Private Villa with a olive grove recovery in Genoa, Italy by AGLarchitects

Monday, April 11th, 2022

Article source: AGLarchitects

The private villa is located in Rapallo, near ther city of Genoa, facing the Tigullio Gulf. The land around the site is used as olive grove, in fact there are a beautiful trees with variable height between 3 and 4 meters (about 123 plants). Thanks to the excellent exposure (the slope is developed from north to south and overlooking the sea to the west), can be found also the fruit trees, typical of the Ligurian and Mediterranean peasant culture (fig, plum, carob, etc..) and small “clearings” used for horticultural crops. The project wants to recover the entire olive grove, thanks to the creation of a new building and related exterior maintenance. Stone and wood, (wild chestnut), are the traditional materials.

Ponte Parodi in Genoa, Italy by UNStudio

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Article source: UNStudio

The Ponte Parodi project is part of the Italian city of Genoa’s plan for the revitalization of the harbour front area. As the industrial activities relocate, the city is reclaiming the vacated waterfront area by adding public attractors and creating a new destination, designed to extend the city centre towards the waterfront.

The competition design for the Ponte Parodi harbour front area was based on three principal actions; linking, programming and clustering, with clear goals responding to the needs of the site, its surroundings and the inhabitants of Genoa. The three original actions correspond to the three values which guide the design: sociability, quality and discovery.
