PARCO DI VIA DANTE - CAIRATE


Concorso di idee
Cairate, Varese (IT)


Year: 2024
Team: Luca Luini, Lorenza Sartori, Riccardo Masiero, Riccardo Piconi
Status: Lost Competition






The project lot in via dante, represents an important urban void within the city center, in direct contact with the large territorial system of the olona valley, and with the consolidated fabric of the city.
The olona valley can be developed for leisure, sport, culture, production, and innovation, benefiting the city of Cairate. To this end, connecting the city center to the valley is important physically, trough routes that facilitate ascent/descent into the valley, and by providing the city with an attractive and varied programmatic offer. In the olona Valley, there are several important activities currently present and under development.









The restoration and expansion of the 19th-century villa’s park provides an opportunity for social renewal and environmental revitalization in the heart of Cairate.
The park in via dante, which was born as a private garden of romantic taste, has over the years become an area that was first cultivated and finally uncultivated and abandoned, thus seeing its original conformation irreversibly lost.

 

The park on Via Dante, originally created as a private garden with a typical romantic aesthetic, has evolved over the years from a well-mantained area to an abandoned and uncultivated space, leading to the irreversible loss of its original form. The project aims to re-imagine both the historical, architectural and natural elements of the garden, including its wooded and rural landscape, to establish a diverse ecosystem.









The garden is designed as a series of natural rooms, bordered by strip of layered vegetation. Paths and activities wind through the garden, providing shaded areas for rest, spaces for interaction, large lawns that slope down towards the valley below. The park’s paths are envisioned as a continuous gentle ribbon that conform the shape of the land, and the green space within it.
