Abstract
The paper describes the winner project in the "Design Competition for the Granatello Harbour and coastline redevelopment in Portici, Naples" (team leader: Edoardo Guazzoni with Valeria Pezza, Renato Capozzi, Angelo Paolo Albano, Uberto Siola, Federica Visconti, Emmanule Cecchi, Francesco Bocchino, Fabrizio Mirarchi, Salvatore Solaro, Edzard Gunther Friedrich Schultz, Emma Buondonno, Ginacarlo Battista, Goffredi Di Rienzo, Antonio Capone). The project was an important opportunity for the knowledge and reflection of the "difficult" relation between the infrastructure (road, railway and port) and the persistence of the historical territory in the coastline of Vesuvius characterized by a clear and unified design: a construction that held intelligible, at the same time, the nature, the history and human artifice. The slope of the ground from the railway to the urban fabric was used to cover the rails and the current walls between Pietrarsa and the Granatello advanced to obtain the reconstruction of the ancient topography: in this way it is possible to obtain the functional reconnection with the sea and a figurative and architectural reconfiguration of the historical construction. Villa d'Elboeuf foundational element of this formal and architectural world: the design of the harbour basin is referred to the villa, based on a central axis, attested to the ground. The 530 boat places guarantee the financial feasibility of the whole operation, inscribing old and new port in a measure and in a recognizable and unitary relationship. On the wall, the ground, arranged as a green area, was a continuing of the Royal Palace Park and composed, through a paratactic principle, the alignments and positions of the historical design. The advance beyond the rails of the embankment allowed the reconnection of the urban fabric and villas to the sea and the definition of a waterfront where the villa Menna bastion and the villa Lauro Lancellotti kaffee haus - moved on the other side of the rails as connection between the villa and the sea - were clearly placed. The dock at Pietrarsa was part of this ordered redrawing of the whole waterfront.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
