Il cluster commerciale Casamassima: confine ibrido tra città e campagna JO - TERRITORIO DA - 2/15/2014 12:00:00 AM DO - 10.3280/TR2014-068015 UR - http://www.francoangeli.it/Riviste/Scheda_rivista.aspx?idArticolo=50349 AU - Ferorelli, Rossella SP - 82 EP - 87 IS - 68 VL - LA - IT AB - This project offers an experiment to hybridise the city and the countryside, with strategies applied at both zonal and architectural levels. Currently, two large commercial clusters (and one residential) seal an area of soil equivalent to the entire builtup area. Focusing on one cluster, a radical renaturalisation is proposed along with the development of an urban park stretching into the city itself. The historical pattern of farmed fields becomes a planning principle and connects the zonal scale with the architectural. The largest built component in the commercial complex is removed from the urban fabric, broken down into three parts, and restored to a rural scale by completely covering it with vegetation.
