The project area “former Milan Fund ‘is situated in the south-west of Brescia city center. Located just outside the historic walls belt that surrounds the city, the area is easily connected through via Vantini, with the historic part of the city center. The project fits the area within the green system that is developed along the ancient city walls and encompassing among other things, the area of the Castle.
Through the orientation and arrangement of the buildings, it is proposed to maintain a high permeability in the east-west direction to allow immediate connection with the city center and at the same time emphasizing membership in the system of the "green belt” of the walls.
The area is located on a strip of important dialogue between the compact fabric of the historic city and the more fragmented part of the expanding city. To resolve the relationship between these two contexts, the project focuses on balancing and the relationship between solids and voids. It is proposed a central public park overlooked by all residences, a green park and services for the development and the revitalization of an area that is changing from a former industrial area into a new part of the city.
