The project site, currently surrounded by noisy and
heavy traffic - initially a relatively wide area – was progressively downsized due to a series
of building interventions. The last of these - the building of a public parking
- introduced a dramatic change in the original form of the site and therefore
the need for a comprehensive reclaiming. A large hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) tree
buffer, protects the garden from the surrounding visual and acoustic noise. The
garden is organized according to a set of rooms developed around a large
central “hall”: a sunken garden directly related to the terrace of the new sports
center.
