Ex-Caserme Square
Arezzo (Italy) 2002
International competition; 2nd prize;
Client: City of Arezzo
The area of the competition is a large abandoned military site within the historic center of the medieval city of Arezzo ( Tuscany). The program required the restoration of existing buildings and their re-use for educational and administrative purposes. Other existing structures will be removed and replaced by a 3000 sq. mt auditorium, a mixed use 8000 sq mt commercial and residential complex and a transit terminal. The new square is envisioned as a contemporary version of the 14th century Piazza Grande, the main square of the city.
