THE CITY UPON THE CITY | Arch. Simone Patruno
Senigallia / Italy / 2012
0
Nowadays, the urban centre
of Senigallia is divided in two
parts, the ancient part and the
“Hotel Marche area”, by the
railroads.
The ancient part, with the
Castle and his foro Annoario, is
the richest and most important
part of the city, and a lot of
people walk across it each day.
On the other hand, the
“Hotel Marche area“ is sited
nearby to the beach and people
used to attend this area during
summer season only, leaving it
desolated for the other months
of the year.
For these reasons, there is
a huge gap between the two
parts of the city.
Aim of the design is the
renewal of the “Hotel Marche
area” and linking it with the
ancient part.
So, a 16m tall and 300m
long bridge wants to link these
neighbourhoods and, as the
“Superstudio’s Monumento
Continuo”, to delete the gaps
which now are between them.
It’ll be a real city upon the
city, which will o er housing
and services to the Senigallia’s
inhabitants, hosting hundreds
of people all day, all the year
and being a reference point for
the city.
The old building of the Hotel
Marche sited on the area will be
recycled and will be a museum
dedicated to the contemporary
Marche region’s art and to the
Superstudio’s works.
