The paper focuses on the reinterpretation of the San Pellegrino railway station renovation project by architect Andrea Milesi. The intervention is a pretext to understand some of the characteristics of the development of San Pellegrino, one of the most important Italian thermal centres, a symbol of the belle époque, today a sublime landscape where the buildings, once a landmark of a flourishing, leisure season, have themselves become part of that vision. The station designed in 1906 by the Milanese architect Romolo Squadrelli has been the subject of a recent redevelopment project. The intervention is defined by a series of graftings that follow the original nature of the building. The new volume fits under the wooden canopy behind it until it joins the right wing, forming a potentially infinite geometry. The extension seen in the plan drawing suggests the image of an organic body that insinuates itself between the spaces of the existing columns. From the outside, it appears as a new sign of the uncanny, highlighting the contrast between the infinite and the finite.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the reinterpretation of the San Pellegrino railway station renovation project by architect Andrea Milesi. The intervention is a pretext to understand some of the characteristics of the development of San Pellegrino, one of the most important Italian thermal centres, a symbol of the belle époque, today a sublime landscape where the buildings, once a landmark of a flourishing, leisure season, have themselves become part of that vision. The station designed in 1906 by the Milanese architect Romolo Squadrelli has been the subject of a recent redevelopment project. The intervention is defined by a series of graftings that follow the original nature of the building. The new volume fits under the wooden canopy behind it until it joins the right wing, forming a potentially infinite geometry. The extension seen in the plan drawing suggests the image of an organic body that insinuates itself between the spaces of the existing columns. From the outside, it appears as a new sign of the uncanny, highlighting the contrast between the infinite and the finite.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
