A PROPOSAL FOR THE NEW SCIENCE CENTRE IN NAPLES: A “GREENHOUSE” IN THE LANDSCAPE

Abstract

The posi=on held about the reconstruc=on of the New Science Centre for CiJà della Scienza in Naples, Italy, which has been the object of an interna=onal compe==on between 2014 and 2015, is strongly connected to the concept of iden=ty of the urban context: it is about a reconstruc=on ac=on, determined by the tragic event of the big Şre, which opens to a very complex reasoning. To completely face this subject, the project has been developed in rela=on with authen=city and reproduc=on concepts of the original building’s elements, keeping the structural and composi=on iden=ty as well as the trace of exis=ng rela=ons, in order to imagine a new architecture, open to the landscape
