Cannobio, Piedmont, Italy, 2010. New Public Lakeside:
Identifying the specifics and needs of the site in order to valorise it and allow its sustainable use by all is the guiding thread of the intervention, designed for a public competition.
The strategic location and undoubted touristic value of the area lend themselves to the strengthening of infrastructures through the expansion and relocation of port services, the construction of a natural swimming pool and bathing facilities, and the improvement of the viability.
The landscape in its physical-environmental peculiarities suggests the arrangement along the East-West axis of the new urban space of interconnection between the different areas of the area: residence, commercial activities, service and support to citizens.
The level of solar irradiation, the presence of water and wind suggest an environmentally friendly energy management. The planting of plants and shrubs, with tasks of scenic landscape definition and bio regulation, will complete the project: large open green areas are designated for events and outdoor recreational activities, favouring comfort and environmental quality.
