The Sannazzaro masterplan creates a unique opportunity to rethink the city model of Brescia, which like many Italian cities, contains a fractured periphery.  This periphery is in constant change and as such fails to reach a quality comparable to that of the historical city center. Sannazzaro endeavors to develop a new node for Brescia, a counterweight to the historical center, and incorporate 21st century ideas of sustainability, public space, architecture and program.  Studio Daniel Libeskind designed the master plan, as well as the central municipality buildings and eastern residential block.  SDL worked with DOP Dante Benini and Partners on this project.
