Parcheggio Pubblico

Di­rectly below the set­tle­ment ter­race of Soglio, a pub­lic park­ing area is in­tended to re­lieve the his­toric vil­lage cen­ter. Like the geometrized baroque gar­dens wrested from the topog­ra­phy, it is in­serted into the ter­rain as an ar­ti­fi­cial sur­face. A wall en­closes the site and forms the spa­tial ves­sel. An at­tached small struc­ture and the pedes­trian stair­case an­chor the park­ing level and in­te­grate it into the ty­pol­ogy of pe­riph­eral gar­den fa­cil­i­ties. The roof of the park­ing deck is de­tached from the en­clos­ing wall and placed as a table in the con­tainer. Min­i­mally sup­ported, haunches span the wide space. The re­cessed, curved metal drainage chan­nels re­late to the baroque iron­work of the palazzi and gar­dens.
