THE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PROCEDURE
Arch. Emilia Fino
description of the area
The “area di risulta” of the station is a recovered urban low space following the reorganization of the
railway of Pescara system.
The area is to the moment turned to park, in part controled by regulation and guarded.
The access to the area whether possible is from the square of the old station, then from Vittorio
Emanuele course, or from Gasperi street.
The double accession-exit makes it the ideal destination for anyone wants park coming from southwest
without cross the traffic of the center.
Actual use of the ground understands:
 service area to the mobility( square turned to bus services and layouts terminal of inside mobility to
the area);
 commerce(itinerant and occasional commerce);
 park for about 1500 car places;
 urban equipments( ex railway station, actually center of the observatory of astrophysics and ex
reservoir of the water);
 railway areas( railway station hall; Ferrhotel);
 submerged areas by the in relief railway ( embankments that support the railway plank ).
The “area di risulta” of the station is a central strategic area that represents an only occasion for the
urban and environmental retraining of the city of Pescara.
The assumed decisions progressively from different town councils, till the actual, on the possible
destinations of the area derives above all from the strong request for the citizens to retrain the centre of
town and they impose to foresee in the planning big spaces dedicated to the equiped green area.
Such objective is set to base of the project choices.
2. FINALITY OF THE WORKS/ OBJECTIVES TO REACH
The “area di risulta” has remarkable potentiality of transformation and it is easily attainable by all the
points of the city, being in barycentric position in comparison with the urban perimeter and edged by
some of the guiding principals of urban traffic. Moreover it is to the contact with the principal commercial
natural area of the city, at the same time connected to costs and with a lot of public serviceses and
destitute of interest.
The proposal of retraining of the “area di risulta” is born from the evident necessity to recover and return
to the city a space in which have been disused for a long time its original works with a coherent
destination and characterization of the places.
The objective is that to plan and realize a new representative place of the city, a characterized place
from a wide urban park, from a cultural polyvalent building and from a public parking lot connected to the
terminal of the extra – urban bus.
The area of intervention is delimited to northeast from Vittorio Emanuele course, to northwest from
Michelangelo street, to southwest from the central station and to east from a diagona curtain built l in
comparison with the road network.
The surface of the area, object of planning has an extension of about 23 ha ( of which are of Municipality
about 11 ha so called “area di risulta” and about 4 ha are destined to roads and square; 2 ha belong to
the FS and there are dealt railway station, about 3 are covered by the in relief railway embankment and
about 3 are destined to roads and parking lots of pertinence ).
The area, primarily disused, is constituted by not built lot, exception for:
- the central building of the ex railway station, it is destined to center of the observatory of
astrophysics;
- the ex water reservoir;
- the ex dormitory and a ruin that now is as refuge for a steam locomotive.
The presence of the railway station and of the bus terminal adds centrality to the area, doing from it for
anyone travels by public transport the first contact point with the city.
It is an area substantially level, of remarkable dimensions and of rectangular form, for which doesn't
exist particular restrictions. The area has besides the characteristic main point to be nearly entirely free.
In the following years to the casting off new works are not been carried out, but they bring to further
conclusion demolitions.
The area is important knot of mobility, not only for that deprived in urban circle, but even in relationship
to the public vector in regional circle, for the presence of the railroad and of the terminal of the public
urban bus services, suburban, interurban| and interregional.
Finally the onerous transfer of the area on behalf of the FS to the Municipality attributes a further
potentiality to this area, making more immediate the procedural passages it reuse, in coherence with the
indications whwtehr of the town plan, or of the program of government ( C.C. deliberation n.439
del3.07.2003 ) that destine the area to activity of public interest.
More in detail the objectives of the transformation are:
- the location in the area of urban qualifying functions( cultural);
- the configuration of public spaces and “green of quality”;
- the expansion of the services to the city across the realization of car-park and terminal bus;
The question of transformation of the area is able be so brought back to the following themes:
1 urban quality and public park – the first and more diffused question is that of qualification
and physicist and environmental across recover areas of equiped public green;
2 cultural structures– there is the necessity to realize a polyvalent structure of elevated
architectural quality capable of organize and attract cultural and relational activity of big
social value in degree to revitalize the whole urban area of reference;
3 parking lots– the area is at the moment a necessary point of public parking lot for the
pedestrian access to the central areas and at the station;
4 mobility– there is a shared interest in the rationalize the value of knot of the mobility of the
area ( railroad, bus services, taxi,private vehicles.);
The set of proposed functions for the area of the central station has different nucleuses of project:
2.1.
the park;
2.2.
the cultural polyvalent structures ( library metropolitan);
2.3.
the parking lots;
2.4.
the bus terminal and the knot of the mobility;
2.1. the park
The objective is that of the environmental retraining and landscape painting of the area.
