Abstract

Stanga square and Venice road, in Padova, are the layout of the project that redefines a crossroads star, featuring a place that doesn’t show any architectural quality. The project tries to give shape to this space through architecture, building the theme of the city gate. The project presents a series of autonomous buildings that give life to an urban set articulated in an archipelago of singular points, held together by relations of mutual tension established between the different elements in space.
