Redline

Red Line is a new meeting point in the Southwest of Milan. The area is located between the center of Milan and  the suburb, near the Naviglio Pavese. It is a filter for many things: people, places, districts, transportations, behawiour. Creating a new attraction point and requalifying a place for everyone is one of the main aims of the Red Line. The project site is located in an historical place, next to the San Cristoforo Chapel, the design is inspired by one of the main symbols of Milan, the big drake of the Visconti family in the middleage.

This new snake is a landscape infrastructure which connects with a high passage two districts well known for art and design. The project was designed taking into consideration the context and all the recent functions in the surrounding area. Red is a very strong colour meaning love, anger, power, fire, blood, energy, passion, desire and many other emotions.

The project is one of the first outcomes of the new international Master in Science in Landscape Architecture _ Land Landscape Heritage by the AUIC School of the Politecnico di Milano. Land Landscape and Heritage puts in a nutshell an original combination of disciplines that are strictly related to the specificity of the Italian and European contexts and contemporary landscape challenges.
