Beyond the Port City. The Condition of Portuality and the Threshold Concept
No full textPortuality is a concept that has long been rooted in several urban centers. It denotes a territorial quality specific to those cities and developed through strong relationships with their own port. Beyond the Port City recognizes portuality as a specific condition and suggests that the city-port threshold could emerge as one major symbolic field of exploration. This unique threshold materializes along the margin between the two authorities, namely in that space where the city and the port are side by side. It is marked by an administrative boundary that becomes an accumulator of transit: a fragmented space where the juxtapositions take sufficient shape to acquire a dimension and to be recognizable.
This book updates the old city-port dichotomy and outlines a new vision in which the port city is a forma urbis affected by the speed of changing processes and influenced by the factors that are embodied in its territorial palimpsest
Paesaggi Logistici e Infrastrutture Portuali di Confine. La nascita della Città del Cluster
No full textNeither only city nor only port, the port city is the result of a relationship in which global characters have over time combined with local factors generating a unique organism. During the twentieth century, the city-port bond has been altered making it controversial to de ne its nature and direct its development. In contemporary ports, one of the most interesting phenomena is the port clusterization process that unite several ports into a single entity called cluster whose formation brings to the front themes such as logistics and virtual trade mechanisms. The clusterization process gives rise to a new and polycentric conurbation recognizable as the City of the Cluster: composed of multiple ports and cities, it highlights a latent potential that orients the transformation project. In this eld, it is the heritage of disused architectures of the city- port border that acquires importance as a strategic system in which the city, extended along the coast and inland, becomes landscape

Landscapes of the Cluster. A Spatial Approach to Ports
No full textAs ports expand to meet global demands for sustainability and energy transition, European states are reshaping their maritime landscapes through port clusters—new organizational structures that transform both administration and governance. This book critically examines how port clusterization is redefining the relationship between cities and their ports, challenging conventional urban and architectural research on port-city conditions. It explores the spatial impacts and physical footprints of this transformation into landscapes of the cluster and introduces design tools to help port city institutions navigate pressing challenges. From coastal land consumption to sustainable infrastructures and the shifting perception of ports within cities, Landscapes of the Cluster provides fresh insights into the future of port-city dynamics
Parcheggio per biciclette e nuova sistemazione della stazione centrale di Amsterdam. UN NODO URBANO STRATEGICO TRA TERRA E ACQUA Bicycle Parking and Redesign of Amsterdam Central Station. A STRATEGIC URBAN NODE BETWEEN LAND AND WATER
No full textInaugurato nel febbraio 2023, IJboulevard è il nuovo parcheggio subacqueo per biciclette nel centro di Amsterdam. L’infrastruttura si colloca in posizione adiacente, sul lato nord, alla stazione ferroviaria centrale di Amsterdam dove convergono i flussi dei treni, della metropolitana, degli autobus urbani e regionali, dei taxi e le linee dei waterbus che attraversano il fiume IJ, permettendo la connessione con i quartieri settentrionali della città.
