Competition for a Project to convert the Fish market at Riva Nazario Sauro 1 in Trieste to an exhibi
The former Fish market,
situated along the sea front at Trieste, on one side faces the nineteenth
century buildings of the Borgo Giuseppino
(the neoclassical area where many of the second generation architects of
Trieste’s fortunate nineteenth century architectural season worked) and on the
other side the sea.
It is a building from the
beginning of the twentieth century, particularly important both from an
architectural point of view and from a constructional point of view. It is an
example of eclectic architecture and technological experimentation using new
materials, a building deeply rooted in the memory of the townspeople.
An architecture which, for
these reasons, does not allow any formal and functional re-thinking which would
distort its intrinsic meaning.
The project therefore
tried, on the one hand, to emphasize and underline the existing
characteristics, and on the other to give exhaustive answers, in functional and
formal terms, to the proposed theme.
Architecture plays on and
exalts differences. On the re-invention, therefore, of the object.
Built as a “non-invasive”
structure and intended to be “transparent”, the project makes wide use of glass
and does not alter the historic structure, maintaining unchanged both its
geometry and constructional characteristics.
In particular the external
appearance of the building is completely preserved and the versatility of its
interior is enhanced, using, by means of pathways, galleries and exhibition
floors on different levels, all the space available. The building preserves and
in some ways accentuates the present “transparency” created by the wide use of
glass.
By proposing the theme of
pathways, the project wants to return to the theme of narration, and take the
visitor through the area of the old fish market, to appreciate its intrinsic
values, even those still unexplored, through the three dimensions which the
planned pathway accentuates. The theme of glass, which strikes one immediately,
celebrates its transparency and “openness”, its real reflecting capacity,
creating numerous different perspectives in space.
A “multiple space”,
consequential, made up of different floors, transparent layers.
The idea for the project
came after a careful study of the remaining, pre-existing features that the
space contains, even in relation to the surrounding urban system.
Some directrixes: first of all the sloping axis of via
Torino, with the right angled fabric of Borgo Giuseppino and particularly
piazza Venezia, a public meeting place joining together the ex fish market and
the Pasquale Revoltella Museum Of Modern and Contemporary Art; but also some
directrixes/lines of strength inside the building, lines taken diagrammatically
from the main pathways and from the structure, and re-proposed, with a spatial
value, as the leitmotiv for reading and interpreting the space.
