A NEW ROOFED ACCESS FOR THE TURIN UNDERGROUND
The design solution consists in the positioning of a series of metal arches along the perimeter of the entrance of the underground. These arches form a cover- type cap which elegantly rests on the ground, with wide openings embroidered on its sides. The strength of the design is in its lightness, the relationship between the urban space and the covered space is never forced. Metal rods help to offset the weights in the horizontal and vertical arcs, blocking their relative movement and enriching the graphic value of the structure.
