aims to investigate and reflect on the theme of infrastructure as an element that participates in the construction of the landscape in which it is inserted. Not as a purely functional component, but rather as an artefact to which it is possible to attribute an intrinsic aesthetic value and recognisability.
The identification of those features that define the river landscape in question has made it possible to reuse them as structural elements of the image of the new bridge. In fact, it will be the riverbed that will constitute its strong identity: the points of support are nothing more than the emergence of the river itself, which rises to support the structure that delicately rests on it.
The bridge represents the synthesis of careful research into the reading and interpretation of the place, resulting in a design proposal that makes the landscape an infrastructure, and the infrastructure a landscape.

Parco di Villa Sant'Angelo
Executive project
Project developped in collaboration with A&P Architettura del Paesaggio and ResiliensArch
Villa Sant'Angelo (AQ), 2022
The redevelopment project of Parco Commendone is part of the interventions already partly carried out within the area, and is intended as an essential completion of new functions and vegetal and spatial qualities.
The park is located within the complex of popular housing built in the '60s designed by Pietro Barucci, Lucio Passarelli and Marcello Vittorini. The project shows the characters of a typology that is strongly identifiable, both in the design and architectural landscape. The project can therefore be considered as an important opportunity to redefine the use of open spaces in relation to a particular portion of the city now consolidated.
The new park revolves around the creation of a recreational-sports path that winds along the existing one, and that assumes forms and spaces specifically designed for crossing on skateboards and the possibility of becoming the scene of new collective uses. The path ends in the skatepark, specially designed for acrobatic activities and sports, but also to be used as a new meeting place and aggregation. In addition to the structures related to skateboarding, a soccer field will be built to materialize the informal play area currently set up. The project also provides for the planting of shrubs and trees according to specific criteria of landscape composition that can combine the need to fit into a built environment and partly consolidated with an idea of new identity of the park. The plant elements have been appropriately chosen and arranged in order to create different types of spaces and provide protection and shade to the most sensitive areas. Attention has also been paid to the meadow surfaces, identifying areas in relation to the new path in which to allow the formation of a flower meadow with a strong naturalistic character.
