The proposal titled Agenti climatici wins the competition for the urban regeneration of the Farini and San Cristoforo rail yards in Milan: Arcadis Italia has focused on aspects of environmental sustainability in the master plan.
The winning project is the result of collaboration of a multidisciplinary, complex team co-directed by OMA, the international firm specializing in urban architecture and transdisciplinary research, and Laboratorio Permanente, the Milan-based studio of architecture and urban design.
In greater detail, the proposal calls for two new environmental devices: the first, in green, is a large linear wood in Scalo Farini, capable of freshening the warm winds from southwest, purifying the air (Limpidarium d’aria); the other, in blue, indicates a long linear system in the San Cristoforo rail area, for the purification of water (Limpidarium d’acqua).
