Isola pedonale del Pigneto, Roma
The Pigneto neighborhood, with its vibrant and multicultural soul, has always been a reference point on the map of Roman life. In the heart of this bustling neighborhood, the pedestrian area has undergone significant redevelopment aimed at improving the usability of spaces, livability, and aesthetics of the place.
The conducted environmental study has allowed for careful planning of the layout of parking and green areas, taking into account the needs of the local community and the users who frequent the area. Particular attention has been dedicated to verifying the methods and times of space usage in order to reorganize the areas and flows in a more rational and functional manner.
One of the main innovations introduced was the organic division of spaces through the use of different pavements, which give character and identity to the different zones of the pedestrian area. Additionally, play and relaxation islands have been inserted, highlighted by ground drawings made on the specially treated Materia slab, designed to create a welcoming and lively environment for all visitors.
The redevelopment also included the restoration of lighting and the addition of new furnishings, making the pedestrian area not only more functional but also more pleasant to live in and frequent. These improvements have contributed to solving problems related to confusion during market hours, enhancing the overall experience of users and residents of the neighborhood.
The pedestrian area in the heart of Pigneto is a place that tells different stories depending on the time of day. Every morning, it hosts a lively market of fresh fruits and vegetables, while at night it transforms into one of the trendiest meeting points of Roman nightlife.
