STAY IN THE CITY 'AS THE SEA is a design approach to outline a solution for the Scope of Competition (ADC) adapted to the present day but is primarily aimed to imagine the city of the future , like any self-respecting urban planning should be done.
L ' Adc (Piazza Vittorio, the Napoleonic bridge, Piazza Gran Madre, the Murazzi and the banks of the Po, Michelotti park, the Monte dei Cappuccini, the Villa della Regina with his driveway) is a site of particular importance for Turin, here are concentrated and overlapping values: a monumental public spaces of its historic center, the fundamental presence of the river Po (PRGC already recognized as the "urban hub of leisure activities and rest") and access to green space consisting of the Hill.
a situation of exceptional environmental quality , a peculiarity to defend and develop through how to consume now forgotten or not yet explored.
E 'priority then recognize, preserve and use these values \u200b\u200bto be defending "roadway solutions" that could diminish or damage them.
The historic Old Town ( Cs) will become the place closed to automobiles, la tendenza è già in atto.
La mobilità nel Cs sarà quindi garantita in altro modo: trasporto pubblico e mezzi privati ecologici quali biciclette, bighe elettriche.
Per vivere meglio e per non morire soffocati dall’inquinamento, la mobilità urbana del futuro ( Mudf ) dovrà assumere nuove caratteristiche. Dovremo tornare ad utilizzare il più possibile forza motrice generata dal nostro corpo (andare a piedi, in bici, con pattini, skate, etc.) ottenendo così svariati vantaggi: in questo modo si fa sport, ci si muove senza inquinare, si limitano gli intasamenti di traffico e le necessità di parcheggio. Chi non vuole o non can use muscle power to move can still use light vehicles and space-saving motors with non-polluting and energy-efficient (such as bicycles, wheelchairs or electric chariot).
also due to the decrease of cars on the road would not be more congested traffic and public transport would become very efficient (as self-evident concept so far from being implemented). At the base of
Mudf there is both the actual achievement of adequate footpaths, cycle-shoes ( PCP) that the commitment of individuals to implement their own mobility PCP. The realization of
Mudf carries with it certain advantages for salute pubblica, l’efficienza dei trasporti e la qualità ambientale di molti luoghi urbani (che grazie all’assenza di automobili possono divenire più silenziosi, meno pericolosi e non inquinati).
In questa ottica il sistema di spazi pubblici e parchi che costituisce l’Adc entrerà a far parte del Cs libero dalle automobili private e sarà adeguatamente attrezzato con piste Pcp.
Purtroppo è stato recentemente realizzato il poco lungimirante parcheggio interrato di Piazza Vittorio Veneto, condannando la piazza e tutto l’ambito ad essa collegato alla imperitura presenza di flussi di automobili. Il corso San Maurizio e il corso Cairoli, che are less than two hundred meters from the square, were certainly more suitable to accommodate underground parking, ensuring the future possibility of full pedestrianize Piazza Vittorio.
has renounced the possibility of making the place a proper place Mudf crossed by only tracks PCP, with the consequent advantage of increased environmental quality. Therefore
this Contest, held the day after the inauguration of the parking lot, turns out to be a bit 'strange, but I might as well pay attention to what remains.
In order to protect its precious environmental system the ADC will be relieved as much as possible traffic flows in transit .
regard to traffic from north to south, along the Po, it is desirable that this content needs to be "local", diverting flows through the city on other traffic routes outer.
This north-south transit will in fact be better fulfilled by Corso Marche in the west and east from the highway to the east of the hill. Even
crossings in east-west direction will be diverted elsewhere, the accessibility to the flat part of the city by users from areas situated to the east and north of the Po will be ensured through the existing bridges placed upstream and downstream of the ADC, progressively moving away traffic from all over the Cs.
Any new vehicular bridge will certainly be made out by the ADC, thereby protecting the environmental values.
the ADC will thus become a place of exploration for Mudf.

to free the Piazza Gran Madre from the traffic we still essential to the construction of the subway of Piazza Gran Madre di Dio, prolonged compared to current projections (with a development of about 500 m) in order to increase the benefits In this way you will get a union between the park of Monte dei Cappuccini and the banks of the Po valley and the historic bridge and Grand mother develop a square junction Borgo between Po and the Po River Park Michelotti
portions of streets so free of self (the traits of being close to Moncalieri Corso Casale, Piazza Gran Madre) can relax large terrace overlooking the River.
