Suburban Metamorphosis

Suburban Metamorphosis

Bachelor's degree project

“Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism

The title "Suburban metamorphosis" came from the idea of regenerating the center of Cornetu village. Starting with the General Urbanistic Plan(G.U.P.), I proposed an alternative meant to redistribute the tranzitory trafic. Having this proposed the village wouldn't continue to be in a state of defragmentation due to the national road, road that broke the whole village into two separate entities. Another identified problem is the lack parks or squares, activities, and places to spend free time, and as a reactant, the proposal was : 1.to create mixed areas (education, sports, comerce, individual housing) and 2. a strong axis which conected the center of the village with the lake shore which is envisioned as a tourism and leisure area. Futhermore the reconfiguration of the main road of the county meant tranforming the a 4 lane road into a 2 way one, so that the public space would be much more spacious and would have alignment vegetation and quality public spaces. Continuing with the Zonal Urbanistic Plan i proposed in the center of the commune which is the one with the highest density due to the collective housing building, comunity kindergartens, nursery, and a school. Second of all, about all the people living in the village have a low income so the proposal of comunitary gardens was the best way to encourage the comunitary spirit and the gentrification proces. The center of the village would have all the educational facilities so that the entire population would have acces to education. The main idea was to develop a pilot project regarding the problems of the metropolitan area of the capital through ideas of revitalization, regeneration, and reorganzation of the village centers
