This paper introduces the project submitted to the 2024 call for proposals issued by the ProArch Scientific Society. The project emerged from a dialogue between academics and students from different educational backgrounds, brought together by a shared interest in exploring transdisciplinary design approaches rooted in Mediterranean culture. The proposed intervention focuses on the urban area between the historic city centre and the university facilities in Perugia, developing strategies to reconnect fragmented urban spaces through the hybridisation of two distinct ground conditions: one natural and the other mineral. The ‘street’ becomes a design device inspired by ancient aqueducts, capable of regenerating urban and landscape connections. The new building, replacing the existing university canteen, acts as an urban condenser between these two ground conditions, accommodating collective facilities and student housing. The intervention as a whole establishes a new metropolitan topology capable of transforming residual spaces into a contemporary and inclusive urban landscape, in which the city becomes ‘porous’ and liveable for people of all generations.
Il contributo introduce il progetto presentato alla call della Società Scientifica ProArch 2024. Il progetto nasce dal dialogo tra docenti e studenti di diverse provenienze accademiche, uniti nell'esplorare modalità progettuali transdisciplinari e radicate nella cultura mediterranea. L'intervento si concentra sull’area urbana tra la città storica e le strutture universitarie di Perugia, proponendo strategie di riconnessione tra ambiti frammentati tramite l’ibridazione di due “suoli” – uno naturale e uno minerale. La “strada” diventa dispositivo progettuale ispirato agli acquedotti antichi, capace di rigenerare connessioni urbane e paesaggistiche. Il nuovo edificio, sostitutivo della mensa, funge da condensatore urbano tra questi suoli e ospita funzioni collettive e residenze studentesche. L’intero intervento definisce una nuova topologia metropolitana capace di trasformare spazi residuali in un paesaggio urbano contemporaneo e inclusivo, dove la città diventa “porosa” e vivibile per tutte le generazioni.
Suoli per la gente. Nuove superfici minerali e naturali per la città universitaria

Abstract
This paper introduces the project submitted to the 2024 call for proposals issued by the ProArch Scientific Society. The project emerged from a dialogue between academics and students from different educational backgrounds, brought together by a shared interest in exploring transdisciplinary design approaches rooted in Mediterranean culture. The proposed intervention focuses on the urban area between the historic city centre and the university facilities in Perugia, developing strategies to reconnect fragmented urban spaces through the hybridisation of two distinct ground conditions: one natural and the other mineral. The ‘street’ becomes a design device inspired by ancient aqueducts, capable of regenerating urban and landscape connections. The new building, replacing the existing university canteen, acts as an urban condenser between these two ground conditions, accommodating collective facilities and student housing. The intervention as a whole establishes a new metropolitan topology capable of transforming residual spaces into a contemporary and inclusive urban landscape, in which the city becomes ‘porous’ and liveable for people of all generations.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