Ideato su progetto del team VenhoevenCS architecture+urbanism, con Van Hattum en Blankevoort e DS Landscape architects, IJboulevard si propone di risolvere molteplici criticità legate specialmente alla circolazione locale e al parcheggio delle biciclette realizzando un nuovo spazio pubblico, un viale pedonale panoramico e continuo sul fiume IJ ottenuto liberando lo spazio a livello stradale e spostando il ricovero di oltre 4000 biciclette a livello ipogeo
Il Progetto del Confine tra Città e Porto
No full textPer un lunghissimo periodo, durato all’incirca quattordici secoli, città e porto hanno vissuto in una simbiotica integrazione spaziale e coesione funzionale producendo benefici e reciproci risultati. A quel tempo, la forma e l’identità delle città comprendevano il porto che era progettato all’interno del tessuto cittadino come un’architettura pubblica. Dal Novecento e nel giro di pochi decenni, il commercio containerizzato invade gli scali di tutto il mondo plasmando l’architettura e l’apparato tecnologico del porto in funzione delle nuove logiche commerciali: il container rende obsolete le strutture operative originarie poiché i prodotti viaggiano veloci verso destinazioni distanti dal porto e non necessitano più di manufatti a bordo banchina per essere trattati. Il fulcro portuale storico è quindi gradualmente dismesso, portando alla definitiva separazione di porto e città. In questa fase cominciano a idearsi e diffondersi progetti di riconversione delle are del cosiddetto waterfront. A Genova - dove dal 1903 città e porto sono divise da un confine funzionale e istituzionale e governate da enti pubblici differenti - il progetto del confine tra città e porto è un tema controverso ma ricco di potenzialità strategiche. Si tratta di uno spazio della sovrapposizione (fisica, di interessi e di competenze) che acquista un ruolo chiave nel sistema di relazione tra i due paesaggi, rivelandosi luogo privilegiato per una possibile connessura tra porto e città. Uno spazio di scontro e connessione in cui la linea del confine demaniale acquisisce spessore e consistenza fino a diventare una soglia, ossia un paesaggio relazionale di potenziale progetto e rappresentazione della condizione urbano-portuale odierna
Aeroporto internazionale di Pechino-Daxing
No full textInaugurated in September 2019, Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA) is currently the largest air terminal in the world with its 47 square kilometres. Situated in Daxing district in the southern periphery of the Chinese capital, in the midst of fields and food industries, it is the city’s second airport. The first terminal, Beijing Capital, reached full capacity in 2012. BDIA was constructed to relieve this pressure and transform the southern part of Beijing into a leading integrated international transport hub.
One of Zaha Hadid’s last projects prior to her death in 2016, the airport establishes a new standard for airline transport services and represents a catalyst for the economic development of Tianjin and Hebei province. Designed to handle approximately 45 million passengers per year, in reality the airport will witness the transit of 72 million passengers by 2025 with a further expansion to handle up to 100 million passengers and 4 million tonnes of goods per year.
The terminal is supported by an 80,000 sqm multimodal ground transport hub providing direct connections to the centre of Beijing via local and national rail lines, including high speed rail.
The architecture of BDIA is based on a radial structure, articulated in 6 wings, or piers, extending out from a central multi-level nucleus that intuitively guides passengers toward departure, arrival or transfer areas.
This concept makes circulation an ordering element of architecture that transforms the logistic spaces of the airport into an urban organism in which the city, or better
yet, the movement of passengers and goods, flow inward, while the project flows outward to expose latent itineraries in the surrounding context.
The composition of BDIA employs a radical concept that organises spaces based on opposing principles: solid/void, heavy/light, opaque/transparent, open/closed, etc.
The layout of the airport generates a sequence of dynamic and non-Euclidian geometries whose lines become concrete experiences independently from the physical nature of materials.
As in other works by Zaha Hadid, a particular aspect is represented by the passage from digital and parametric design to techniques of construction and the organisation of the building site. In this sense, the collaboration between engineering and architecture made possible to adopt a highly integrated approach.
More than defining an artificial landscape, this project by ZHA affirms the primacy of mobility; it represents a device of movement that manipulates spatial hierarchies and captures fields of forces to translate them into landscapes with a stratified topography
Governance Patterns on the Urban-Port Threshold. The Emergence of the City of the Cluster
No full textPorts are sophisticated infrastructures that have contributed to disrupting the original state of places according to a mechanism that leads from alterations to project.
Port cities generate in their environments a liminal condition which usually characterizes the urban-port area that, located along and across the common administrative border, can be recognized as an urban-port threshold. This threshold generates a liminal space which is configured as a third state with respect to the city or the port properly understood. It is a system of linear convergence/divergence that marks the beginning and the end of the capabilities of the Port Authority. This threshold does not have a standard configuration but is shaped into different geometries and constituted by a constellation of artefacts and architectures belonging to both sides and in different state of abandonment/disposal/disuse.
The geometries of the urban-port thresholds generate different governance patterns which, in the current framework, are particularly influenced by evolving global phenomena. Among these, the port clustering (effective in many Europeans cases but introduced in Italy only in 2016) produces a complex polycentric conurbation, a City of the Cluster. Composed by several ports and cities, this new urban-port reality emerges to be responsible for new relational opportunities in the decades to come
