The Città Studi university campus is a strategic place in the city of Milan, not only because of its central
location well served by public transportation systems but above all because it is home to two of Italy’s
primary universities (Università degli Studi and Politecnico di Milano).
Living every day on the Città Studi Campus means participating in common activities such as
attending classes, studying in the library, working as a team, eating, drinking, using the bathroom,
resting when necessary and possible, and so on. But the liveability of the Città Studi Campus is something
more complicated than the sum of these individual actions.
The corridor we chosed is an important connection axis between the north and south wings of
university building. This space is structered by arches that enclosuer an aesthetic garden. Even though
it is busy of walking people, there is no actual interaction between the users and this spectacular
scenery.
Our proposal emphazises the existing potintial of the site, by optimizing the space and its elegant
arched shape. Green pause achieves to recreate a daily gathering place thanks to a soft shaped
seating area that preserves the harmony of the classical arches shaped corridor.
The new seats not only would allow students and staff to read, have a coffee, Sleep or chat, but also,
acting as a frames, they would enhance this garden as a picturesque scenery.
