Riqualificazione Piazza Caduti dei Lager

Integrated procurement for the executive design and redevelopment of a public square in which to play the district market weekly. Many countries and cities around the world are struggling with the decision whether to create a square or a park, give the public perception of a civic space with hard surfaces, one or more open sides as the square of an important building or central square closed with closed perimeters with retail stores, restaurants, etc.. ... The squares are collecting spaces that are often in a highly urban context with ample areas of hardscape even for a multitude of programs and placemaking. Although they can be very asphyxiating in summer and cold in winter, the squares are often seen as places of business and commerce allowing various groups to get together to shop, dine, watch and enjoy the city life. The answer is not always clear as cities try to find a balance between the civic and environmental needs of the community, the most important element is to understand the context of the site to determine the best use of the place, an open space located in the peripheral area and seeds surrounded by residential buildings and public green lends itself to a park with a variety of uses and able to serve a wider demography, trying to create the hybrid idea of bringing the square into the park and the park in the square that allow a variety of active and passive schedules.