To improve the usability of the ADC is shown, therefore a priority the need to affirm the vocation Pcp scope if it is to develop a real continuity between the Cs and the river banks until the ascent to the Villa della Regina, the Monte dei Cappuccini parks and hills.
for better links between the Cs and the city left bank of the Po plain in the Parco Michelotti, Piazza Gran Madre, the Monte dei Cappuccini, Villa della Regina and the hill on the right bank, This project proposes to achieve, in addition to the Napoleonic Bridge traffic free PCP on the axis of a new bridge over San Maurizio . The New Bridge
Pcp procure a number of advantages: the Corso San Maurizio will host a "real" track CFP (with other lanes devoted to various means of transport) addressed to the Park Michelotti, this park will become so highly accessible from the Cs and extensive areas of flat part of town;
the Napoleonic bridge will accommodate pedestrian traffic is slower, also inviting you to rest in a situation suitable to accommodate the simultaneous presence of many people (think of the busiest times of turistico); il Ponte Nuovo diverrà un simbolo della Mudf : “in città si lascia a casa l’auto”, innescando una reazione a catena capace di estendere i suoi effetti anche oltre il Cs; il Ponte Nuovo indurrebbe ad accedere a tutto l’ambito a piedi, in bici, con i pattini, lo skate, la biga elettrica…
Ovviamente tale atteggiamento dovrebbe essere accompagnato dal potenziamento dei servizi pubblici e da parcheggi interrati esterni all’Adc e al Cs.
Il Ponte Nuovo con la sua struttura ad arco alta 57 metri costituirà un segnale di identificazione per questo ambito destinato a divenire uno dei luoghi di attrazione del Cs. Inoltre il Ponte Nuovo, inserito nel contesto di cerniera tra città fiume e collina, diverrà moderna cornice per una serie di vedute tipiche di Torino, già più volte illustrate nell’iconografia storica.
Si vanno così delineando le caratteristiche di un esteso ambito precluso alle auto, in grado di offrire ai cittadini e ai turisti un ricco e vitale sistema di spazi pubblici concatenati, contraddistinti da svariate caratteristiche ambientali.
La piazza della Gran Madre rinascerà grazie all’affaccio diretto sul fiume (non più impedito dal traffico) e al collegamento con piazza Vittorio Veneto attraverso il Ponte Napoleonico. Le due piazze ai lati del fiume unite dal ponte will become the historic core of the monument (radically closed to traffic) and from here you will develop links with other parts of the ADC.
E 'desirable in the future to reject the access ramps to the underground parking of Piazza Vittorio (replacing them with ramps placed in the nearby streets), in order to ensure the pedestrian plaza for citizens and tourists. In the future the ADC has the credentials to become one of the most frequented by tourists steadily increasing, although this is guaranteed to Piazza Vittorio the highest environmental quality.
For Murazzi Po , now a place for nightlife, is certainly auspicabile una nuova vita anche diurna. Sviluppando attività legate alla presenza del Po è possibile indurre locali e attività commerciali a rimanere aperti anche durante le ore del giorno.
Prevediamo ripristino lungo le sponde di punti per il noleggio di barche a remi e il diffondersi progressivo di una dimensione balneare del luogo.
La balneazione in città è una potenzialità da coltivare per il futuro , riscoprendo una tradizione ora sopita.
Fino agli anni 50 a Torino si faceva il bagno nei fiumi, poi la balneazione è stata vietata a causa dell’inquinamento. Negli ultimi anni sono stati elaborati programmi per la purificazione delle acque. Ma purtroppo have to return to the rivers for bathing in the city will take many years to come.
The presence of the river with its banks of green in the city center, however, is an opportunity too rich to give up swimming, so we expect the implementation of different floating pools in the river (there are several examples of similar installations in other European cities), accompanied by beaches of sand, deck chairs, and the play (beach volleyball or flasks), achievable on the docks or on floating islands.
A series of large floating piers with wooden plank to provide landing canoes and rowing boats but will also be a good place to take the sun being on the water.
