The recovery of the pier S. Cataldo like waterfront, sets the objective to reintegrate the city of Taranto with the port. The multipurpose Service Center is a building that fits perfectly into the context of the pier, placing itself as a new “city gate” on the sea.
The concept of the building is based on the idea of an architecture that comes from the ground and conforms as a path building that allows the articulation in various buildings. They are two and are designed to create a new “landscape”, dynamic and passable; slip and develop with a sinuous and organic, articulated around open spaces equipped, a Mediterranean garden and a hortus conclusus.
The new
‘’Gateway to the City‘’
by the sea.
The whole takes on a fluid shape, a volume-path that reaching out to the sea involves the terminal part of the pier with the statue of S. Cataldo, emerging element, incorporating it in a new stepped base. The integration between the Pier and the building becomes concrete with an architecture full of belvedere walks, paths at high altitude and volumes that, like telescopes, frame the surrounding landscape, making the new Multipurpose Service Center become a new attraction not only for the city of Taranto but for the entire Gulf.
The aim of the project is to promote new meeting spaces and new centralities and opportunities for redevelopment and enhancement of the city.
