Док ми градимо нова гета на тешкој периферији града у Торину нам задали домаћи задатак.
Ревитализација индустријских зона у центру града
Spina 3, about a kilometre and half north of Porta Susa Station, is located in an area which was a site of industry until a few years ago.
Starting from the last decade of the 19th century, the river Dora Riparia (whose water was used for power) favoured the establishment of important industries like Ferriere FIAT (iron metallurgy), Michelin (tyres), Paracchi (carpets), Superga (shoes), and Officine Savigliano (electrical and railway manufactured goods).
The impression here is that Turin's architects concentrated more on the style than on the structure of their city. Many of the buildings that make up Spina 3 can be recognize for their Gabetti&Isola style, a language which since the 1960's serviced the city as a common theme, an alternative to its industrial history. Porticoes, loggias and sloping roofs follow different directions, with bright colours and irregular windows; the residential blocks in this new part of the city want to be charming.
Not far away, we find a church of Mario Botta, a shopping centre with a large parking lot, an Environment Centre and a building designed by the French architect Jean-Pierre Buffi. These heterogeneous functions are mediated by the comforting presence of the Dora Riparia river.
The two centres are of some interest; the centre for shopping and the centre for the environment. Both work in accord with the theme of the ground's slopes, trying to reconcile the land and cars, which still need to learn to coexist. One centre is behind the other. Their presence is muted and soft. The shopping centre and the Environment Centre are places where you can stroll in the domesticated greenery of a city, which seeks to be like a large park, at least here.
Past the Dora is the building by Buffi. The French architect found the right tone of mediation between Turin's former industrial identity, and its push in the direction of a more artisanal, domestic architecture. His building is a horizontal building with a double structure clad in bricks panels. The similarity of its form and structure with the Lingotto building is likely intentional.

The course of the vast productive zone of Turin, flourished at the end of the 19th century along the city rivers, ends at the end of the 80's, with the closing of almost all the productive units. Among those, within the "Borgo Dora" district, is the "Michelin" area.
With the approval of the P.R.G. (1995), also the "ex Michelin" area becomes the centre of an Urban Redevelopment Project. Heart of this project is the large square, unfolding on two levels; open, at the same time to be discovered. It is surrounded by a shopping mall, restaurants, shops, a multiplex and a frame of buildings intended for commerce and services, but, by contrast with the barriers of the industrial past, the inside/outside distances are canceled.
Vertical connections, bridges, porches and pathways allow to pass through spaces at different levels and along various axis, even towards the outer spaces, so that the square, the Dora park and the city are interconnected.
The project transforms the area into a "buildings' organism", each different but with mutual cross-references in the volumes design and in the materials used, such as glass, clay and aluminium.
Although within a "common language", each building is unique, because of the special use of specific materials, such as serigraph glass for "the cube" in the south-east angle of the complex, or fibro-cement for the multiplex.

Могу само да приметим да би овакав подухват у Београду изгледао много боље јер су наше индустријске зоне на две велике реке које пролазе кроз сам центар града. Ово је комотно могло и на тему о Савамали,Луки Београд,ИМТ-у...
. Zaista, treba se zapitati, kako to da su ove stare zgrade toliko dugo prezivele ako su vec "potrosne"? I ovi u Torontu su to puno bolje izveli (hvala na linku!), mada bih ja tu voleo da vidim vise mastovite i hrabrije dogradnje i konverzacije novog sa starim, dok ovde u Torinu vidim samo jedan stari kostur koji je ostavljen malo "k'o od bede". Steta. I razocaranje
