Rigenerazione del quartiere Le Piagge
The regeneration of the Piagge neighborhood
1 - BACKGROUND
The Piagge is a neighborhood of the village of Brozzi, which lies on the western outskirts of Florence. A significant area, but bumpy and neglected, not far from the city center, is potentially valuable and attractive for localization, but at the same time degraded and polluted due to poor quality of the processes of urbanization and growth.
HISTORY - The first project of building expansion plan of the area dates back to Florence in 1962, which provided a model neighborhood for about 14,000 residents. But the project was abandoned due to some unexpected. The interest in the area of R03;R03;Piagge awoke in the early eighties, when the town of Florence was faced with a sudden emergency housing. The hasty allotment as a result gave a neighborhood separated from the historical neighbors, the anomalous traffic and no services of any kind. In 2004 Giancarlo De Carlo developed the Project Guide for the overall reorganization of the entire settlement of Piagge. Among the interventions appear the redevelopment of the settlement "Le Navi", the construction of a railway station, the renovation of the former incinerator and a new road. Plan De Carlo was applied, however only 80%, the remaining 20%, ie golf courses, park, residential accommodation for children, shops and new roads were inapplicati.
THE CURRENT SITUATION - The image of the buildings is generally decent but the total disorder in the general, in relationships, in volumes, in the common areas and systems of connections, uncoordinated and disorganized, involves the complete lack of urban character and identity . The neighborhood is organized to parallel bands - the Via Pistoia, the railroad, the river - little or no communication between them, with an internal road which tends to twist on itself, always coming back on the main street. It is missing the connection between the cores built, and the continuity of paths and open spaces, while overlooking a generalized isolation. Area that overlooks via San Donnino is also a lake, the so-called "Swamp", nestled among the homes of Piagge; it is a short-emergence of the aquifer and its inhabitants and associations calling for a renewal year, with the creation of a park.
2 - THE PROJECT
And 'right here, from the existing vegetation and the lake, which originates in our project: nature as heart surgery. Built-up areas, which occupy a small part of the batch, create a synthesis between natural form and artificial form, creating a natural one with the amorphous mass, although based on a geometric matrix. Textile timely and form of the square characterizes the entire project. In a report of full and empty, undeveloped area is thought of as green areas and common areas that bring continuity in public and private space. Especially in the area, the buildings are taken up the pace and complexity of medieval Gothic city, joined to the theme of the decomposition of form and color. The materials are not poor but refined and perfect and natural, these same materials that we nowadays discard regain value and are of the buildings. They want to be a representation of a return to origins, amalgamated with a pristine environment. He takes life as an intervention consisting of individual buildings is not unrelated, but by a single button that establishes a dialogue with the context: nature and tradition.
