Pian Scairolo Lugano

Pianscairolo is a competition contribution for the transformation of the Pianscairolo valley in the Ticino District. The valley is located west from Lugano, a urban planning disaster with a lace of commercial buildings of very low architectonic quality. You may say that this valley is violated and the competition intentions were to restore the identity of the valley by reintroducing typical landscape themes. By reorganizing and the obligatory movement of existing activities, the project introduces new areas with new destinations like, nature, recreation and housing. The traffic circulation is completely changed and a substantial public transport network is proposed to reduce the enormous traffic pressure in this valley.
