  N >

Yesterday it was the great day of the exam, and this is our project.
It's a thermal complex in Milan, though to be a new attractive pole for the Porta Nuova area, dealing with the ancient Navigli System actually covered by the steets (but until 1930 completely opened).
We did well, in the end, after a long work together.

Special Thanks, as usual, to my friends and mates in this work:
Maria Cristina Diano
Silvia Giabbanelli
Sara Rizzetti

NYC High Line

I promised and now.. here we are, guys!

This is maybe the most interesting project I've seen in NYC, and even if it's not that new, I present it to youfrom a turistic point of view, but with the eye of the architect. Then, since I'm also fond of photography, I've tried to take the best pictures I could, to share with you something not boring.
Ok ok a lot of words...now the stuff:
  [click, click, click here!]

Just keep in mind, even if you are not interested in this kind of things (I mean: architectures, landscape design, bla bla bla...) that NYC is not only Hot Dogs and Shopping...

Enjoy!
