Town Hall in San Michele al Tagliamento
Type
The design process was based on a more general
premise: the regeneration of the central area, which is currently made of a
fragmentary urban fabric which appears out of scale in relation to the elements
of civic centrality. It thus involves a series of actions whose purpose is to
create a relationship and a strong continuity between the emerging urban
elements. The succession of public spaces defined by their functions, such as
the Church, the City Hall and the Shopping Square, which must be configured,
will be a significant factor in the new design for the regeneration of the city
center. The City Hall building is organized into three distinct four-story
volumes surrounding a covered square, which is an extension of the small
outdoor square, and will become the new Piazza della Libertà. The three volumes
are composed of: two longitudinal elements that run parallel to the main
circulation roads that define the block of the City Hall to the east and west;
a square-plan volume, called Torre Civica, rotated in relation to the main circulation
road to the east, and positioned parallel to the east-west axis of the new
Piazza della Libertà. Inside the covered square, whose roof connects the
longitudinal volumes, an oval-plan structure has been built for the City
Council meeting room. The city square is delineated to the west by the portico
of the existing buildings, and its edge features excellent accessibility, with
stairs and ramps divided by the pensile pool of water, which is the point of
departure for the axis of symmetry that defines the main building. The entire
outdoor space to the north is bordered by a grassy area raised above the level
of the square, made available for the future completion of the City Square with
a one-floor cylindrical volume. The square is characterized by the impact with
the volume of the Government Tower and the system of entrances. A short
portico, a fragment of the colonnade that will be built to connect it to the
Shopping Square, protect the main entrance area to the interior courtyard of
the new City Hall and is dominated by the pivotal cylindrical volume of the
stairs and elevator. The pool of water is strongly evocative of the direction
the City Hall faces, towards the coast of Bibione, whose geographical shape as
a peninsula at the mouth of the Tagliamento River provides another formal
reference. The compact and intimate nature of the square is further emphasized
by the unity of the facing material, which will be Pisino yellow Istrean stone.
