About Competition
Recent demographic studies show that Lugano is experiencing a depopulation of the central areas. Let’s focus on the near future and imagine Lugano as a lively and attractive city for young people, families and innovative companies. With the Play the Future Project, BeSpace is looking for design solutions that take advantage not only of the city itself but also of the lake, imagining it as an extension of the city center, an outdoor space to be experienced in order to repopulate the city.
This is how was born the idea of designing a Floating Park, which will have to be WOW:
- Wonderful: a marvel to look at and experience;
- Original: with unique lines, bizarre style and innovative concept;
- Waving: undulating, elegant, sinuous.
The design site is Lake Lugano, precisely the area in front of Piazza Bernardino Luini, in Lugano. The project will have to comply with 4 of the 17 Global Goals that the UN has set for the planet in Agenda 2030 and which the city of Lugano itself has taken to heart by promoting the Lugano sustainable project.
Objectives for the design project as per UN are
- Objective no. 3: Health and well-being;
- Objective no. 11:Sustainable cities and communities;
- Objective no. 13:Fight against climate change;
- Objective no. 15:Life on Earth.
The history of architecture has always been characterized by the experimentation of innovative housing solutions, in search of new ways of inhabiting and experiencing the nature that surrounds us, adapting both to the needs of society and to changes in the environmental context.
Floating architecture responds to the problem of climate change, and the environmental impact of urbanization, but also to new social needs.
