multinational athelic centre in ponte-chiasso
“Naturam expellas furca, tamen usque recurret”. (Oratio)
The Multinational Athletics Centre is conceived as a functional answer to promote the thematic goal of urban stitching, where the
railway tracks represent the city’s wound to be knitted, and nature the fundamental resource to be re-connected to the rest of the city,
a locus that is progressively forgetting the healing touch of a well-conceived green space. The project is consequently divided between
infrastructural interventions, such as the bridge that covers the terminal part of the railway before the gallery; construction of new
buildings, such as the new guest-house for foreign athletes or in need for accommodation during competitions; and the re-use of
disused structures, such as the Albarelli derelict, which is transformed into a place for scheduling events, gyms, swimming pools and
accessories to the guest house. Ideally, the re-development of the identified project areas aims to encourage the use of an abandoned
location through incentivising the sport practice, and spe- cifically, all the branches connected to Athletics, inserted in a suggestive
context of nature, freely provided by the enchanting mountainsides of the Monte Sasso, localised in the larger area of the Parco Regionale
Spina Verde, extending from Como to Chiasso. This targeted interventions are specifically proposed following the underlined
common-goal of achieving an operative complex in the most sustainable way possible, by respecting 3 important target objectives:
MATERIALS, PHONIC COMFORT and PHYSICAL COMFORT.
