URBAN POROSITY | GALYNA TOLKACHOVA
The project stands on the intersection of two opposite urban concerns - land consumption and an increas-ing amount of abandoned spaces. Against many years of urbanization the project considers urban porosity as a way to solve these two problems at the expense one of another in order to achieve effective land use. The concept is approached at the under used area in South-Western part of Milan.

Continuous Urban fabric
Larger Urban Zone, Urban Audit 2004
In the last few decades in Italy, there has been massive urbanization disproportionate to the demographic increase, and mostly in the Po Valley (including Lombardy Region), where each day 200.000 m2 are urbanized, “about 30 soccer fields” (Legambiente Report, 2011)

CONTEXT / WATER SYSTEM
Rivers and lakes
Main canals
Secondary canals
Canals, which are planned to be uncovered 4 km of the project area are bordered by Naviglio Grande, an ancient water canal, leading from Lambro river to the Darsena in the city centre. Two secondary canals, cross the area which imply to be uncovered in the direction of Expo 2015 are also crucial for the project.

SITE ANALYSIS/MAIN AXES
Site is historically structured between two infrastructure axes: the water canal of Naviglio Grande and the train track which leads to countryside.
