MAGNIFICA FABBRICA - PARCO DEL TEATRO ALLA SCALA

  

A single urban regeneration process creates a space dedicated to theatre and art

With the 'Magnifica Fabbrica' competition, the

 workshops of Teatro alla Scala will be moved from the spaces of the former
Ansaldo in the Tortona neighbourhood to the Rubattino district, an area
characterised by the powerful presence of an industrial past still visible in
the impressive structure of the Palazzo di Cristallo, which will be
refurbished and redeveloped by the project.

 

Park Associati’s project stemmed from the desire
to create a single urban regeneration process of the neighbourhood through a
virtuous path of collaboration between the two areas, the park and the
industrial district, and the activities existing within them. This is how the
project Parco del Teatro alla Scala was born, a wider, more articulated system
covering the 160,000 square metres of the competition area. The park's project
consists of a system of art nodes recalling the world of theatre and art, with
the natural landscape restoring the role of social connector of the workshops’
space. The Parco del Teatro alla Scala is thought to be an interactive meeting place
where the roles of spectator and 'actor' alternate in space.
