L’infrastruttura scomparsa. Il nuovo suolo della stazione Alta Velocità La Sagrera a Barcellona
2017
L’enorme progetto appena completato a Barcellona per il nuovo polo ferroviario della stazione Sagrera si caratterizza soprattutto per il legame fra la nuova stazione dell’Alta Velocità (AVE) e il vasto parco lineare, progetto opera di West 8, che copre la lunga trincea un tempo determinata nel tessuto urbano dai binari preesistenti. Ricostruendo il quadro di uno dei più grandi e ambiziosi progetti di rigenerazione urbana legati all’infrastruttura ferroviaria oggi in Europa, questo articolo si concentra sulla subordinazione della stazione al parco. Non si tratta di una semplice condizione di posizione (la stazione è letteralmente sotto il parco), ma di una nuova e sempre più diffusa condizio…
Infrastructure as Interface: Thinking the Urban and the High-speed Railway Station: Italian Case-studies
2013
The recent launching in Italy of a number of large scale urban operations centered around High Speed Railway (HSR) stations has added a wealth of examples and themes to the overall European picture; these go to make up a global point of reference for other countries that are, in this period, undertaking the construction of their own HSR networks. Above and beyond the territorial questions often linked to the issue, further research investigating the architectural aspect of these operations would be highly relevant, but is rather lacking. Instead, we shall be focusing on current HSR stations in Italy, such as Turin Porta Susa, Florence Belfiore and Rome Tiburtina, and comparing them briefly,…
Fra le reti e la città. Lo spazio delle nuove stazioni per l'Alta Velocità
2014
Between networks and cities: Architectural space in the new High-Speed train stations. Over the past thirty years, megainvestment rail projects in Western Europe have become powerful transformation vectors. An extensive literature addresses the issue with an urban engineering oriented approach, concerned primarily with the large scale and focusing on governance and urban planning. This monograph section of “Trasporti & Cultura” examines the relationship of new high-speed railroad stations to their cities. The objective is to investigate the depth and meaning of the transformations being wrought by the new stations, in a comparative international scenario. Articles on Japan and China are fol…
