Paolo Colombo was born in Milan on May 21st 1970 and graduated from the Polytechnic of Milan in July 1998. Founder and creative mind behind A++, he has built its international reputation by designing and building architecture spanning from hotels to restaurants, residences to commercial spaces, inspired and heavily rooted on the broadest vision of sustainability which becomes the center and reference in the development of his design; with an architecture inspired and strongly centered on the concept of well-being, an emotional stage mediated between art and function, with attention to detail and functionality. In each realization it is expressed the need for a profound and ongoing dialogue with what exists in its surroundings and its interior, developing a new concept of environment, design and space combined with the material research aimed at finding an “active” sustainability where every element has its function and where space serves as a stage to showcase the combination of elements unexpected presences, to develop new sensory emotions in search the ultimate target of true sustainability: the wellbeing of the inhabitant. As creative director, he coordinates professionalism catalyzing various experiences and different cultures. Among the many national and international projects in the past , the Falcon Island, a residential complex of 150 highly innovative and sustainable villas in the UAE, the master plan of a new urban settlement in an area of 7.5 million square meters in Albania, and many other development currently under construction in the world.
Carlo Colombo is considered one of the most important international Architect and designer. He started his career right away with designing for top level brands. From this moment he collects hundreds of collaborations with the most important brands of design made in Italy like Antonio Lupi , Artemide, Bentley Home, Bugatti Home, Cappellini , Flou, Flexform, Franke, Giorgetti , iGuzzini , Penta, Poliform, Trussardi Casa, just to mention some. Beyond the design of products and furniture, Colombo also takes care of strategy and marketing for companies, develops graphic projects and curates exhibitions, works as a consultant and Art Director. The work that initially was concentrated on design and interior, extends progressively also in the field of constructions in Italy and abroad. In 2004 the architect is awarded as designer of the year; in 2009 wins an international competition for the design of the two multifunctional towers in Abu Dhabi and from 2011 teaches design at theDe Tao Masters Academy of Beijing in China. He receives a lot more awards all over the world, amongst them the Elle Decor International Design Award in 2005, 2008, 2010, 2011 , the Good Design Award of the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and the Chicago Athenaeumin in 2009, in 2012, 2014 and 2016 he wins the Red Dot Design Award, the Interior Innovation Award e and the iF design award. In 2017 in Switzerland he was awarded by the Italian Console with title of Knight of Order of Merit for Labour. Also in 2017, he wins the International Design Award in Los Angeles with the sculpture armchair “784” , and he is also included in the volume “100 Italian excellences”. In 2018 he receives the APDC*IDA Excellence Design Awards and in 2019 he receives the Wallpaper* Design Award with ‘Albume’ coloured sinks for Antoniolupi.

Giuseppe Marinoni (Milan 1961) , is an architect
with a PhD in Urban Projects and Policies. He
carries out activities of planning and design
and research into themes related to the
transformation of the contemporary city. As
an architect in his own right and as managing
director of StudioMarinoni Srl , Giuseppe
Marinoni carries out projects of urban planning
and design and architectural and landscape
design in Italy and abroad. Among other awards
and marks of recognition, in 2006 he won the
international competition for the Centro Studi
FLA, as well as the one for the Urban Project
of the Portasud Intermodal Centre in Bergamo.
In 2007 he won the national competition for the
Feasibility Study of the MoviCentro in Novara, in
2009 he won the tender for the PGT (Territorial
Administration Plan) of Abbiategrasso, while in
2010 he won the ‘Gateway to Milan’ international
competition for Malpensa Airport with the
‘Magic Threshold’ project.
He has been called on as an expert to organise
international competitions. He teaches
architectural design and urban planning at the
Faculty of Architecture of Milan Polytechnic.
In 2011 he founded the publishing house
SMOwnPublishing, with the aim of bringing
out books of architecture, photography and
landscape. His writings and projects have
appeared in the principal magazines of
architecture in Italy and abroad.
He has published the books Metamorfosi del
Progetto Urbano (2005) , Infrastrutture nel
Progetto urbano (2006) , I l Social Housing (2009)
and Centro studi FLA Learning Centre (2012) .
The books Evolving European City and Recycling
Landscape are in course of publication.
The projects i l lustrated here exemplify the
way contemporary urban planning is moving in
practice, and how it is precisely in the effective
transformation of cities and landscapes that it
is finding the theoretical and practical forms
of its action. An urban planning that , as has
recently been pointed out , having emancipated
itself from the typo-morphological tradition
focused on the built , is now coming to embrace
the open spaces of the city within the horizon
of the landscape, allowing it to incorporate
infrastructures and other complex systems
once considered incompatible with the urban
character. From this is emerging a set of
attitudes and fragmentary reflections that in
a process of trial and error is defining lateral
approaches, routes that cut across the habits
of design and planning. A research that does
not set itself poetic and stylistic goals , but
manipulates building, landscape, geographical
and infrastructural materials as an inevitable
condition of operation.

