GORIZIA - URBANITY OF THE NATURE

MOBA STUDIO WINNING 3RD PRIZE FOR THE COMPETITION "YOUTH AREA AT THE BORDER" IN GORIZIA (SLOVENIA / ITALY).

The project Urbanity of the Nature goes beyond architectural and social issues and focuses on the prominent feature of the border which is to divide.

Reading the original plan of Edvard Ravnikar for Nova Gorica as the ideal interpretation of the Gorizia fabric we propose to create unification of the two by adding a Completive element to the City. Ravnikar passed the border by creating diagonal axis towards the historical center and so he established a mental orientation of Nova Gorica.

Urbanity of the Nature is a specific form of collectiveness where the interest of the individual is in harmony with the wishes of the group, where space is organized in a grid of 8 m by 8 m, created by trees to offer a new form of public life.

Spaces in the grid will neither be open nor closed, instead they will offer the opportunity for individual use like sitting reading a book, or space for people to play sport like ping pong. But they will also offer gathering spaces for smaller groups to enjoy barbeques or birthday parties, or larger groups to enjoy events like concerts, theatre performances, weddings and other ceremonies.
