In Segrate, a comune in East Milan, you can feel the presence of a warm and open community, with some shattered attempts to import social driven spaces amongst the housing. The aim was to improve the public spaces network. On a macro scale, the coherence of the place is broken by the limits around and through Milan. On a micro scale, there are obvious attempts to bring green, cultural and social spaces to this area, though none reach a level of intimacy due to being always overwhelmed by the urban, industrial or rural landscape.

The physical spaces were formed using the concept of waterdrops with various dimensions, around and intersecting the main lake in Segrate, all of them connected by an alternate land/on water wooden path that outlines the lake.

Therefore, a social-cultural city center was developed in order to create a park for all generations, full with possibilities and different uses. The new park had a water sports club, a beach, a green crater for relaxation, an amphitheatre for cultural programs, an area destined to agriculture for Segrate’s local residents, green spaces, sports fields and the global path to walk, jog or simply to enjoy nature. A bridge was also created in order to connect the park to the comune located at north of Segrate.