U R B A N A N D L A N D S C A P E S T R A T E G Y
The urban and landscape strategy of
renewal of the centre of Seveso involves
disused industrial buildings and the fringes
of the railroad system in the heart of the
town. The Schwarzenbach and Allocchio
Bacchini areas and the land occupied by
the railway tracks of the Milan- Camnago-
Asso sections of the Ferrovie Nord, which
it is planned to transfer underground, will
be converted for collective urban use.
Seveso, unlike other towns in Brianza, has
succeeded in maintaining a significant
balance between buildings, open spaces
and parks. Its peculiar urban morphology
is the result of the stratification over time
of low-density fabrics of construction
interspersed with substantial areas that were
not built on, so as to configure, as a whole,
a sort of garden city. But these values are
accompanied by some highly problematic
elements: the existence of disused industrial
areas in the town centre, the presence of
the railway separating different urban
parts , the tendency of the town to develop
into a predominantly residential settlement
dependent, as far as jobs and services are
concerned, on neighbouring urban centres
that have experienced greater growth.
So the strategy of renewal proposes to
configure new landscaped centralities
synergic with the existing town, with the
dual objective of upgrading the morphology
and introducing attractive functions:
gardens, open spaces, workplaces, housing,
commercial and entertainment spaces and
car parks to serve the interchange with the
railway. The variety of urban spaces and
the mix of uses proposed are intended to
strengthen the “city effect” , with the aim of
raising the quality of urban life and helping to
invert the tendency to dispersion stil l under
way today in the Brianza region. The strategy
takes the form of an initial implementation
of the Planning Document of the Territorial
Administration Plan: an “overall vision” of
the town, which starting out from the need
to reorganise its urban form can in the
process support new plans and new policies.
Common principles of morphology and
landscape are identified to guide a process of
transformation to be governed over time with
the aim of generating urban qualities.

The project is a Masterplan in the town of
Vaughan, close to the city of Toronto. It ’s a beautiful
piece of land surrounded by a forest and the terrain
is characterized by hills. The aim is to avoid
destroying the actual landscape but integrate a
project that can be divided in 5 key points:
NATURE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NATURE AND
COMMUNITY One of the main project strategy is
the valorization of the area’s natural preexistences,
with the analysis of existing costraints and
ecological features. The aim is to maintain the
bush and the creek, and enhancing them instead
of destroying them. Nature becomes an integral
part of the project and the urban layout. We wish
to create green corridors aimed to become meeting
places, centers of attraction and generatoros of
various community events.

COMMUNITY CENTERS OF AGGREGATION TO
INCREASE THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY - The
integrated design for a more sustainable community
should envisage the possibility of easily establish
new social bonds among residents. This can be
done through the creation of an extensive network
of parks and pedestrian and cycle paths but
also thanks to the introduction of elements that
constitute the core of the urban sociability, such
as the square.

GREEN WAYS URBAN GREENWAY CROSSING THE
URBAN LAYOUT - The bush becomes a generating
element of urban green corridors able to become
aggregation points, with the aim of valorize
the green areas as collective spaces and urban
connection. The new urban green ways are a
fundamental element of project , oriented on
principal axes along the visual axis of greatest
scenic interest. In this way the neighborhoods
become spaces characterized by an own life with
different functions and activities.

ACTIVE MOBILITY PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE
MOBILITY - Good planning principles must ensure
that the communities provide the opportunities
for those who live and work there to change their
l ifestyle and make choices in order to contribute
to the sustainibility of the communities. This
could be done by providing alternative modes of
getting around through the creation of : compact
connection network, widespread network of
sidewalks, extended urban parks, cycle paths,
integrated public transport.

NATURAL PROSCENIUM PERCEIVE NATURE WITHIN
THE COMMUNITY - One of the aim of the project is
to let the urban tissue more pervious to the natural
environment so we transform the directories into
visual glipses that cross the entire project area.
Thanks to this strategy it will be possible to
perceive the natural environment even from the
inside of the community.

The design of this small island in RAK’s emirates
resumes the concept of a leaf , given its natural
conformation and resembles its shape. In the
center of the main artery where 7-storey buildings
are built on a plate formed by a blade of water
and beneath it there are parking lots , instead the
neighboring areas spread out the various types
of vil las that are arranged on everything. The
outskirts of the island, has views over the water
and the golf course that surrounds the island. It is
therefore a suggestive project for both those who
walk through the waterways of the plate and for
those who live in the Villas.

