Article source: Gianluca milesi architecture ”The Net” A bridge is built to connect two points and to remove an obstacle. The “Bussa” is the bridge connecting two parts of the city of Milan separated by a high speed road, a train line and tall buildings. but is closed do the public and in state of neglect and decay. But a bridge is a connection, so we thought the our project should emphasize this idea of connection. We thought to a structural “Net” as the physical and symbolic imagine of the project.

This Net is thought to put the two different areas of the city “On line”. “The space in the middle, to bypass and stay” A bridge is a passage space, in an “in the middle space”, a border space. But we wanted a better bridge. For this reason we thought to a space where people should pass by but should also slow down, stop and enjoy the time in the city in an agreeable environment.

This structure develops itself at different levels between an height of 3 and 10 meters reaching the ground in particular points and defining and wrapping the space below. This space is conceived as a park with green areas, vegetable gardens, sport and leisure structures ordered on a linear path. The net is supporting a variety of vegetation on its top and along the parts reaching the ground and this vegetation gives shadow where is needed.

It’s conceived as an “in the making” structure where the growing green, the changing of the covered areas will create a “flexible” environment.

A part for few areas such as the bicycle path and the service road that are paved with stones the whole are is green.
