The project concerns the redevelopment of the former Arsenale area, a site of approximately 140,000 sqm along the Ticino River and crossed by the Navigliaccio canal, characterized by high environmental and natural value. The intervention represents a unique opportunity for urban regeneration and territorial enhancement, integrating public functions, environmental safety, and landscape quality.
The urban plan provides for a strategic road network, featuring a circular route along the eastern perimeter dedicated to light traffic and a boulevard on the western side, as well as parking areas and east–west connections to ensure optimal accessibility.
Green areas and the water flowing from the canal and the Ticino River become defining elements of the project, further enhanced by urban furnishing interventions and the surrounding urban regeneration initiatives. The project meets the technical and functional needs of the public administrations that will occupy the redeveloped buildings, complying with LEED HB and/or LEED BD+C certification protocols, the CAM (Minimum Environmental Criteria), and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) objectives.
Ex-Arsenale diventa così un modello di architettura contemporanea, architettura masterplan e architettura per edifici istituzionali, dove la ristrutturazione di edifici storici e l’innovazione progettuale si incontrano, grazie alla collaborazione di rinomati architetti vincitori di concorsi. Questo intervento rappresenta un chiaro esempio di edilizia pubblica che coniuga sostenibilità, funzionalità e valorizzazione del patrimonio territoriale.