The reurbanization of the junction and
motorway stretch leading to Saint Petersburg
airport from the new city centre is the
main theme of this project for the new
financial district . One builds here not
only in proximity of the high accessibility
provided by the motorway system, but on the
motorway infrastructure itself . The project is
configured as an hybridization of the compact
city, echoing the structure of the blocks of
the historic city centre with the evocation
of the constructivist ‘ l inear city ’ , considered
here suitable to interact by fragments with
the motorway and its junctions.

The urban redevelopment project of the
Garibaldi Repubblica areas is divided into
three constituent elements: the urban
layouts, the central void, the urban fabric of
re-sewing. The layout is fixed by the layout of
the tracks, which reinterpreting the existing
city define the great central emptiness of the
park. The urban fabric , structured by blocks,
mediates the need to consolidate the parts of
outcropping cities with the desire to define
the edges of the new central space. This,
conceived as a ‘campus’ , with appropriate
orographic movements incorporates the
existing road and rail infrastructure system.
Since 2003 this morphological approach has
been developed by Hines Italia with Cesar
Pelli , KPK and Boeri Studio who have prepared
masterplans respectively for the parts near
the Garibaldi station, along Viale Liberazione,
towards the Isola district , involving Italian
architects and landscape architects.

Bicocca and Ansaldo have remained
separate despite the continual processes
of transformation to which they have
been subject for a long time. In the 1986
project by Gregotti Associati a structure
of order organised around the surrounding
road network and the scale of the disused
plant became the “central backbone” that
established hierarchies and reorganised
the internal relations. A one-kilometre-
long axis of symmetry strings together five
superblocks (Deutsche Bank, Siemens, the
university departments, the Le Torri complex
and the university) and determines the
arrangement of the building volumes. With
the urban landscape strategy employed in the
project for completion of the Grande Bicocca,
a new landscaped centre will instead join two
parts of the city, connecting the axes of the
former Ansaldo site and the large scale of
its factories with the ones that structure the
Bicocca. In the first place this new project
assigns fundamental value to open space
and no longer solely to the constructions,
introducing elements of continuity, but also
of strong discontinuity, into the existing
district .
The aim of this shift in emphasis is to
produce a relatively unitary layout , in use
and perception, of the open spaces conceived
with landscaping criteria. The parterres of
vegetation are linked together by footpaths
that continue the axes coming from Bicocca
and Ansaldo. The Diagonal connects up the
different routes and introduces a “transverse”
use of the new urban features: the garden
of the university, the central garden, the
garden of the shopping centre, the garden of
the residential block along Viale Sarca. This
configuration of open spaces incorporates
plazas, pavements and existing plantings
of trees and stretches as far as the Hangar
museum, which is made part of the new
structure. The new layouts also have the
power to position the constructions, as
well as giving structure to the gardens. The
block in the centre is a collage of high-rise
buildings intercepted by these layouts and
low buildings aligned with the street front:
this articulation permits a gradual passage
between the part of Bicocca predominantly
made up of independent blocks and the
new urban model that uses the buildings to
generate open spaces.

The Bellarmino area is located in one of the
most delicate parts under the landscape and
environmental aspects of the city of Milan.
That southern part of the city between
the urban fabrics along via Ripamonti and
Naviglio Pavese, overlooks the South Milan
Agricultural Park. Given the strong presence
of ‘city ’ and ‘countryside’ , urban planning can
only start from a vision of integrated urban,
infrastructural and landscape planning. The
new settlement will have to be configured
as a part of a city capable of defining and
completing the urban edges of a currently
fringed building and at the same time being
a landscape element of integration with
the neighboring park and the relationship
between the existing farmhouses.
This implementation plan must be configured
as a flexible tool over time, capable of fixing
the structuring elements of the settlement,
as open spaces and overall morphological
structure, to allow the start of a process
of construction of the different parts
with building projects, landscaping and
infrastructures of high quality planning and
construction.

A weave of layouts recalls the drawing of the
countryside and generates the arrangement
of new buildings (thematized retail park,
sports arena, sporting fields) . The built-up
respond to two different scales. The urban
scale, towards the city, with an ensemble of
buildings gathered together by arbours and
glass canopies; the landscaped one, towards
the agricultural fields, with an articulated
structure, characterized by sequences of
sloped and cultivated coverings that become
the new landscape landmark. The ensemble
is intended to start to the collective fruition
the agricultural park of Grumello with a
strong environmental value.