The public park has to occupy an elevated surface ( minimum 80 % ) and cover with a green big cloack
part of the area. The park has to represent an occasion to live in the open air any activities tied up to the
free time and to the cultural activities of the city, even if for example thanks to the offer of shows in the
open air during the day and the evening ( the park as great social fact ). Inside this park buildings are
able be present, realized with light technology ( typical of the mobile architectures ) and destined to
entertain activity of recreational type. The park will have to be shaped as place of the point of view of the
urban landscape and of the existing architectures and of project, integrating, in an unitary image, the
different urban elements that converge in the area.
2.2.
the cultural polyvalent structure
The principal function of anticipated excellence is identifiable in a cultural polyvalent structure.
A function of great relief and breathe for the city and of meaningful new building out of earth will be
constituted by a cultural structure of elevated architectural quality like catalyst of cultural and
relational activity in degree to revitalize the whole urban area of reference. Such structure is the
metropolitan, the library , that ti is not only a place of the reading but as center of cultural and social
interrelation defined by big spaces for a vast range of cultural and recreational activity that allows
the fruition even in the evening. A structure with polyfunctional characteristics of interport of the
culture (library, internet, place for events, little auditorium|, bars)
2.3. the parking lots
One or more filled park, in degree to entertain from about 2.000 to 3.000 cars, to more level and in part
out, it must be studied with the due attention in its impact on the enviroment, considering the
superficiality of the aquiferous stratums that are found to relatively low quotas (about mt. 2.50/3.00).
The work is destined in replace the existing parking, revaluing the dimensional, project and managerial
characteristics.
A partof parking lots of interchange for the railway station, may drawn in the spaces already existing in
the in relief railway thing.
2.4. the bus terminal and the knot of the mobility
The knot of the central station is understood as a hinge point of a more ample strategy of rationalization
and expansion of the public transport, in a metropolitan and regional optics.
The general aimto reach is the exploitation of the innovative system of transport like a system of the
Pescara mobility, across the better insertion of the traced in the circle of the intervention.
The possible presence of the system of rapid transport in “area di risulta”, moreover, it would make
easily accesible to the citizens the services in the operation of urban retraining.
The bus station (bus terminal) must be functional and reported to the park and to the system of parking
lots.
For a better management of the deriving traffic from north and a lightening of the flows in “area di risulta”,
must be examined even the hypothesis of partial decentralization of the urban bus services with a
smaller structure, set to south in the neighbourhoods of the university-judicial knot. This solution will be
able allow a lightening of the function of terminal in “area di risulta”, and the allocation of some terminal
with development areas destined to cover a function for the urban mobility, in a future.
3. URBANISTIC CONFORMITY AND TECHNICAL RULES TO RESPECT.
The preliminary project, to develop in according to the indications of the present document across the
contest of architecture, has to hold in account of the indications scheduled for the area from the P.R.G.
current and of the indications contained in the government program with of a deliberation council of the
3.07.2003 n.439:
P.R.G.
Detailed plan of public initiative– B7 sottozona( |art|. 37 of the N.T.A.):
P.P.1 ( area di risulta ):
·1 Min. 80 % pubblic park/terminal bus/parking lots ( even filled in )
·2 Max.10 % places and equipments for cultural activities and free time
Practicability and squares
P.P.1 b circle |sub| (submerged in relief railway areas):recovered spaces hidden shares
of the embankment and maintenance of the places to use railway
·1 Max.50 % places for cultural and expository activities
Government Program
the “area di risula” of the railroad, acquired after long years and still destitute of a general,
realizable for functional lotts, but with a rigorous general plant, drawn up following an
exam international procedure, capable of resolve the problems of architectural and
cultural characterization of the central area of the city, of organic connection of the
diverged the opportunity to the transport of passengers; of full exploitation of the greatest
environmental resource of which the city disposes in its central zone. For us such areas
have to be destined in equiped parks ( that is favored with structures for the enjoyment of
the park and the socialization ) for the maxim possible quota, not less than 80% of the
total surface, reserving to cultural structures, to the filled in parking lots and to possible
functions of service the remainder."
Finally, in the enclosed card , there are all essential informations and the data of the existing |surface
and of project.
4. PRESENCE OF TIES
The central body of the traveller built of the ex central station, and the ex water - reservoir, today
memory of the disused railway activity, and finally the areas on which revert the aforesaid manufactured
(about for 13.000 mq) are a tie object and prescription for the Cultural and Environmental Office ( DM
17/11/90 and DM 18/02/91, emanated to the senses of the 1089/39, today d L.vo 490/99 ).
In particular the decree foresees, for the inclusive buildings in the tie, the destination of using of public
social and cultural character.
