NOVEMBER 2006 NEWS ARCHIVE
November 2006 EXPO 2015: RHO-PERO GIVES MILAN TRADE FAIRS AN ADDED ADVANTAGE Expo 2015 will see Milan in the role of city-region, the heart of a system also included Genoa and Turin: this is the idea of the Milan Chamber of Commerce. The Expo 2015 event will be held in the Rho-Pero exhibition centre, offering a series of social facilities - such as the new interactive science and technical museum and kids' town - executive buildings and research centres for multimedia communications and ITC, all integrated with the new Milan Trade Fair Centre - a 'Made in Italy' village - a new Metropolitan light railway connecting the exhibition grounds with San Raffaele Hospital. With this new trade fair centre, Milan is moving further west, into the Milan-Turin-Genoa macro-region, thus allowing Italian trade fairs an extra opportunity in terms of strategic position. This challenge calls for new buildings to house museums, executive offices and research centres, also with a view to increased tourism, costing almost 7 billion euro.

November 2006 CAGLIARI: ZAHA HADID DESIGNS THE BETILE MUSEUM PROJECT The design for the Mediterranean museum of nuraghic and contemporary art, due to be constructed on the Sant'Elia waterfront in Cagliari, is by Anglo-Iraqi architect, Zaha Hadid. Inspired by coral formations, imitating their cavities and porous surfaces, and reproducing marine erosion, it will involve buildings and spaces visible from various observation points, forming two continuous facings. Zaha Hadid's design represents a new perception of the Cagliari landscape, a way of interpreting the link between the historic and future identities of Sardinia.

The design is not only as a simple meeting place active just one day a week, but as a construction to be exploited to its full potential, with sports halls, fitness centres, health and rehabilitation centres, shopping centres and concert areas, enhancing the surrounding area yet at the same time of low environmental impact. Constructed in or close to a city park, it will be almost totally independent from an energy and environment sustainability point of view, with the dual objective of providing a more comfortable and usable stadium while keeping costs low. The project has aroused considerable interest in Coni, Federcalcio and in other countries including China, Russia and South Africa.

Turkish Public Works Minister, Nafiz Ozak, made the announcement, putting an end to the controversy which arose over the fact that Istanbul has only one underwater tunnel to cope with the intense traffic of a city with 15 million inhabitants. The chaotic traffic situation leads to an annual loss of 1.5 billion dollars, every road user forced to waste around 45 minutes a day on the two existing bridges.

November 2006 40 BILLION DOLLAR PROJECT FOR AN ALL-LEISURE TOWN Ferrari and construction: two worlds to be combined in "Yas Island", an all-leisure town to be built on the largest island of Abu Dhabi. The project will be constructed by the Aldar Properties group, transforming this currently uninhabited area into a prestigious and luxury leisure resort, with fully equipped beaches, entertainment of various kinds, shopping centres, hotels, holiday apartments, golf courses, horse riding centres and motor sports circuits. Completion is due in 2014 and will also host the first "Ferrari World" theme park.

The new centre will include professional Visual Communication, Fashion and Beauty, Computer Studies and Multimedia Technologies training centres, and will host the new offices and provincial services of the Economy and Labour departments, the Milano Metropoli development agency and the Innovation agency. The complex is composed of two parallel blocks overlooking a gallery; a hanging garden will contain plants, fountains, meeting points and relaxation areas. Access to the three underground levels will be by means of a spiral, a kind of vast glass crater, covered by two enormous crowning sails in white steel covered in photovoltaic panels. The materials and technologies adopted will allow energy savings and reduce pollution, the special feature of the Studio Benini project, works on which are due to commence in 2007.

The common project consists in an island, or rather an archipelago of small artificial islands, produced in natural materials, as in Surfer Paradise in Norrowneck, La Grande Motte in Monaco, Java in Amsterdam, Island of the Day After off Tel Aviv and the Genoa Waterfront. Constructed from sea sand and other natural materials, they will form a tidal barrier and a new city development area for use as a semi-floating harbour, nature reserve, an area dedicated to industry and fashion, even a peace centre for theology students. The proposals can be considered the start of a rethinking process for a balanced development of Italy's coastal towns and cities. Source: www.archimagazine.com |
