PORTA LEONE
Space for Nature in Amelia
Amelia, a city in Umbria, near the border to Lazio, has decided to invest in cultural projects to make life more enjoyable for its residents. The proposal of the new city square Porta Leone by AMAART is the latest example of creating a more lively public realm. 5000 sqm. of public space to create a gathering place for locals who can sense the nature of Amelia.
Nature
The design intent proposed and developed in the project is to create a community meeting place for the community by developing not only the connection of several parts of the area in question through the creation of the multi-level car park. The objective is also to integrate the existing city into the nature.
Focal Key Points
The urban square is developed around key focal points. First the central space and island consists of a system of aluminum and metal shades and a stone seat. Second key focal point is an natural observatory, Belvedere Naturale. Finally a third island with Belvedere Bench and dedicated to traveling events or shows.
Interactivity
The public space is designed as an interactive HUB, with night and day projections. Shows and activities of various kinds in order to allow the space to be not only dynamic but at the same time active. The urban square is conceived to promote the safety of the user and not to allow the isolation of the place.
