Urban regeneration project of the Camerini gardens in Piazzola sul Brenta

The Camerini garden in Piazzola sul Brenta, subject to landscape restrictions, is a 'fragment of forgotten space', suspended between the post-Palladian monumentality of villa Contarini, industrial archeology and hydraulic engineering. The redevelopment project of CZstudio associated gives it back to the contemporary landscape, without renouncing a transformation process that includes the recycling of existing figures and materials. The first action of the project is to recognize the potential of the garden to be a 'locus'. It proposes a strategy that implements and requalifies the relational system, creating a new cycle-pedestrian path that stitches up the fragmented network of urban cycling, characterizing itself in the recycling of available resources. The compositional logic is simple, but not reductionist: it aims to find the 'right place' where objects take on meaning. The garden space measures the relationships between existing objects and figures, retaining them in a network of invisible threads, extracting the landscape as evidence of an architecture of pure relationships, with the intention of grasping a new geometric and sensory dimension. Simple design actions: redefine entrances and relationship with water, take care of and enhance existing trees, which interact with people's movements and resting moments, make space for multiple functions, redesign night lighting. The proposed interventions respond to the need to define a new public area that is expressed in the aesthetic quality of the "dry garden". Made with alternating bands of broken stone, in shades of grey, white and beige, it matches the stone surfaces of Villa Contarini. The containment of the garden, in parallel bands, is arranged by tubular steel elements, obtained from the reuse of the existing public lighting poles. The volume of vegetable soil obtained from the excavation operations was reused to carry out the reshaping of the lawn areas in correspondence with the paths and the circular sector of the green exedra.