5. TECHNICAL REQUISITES RESPECTING
Respecting the technical provisions and that administrative for the realization of the public works or of
public interest, considering of the complexity of the work and of the reflex of it on the life quality of the
citizens, in relationship to the entity and quality of the disbused services in phase of exercise and of the
modality that involve public resources and organizations and/or deprive ( finance project, STU ), and
then the necessity to conjugate culture and satisfaction of public interests, in the following phase of
examination of the project proposals will need introduce:
- suitable methods of analysis and of selection of them:
- criterions of validation of the projects, in accordance with concepts of quality and of level perception
of the service of the citizen.
6. IMPACT OF THE WORKS ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS
The complex of the forecast works in “area di risulta” for their ampleness and centrality respect the
inhabited area of Pescara needs, in the following phases of planning, of an accurate evaluation of the
possible impacts concern whether the phase of construction or that of management .
They will have to be appraised, preventively, the possible influences of the work on the ground, in
consideration even of the degree of seismicity of Pescara, on the surface water and of stratum, let alone
on the atmosphere, with regard to the acoustic immissions and to the pollutions.
In particular for the realization phase
- kept account of the centrality of the work, will need verify the effects of the transport of the materials
to digest and of that from construction to deliver, to the end to minimize the effects across the
optimization of the crossed by employ. For the digested grounds of excavation need study carefully
the characterization of the same, to the end to determine the possible reuse, or the disposal. In this
case it is important to study the crossed toward the environmental individual detractors and the
possible alternative solutionses of transport to the all– rubber;
- It is important to foresee provisional works in degree to limit the issues in atmosphere whether of
acoustic type ( panels ) or chemical– physicist, let alone to contain the vibrations on the ground
avoiding so possible damages to the neighbouring inhabited area;
- Moreover it is important to , foresees an accurate hydraulic study to the end of threshold the possible
changes generate from the works in construction on the outflow in stratum, in particular these in
degree to influence negatively the foundations of the near buildings.
The phase of management ( in exercise ) will be preventively appraise and improve already from the
project phase:
- the hidraulic regimes (definitive) in stratum, to the end to guarantee the more possible the adherence
to the situation. The levels and the quality of the waters of stratum will be control in the time
foreseeing periodic analysis to make to cadence and in occasion of traumatic events;
- the disposal of the surface water, that kept account of the substantial waterproofed surface by the
realization, has to foresee tubs rain, the and water – pipe;
-8 the issue in atmosphere of pollutions creditable to the induced traffic from the parking lots, let alone
that acousticses, being able foresee for this the latests a reduction respects the actual situation,
even in relationship to the anticipated coverage of the areas of parking lot and of the practicability of
access.
7. LEVELS OF PLANNING AND ELABORATE GRAPHIC BY COMPILE
the levels of planning that have to be developed are that foreseed by the |art|. 18, paragraph 1, of the
D.P.R. 21 December 1999, n. 554.
8.
METHODOLOGY OF TRUST OF THE PLANNING SERVICES
The contest, to the senses of the art.59 of the D.P.R. 554/1999, in only degree with indication of the
technical-economic feasibility, appear the system more functional to the demands of the administration
and leaves ample borders to use procedures of realization of the alternative work and/or innovative.
To the competitors will be in demand a level of technical equal deepening to that of a preliminary project
with economic financial study for its construction and management. To the winner she/he/it/you is
returned a prize ( the administration acquires the ownership of the project ) and, if in possession of the
requisitioned applied for the proclamation, it will be entrusted to private negotiation the following levels
of planning.
9. COSTS
to the actual state of the planning it is possible to underline the following forecasts of expense in millions
of €:
Parking lots( 2.000 places, as from level triennial ) 25.0
Bus terminal 4 , 0
Cultural spaces 20 , 0
Parks and street furniture 3.0
Total cost of the works € 52.0
10. CONCLUSIONS
The project has to define an architectural well-grounded idea on the centrality of the area, on its
representative and evocative ability and on the prevalence of the void on the "height" in order to
maintaining the contemporary character of the area.
The area remains a free space, to cross to reach the railway station or the bus station, the services,
when to stop and to enjoie the free time.
A not secondary objective is in the ability of the vegetation to demolish the dusts, to produce oxygen and
environmental comfort.
These are the principal requisites that the project has to respect:
-1 architectural impact of the interventions: positive relationship among the new urban image, the
profile of the physical produced transformations and the context to different inside point of view and
they express to the area;
-2 promotion of an urban sustainable model: satisfaction and promotion of the social characters,
economic and of use of the space ( parks);
-3 qualitative adequacy of the spaces for anticipated work: fitness of the formal characteristics of
spaces in the answer to the necessities of the functions that you are installed;
-4 dimensional adequacy of the spaces for anticipated work: fitness of the dimensions attributes to
every space for each anticipated function;
-5 flexibility of the spaces of project in comparison with future transformations: correspondence and
ability of adaptation and transformation of the inside spaces and they express to future changes of
use.
