OLTRE IL MURO Growth, development and value of the former Paolo Pini Psychiatric Hospital [by Francesco Covelli, Elisabetta Martelli, July 2014]
Set within the former Paolo Pini Psychiatric Hospital in Milan, the project focuses on the shared ground that connects the many activities now inhabiting the site. Conceived as a collective and open park, this common space becomes the key element through which social, cultural, and spatial relationships are strengthened. The proposal works to dissolve physical and symbolic boundaries, weaving new connections between the interior of the complex and the surrounding city, and redefining the site as an active, inclusive landscape for the wider community.
