DOWNTOWN ASTI. Designing innovative urban spaces_By Gruppo Costruttori Edili – Unione Industriale della Provincia di Asti
24/02/2025 - 07/06/2025
Background:
The contemporary urban landscape often sees once-vital areas falling into disuse, leaving a void in the city.
This is the case of the “Ex Ospedale” area in Asti. ANCE Asti aims to revive this forgotten area, giving it a new identity and enhancing it through the creation of a cultural hub able to communicate the economic and cultural excellences from the region.
Hence, the project involves the redevelopment of the lot, the renewal of the whole area and the design of a new building, which must fit into the existing fabric while respecting the identity and history of the surrounding area.
The case study will be addressed from both technical and cultural perspective.
Challenge:
The aim of the Challenge is to envision an innovative multifunctional building on the “Ex Ospedale” site in Asti.
These are the key points:
- The building must foster an urban regeneration process;
- Its shape must be iconic and recognizable, gathering local values and identity, with a maximum height of 70 meters;
- It must be flexible and adaptable to various uses (offices, conference areas, guestrooms, viewpoint etc.);
- Sustainablity must be explored in all sense (environmental, energy efficiency, maintenance, durability, flexibility);
- Business plan outlining all costs and value proposition, highlighting the advantages for the city.