The pool and the floating islands can be hoisted by crane on the docks and made safe the river during floods. In part may be removable structures (through various elements and inflatable), used during the warm seasons.
Bathing in floating pools will still live in the river "by hand", raising expectations and commitment to a water purification, with the goal of return in the future for swimming in the river .
The banks downstream of the Napoleon bridge and dam below it are now characterized by shallow water and fast descent.
Towards the Po valley is inhabited by a rich bird life found in the river that "confluence park" (the part that flows into the Po and Dora and the Stura) a natural setting suitable for nesting by many species of birds. Although this peculiarity is a resource to be protected but we believe it is possible to establish coexistence between preservation of natural heritage and the usability of the river by human beings who inhabit the city.
This project aims to recover fully for sporting and water activities (with the presence of floating pools, beaches, etc..) Whole stretch of river between the bridge Napoleonic e il ponte di corso Regina Margherita.
A tal fine una nuova diga porterà alla formazione di un tratto di fiume con acqua a profondità controllata. I salti d’acqua generati dalle due dighe (quella esistente sita a valle del ponte Napoleonico e quella in progetto posta a monte del Ponte di Corso Regina) potranno essere superati dalle canoe grazie ad appositi scivoli.
Lungo le sponde saranno allestiti piscine galleggianti e pontili per l’imbarco e la sosta sul fiume.
Più a valle la navigazione sarà limitata: nel tratto del Po compreso tra il ponte di Corso Regina e il Parco della confluenza immaginiamo un programma per la navigazione attraverso questa natural oasis, only canoes and rowing.
. The Park
Michelotti, now a tight angle, narrow waterway between the river and the course does not currently Casale characterized by intense traffic fast, thanks to the expected revolution will be born around completely, assuming a central position nell'Adc. The new CFP
Ponte will arrive directly into the park.
Downstream of the intake works of the ancient canal will be built Michelotti the dock for canoes, and of course thanks all'interramento Casale the park will be in direct connection with the Borgo Po and Piazza Gran Madre.
is expected to maintain the existing trees and the main buildings of the former Zoo, as reusable services for the park (bars, restaurants, places for children to play and exposure to cultural). The fence of the former zoo will be eliminated by redesigning the strip below the course Casale to insert it into the body of the new park.
Towards the river will be carried out a series of loops changing the profile of the bank in order to achieve a slope that slopes gently towards the beach.
paths in the park will follow the curves and their sinuous upstream is also repeated in opposition to the linearity of the course Casale and creating a series of activities and areas with different characteristics.
In connection with the Public Library will be built a conservatory equipped with rest areas for reading.
It also provides for the construction of two buildings for the storage of boats in the vicinity of the new piers on the Po
The development of bathing in the city will be in Park Michelotti new opportunities: in the trees of the park is new outdoor swimming pools, architraves throughout the winter. The historical society
Bowling Bridge located next to Corso Regina Margherita will be maintained, it will be built in front of an underground car park.
The Monte dei Cappuccini will reached on foot along the historic street in a spiral shape, in addition, there will also be expected rebound mechanized stood at the foot of Mt. On the banks of Po, a short distance, there will be a point of embarkation, a dock with the opportunity to rent paddle boats. In Ginzburg
neighboring gardens is planned for another winter garden, a greenhouse overlooking the river, equipped with chairs to relax here during the cold months. The
via Villa della Regina will be transformed into tree-lined boulevard (the traces of its original shape historical) equipped for mobility PCP. The section of the avenue will be such that the movement of public transport vehicular accessibility to residents.
The intention of spreading Mudf in this project also extends to the proposal to build a track PCP via Santa Giulia board of the district Vanchiglia. An analysis of the context shows clearly that this is another important access to the ADC by a densely populated neighborhood and just as densely crossed by flows of traffic directed to the Cs. The district Vanchiglia
century could become an extension of Cs released from traffic, increasing the area linked to the centrality of leisure along the banks of the Po
The track Vanchiglia PCP combined with those provided along the Po, the Corso San Maurizio and the boulevard of Via Villa della Regina will become a model to extend to every neighborhood the Mudf . And 'in fact desirable that each district beginning to adopt a street transformed into a boulevard, where stop and move along tracks PCP.
