PARK 2

Crevalcore, BO (Italy), 2021 – 2024

 

The proposal is part of a wider project of functional implementation and landscaping. Its strategic objective is the strengthening of this part of the city – well connected to the center and to neighboring towns through the adjacent  railway station – in order to counteract existing phenome-na of exclusion, social marginalization and degradation.

 

The purpose of the project action on this area is to regenerate the sector to make it attractive in particular for some segments of the population, adolescents and young people. The redevelopment of the area is seen by the municipal administration as a tool for the enhancement of social capi-tal, in particular that consisting of young people.

 

The regeneration of the sports area stands as an element capable of giving a design to the fabric of the park that already contains countless sports facilities, recompacting it, defining a center that becomes the premise for community cohesion that will occur through its attendance.

 

The creation of new spaces for outdoor sports activities such as skateboarding, basketball and beach volleyball completely free and usable in self-management by the frequenters of the park will give a new meaning to what today appears as a space of results and intends to activate a dynamic generation of the bond between people and space, both physical and relational bond, powerful antidote to the phenomena of degradation and social discomfort.

Salottobuono is an architectural office based in Milan, directed by Matteo Ghidoni.

 

The studio’s work ranges from urban design to architecture, from temporary installations to exhibition design. Salottobuono is also constantly engaged in research, publishing and teaching activities. Always active in the international arena, the studio is currently in charge of developing public space and landscape redevelopment projects on behalf of several Italian administrations. Salottobuono relies on the collaboration of a network of specialists for the development of all phases of the project in its structural, plant engineering, economic and site management aspects. It also collaborates with consultants on landscape and environmental sustainability issues.

 

Matteo Ghidoni obtained his Master Degree in architecture at IUAV Faculty of Architecture in Venice in 2002. He was a founding partner of the research agency Multiplicity from 2002 to 2006. His work with Multiplicity was exhibited at Kunstwerke in Berlin (2003), the Venice Biennale (2003), the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris (2003), the ZKM in Karlsruhe (2004) and the Beijing Biennial (2004).

In 2014 he was invited by Rem Koolhaas, director of the Venice Biennale, to participate in the Monditalia section with the research project Ground Floor Crisis. Among the recent projects designed and built by Ghidoni there are the winning proposal for a temporary restaurant for the 25th Biennale Interieur in Kortrjik, Belgium (2016), the pavilion for the Mèxtropoli Festival in Mexico City (2017), the e-flux pavilion for the Milano ArchWeek (2018), the new Urban Center for the city of Milan (2019) and the new addition to the Venice Casino in Ca’ Noghera (2020). His project for the market square of Sant’Agostino (Ferrara), designed in collaboration with Enrico Dusi and completed in 2020, has been awarded the prestigious Gubbio Prize as the best national intervention on an area of historical interest.
