16.03 Pescara
The project for a new residential district of Pescara tries to solve the new questions posed by contemporary issues in terms of the relationship between public and private space, establishing a close connection between the local context and the scale of the urban landscape.
The elements of the urban landscape, in fact, have become the project's guide: the low-rise buildings relate to the streetscape and generate places of aggregation and urban mixité, while the high-rise housing measure against the landscape. If in the past the idea of living was embedded within the internal world of the house, today it rather identifies with the ephemeral, transformable and changeable, and it is rapidly moving towards different conditions of use and manifold spatial qualities. While reflecting these issues, the proposal manifests the renewed relationships residents establish with the physical and social space.
