The new office tower envisaged by Park Associati’s project for the former Hotel Michelangelo is destined to become the landmark that will lead the way in the redevelopment of Piazza Luigi di Savoia – adjacent to the Stazione Centrale – by reconnecting car and pedestrian flows and promoting alternative mobility thanks to the creation of a bicycle parking station.

Following the complete demolition of the hotel, the new complex comprises two adjacent towers rising from a four-storey volume whose facades are in line with the surrounding buildings, thus creating a visual connection between the complex and the square’s structures.

2022 sees the beginning of the redevelopment, restoration and conservative refurbishment of the building in via Turati 32 in Milan, entrusted by Artisa Group to Park Associati. Designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and Luigi Fratino as part of the complex that houses the Museo della Permanente, the twelve-storey tower comprising 5,000 square metres of office space will maintain its current intended use after the intervention.

Stemming from a thorough analysis of the surrounding context – strongly characterised by contemporary architectures – and respect for the original project, the new design aims to maintain and enhance the formal uncluttered style of the building's lines, emphasising the composition's sobriety.

The removal of any superfetation and the building’s adaptation to the current plant needs and to the casing’s performance requirements aim to minimise, where possible, the impact of the interventions and to create ad hoc elements  integrated with the original project.

Aldo Mucciarone and Giacomo Quinland are winners of the third edition of Park Associati’s Milano Design Week Call, dedicated to designers under 30. The projects by the two young designers will be on show at Park Hub on June 6-12 2022 during the Milano Design Week.

Punti di vista (Points of view) is the theme of the second edition of the Courmayeur Design Weekend, which takes place from 10th to 13th March offering a programme of meetings, exhibitions and sporting events that will involve architects, designers and design practices.

For the series of meetings with architects and designers curated by Giorgio Tartaro, on Saturday 12th March Michele Rossi will be presenting the Salewa Headquarters project of Bolzano as an example of successful integration of and interaction between architecture, innovative work environment, sustainable technologies and natural environment.

This year’s second edition of the CirculAr Master of the University of Camerino proposes approaches, methodologies and tools focused on the circularity of the processes of transformation of the built environment. The meeting between CirculAr and Park Plus and the sharing of their mutual experiences represent an opportunity to make forward-looking yet tangible reflections on the contribution architectural culture can offer within the context of ecological transition.

Università di Camerino, Scuola di Architettura e Design, Thursday 10th March at 10 am.

This debate saw a group of selected designers reflect on the practical approach architecture must adopt to build a sustainable future from a collective and universal angle, integrating past culture and future technology.

Elisa Taddei, Associate at Park, underlined the importance of experimentation and research in bringing clients to open their mind to new materials and construction methods, in view of creating buildings that are both dynamic and sustainable that can follow change also in terms of space accessibility.
