Ma0 in Bari
The redevelopment and upgrading of
Piazza Risorgimento in Bari, in the hands
of Rome-based practice ma0/emmeazero
(Alberto Iacovoni, Ketty Di Tardo and Luca
La Torre), gets underway with a small and
clever invention.
It's a design for a new bench
(now produced by modo srl) that is fixed to
the ground at one end so that it can rotate
on itself. As a result, the public space is not
totally predefined and users have a certain
amount of autonomy in arranging it as they
wish: benches can be orientated for sitting
in the shade or in the sun, facing the exit of
the nearby school or looking on to the street,
under a streetlight or in the shadows. In
search of a good balance between new and
existing, work continues with paving in Trani
stone, “the same stone that gives beauty to
many of the spaces in the old city”, explain
the architects. In addition to this, a backdrop
of trees almost triples the 16 already present. E. S.
