FG – Javier Gavín Balda y Laura Florentín Aragón
Considering motorinos as a dynamic, versatile vehicle, the parking could not be a static system but a new frame for experience and interacting with the urban scene. The great urban void in Piazza dei Cinqueccento becomes a hall to the train station, saturated with parking areas and little comfortable public spaces. This meant an opportunity to create and multiply public space generating small squares in different heights. The aim of the project is not to build a compact block, but to dematerialize the parking in a system of horizontal planes dialoging with all cantilevers, pergolas, covers and other elements we find in the site. From inside the parking, views are extended throughout the city, blurring the limits of the project and the piazza.

The different parts of the program are fit into the horizontal planes system in different levels. A network of slight ramps connects the different “trays” and the street, organizing movement in the system. Existing vegetation is introduced in the proposal by integrating the biggest trees through holes in the planes. The small ones are planted out into new green areas in the project.
