Movimento indefinito

Railway infrastructures connect regions, cities and people. Sometimes, however, they achieve the exact opposite. The freight railway yard at the south of the main train station of Verona, Porta Nuova, has been spatially separating the city for many years. The citizens are longing to see a new development and a change to their city-dynamics.

The old freight yard represents a contradiction: the division and connection of the north and south side of Verona. Its reuse will set the stage for better communication between the regions. Our studio focuses on the infrastructural and social transformation of the area. The new project should be accessible, durable and adaptable. We will conduct research on regional and city level and propose projects which will focus on movement, mobility, sustainability, sociology, green and blue corridors and infrastructural transformation.
