Urban Studio!!

CULTURAL + SOCIAL + COMMERCIAL + EDUCATIONAL + SUSTAINABLE


Chisinau is the capital of Moldova with a population of 665.000. The aim of our work consists on create a new civic center, because they do not have a real place to meet each other and be able to enjoy their time. When we visited the city and we participated in a workshop there i could understand Chisinau has so much potential but the most of the city is still undeveloped. In my tours along Chisinau i noticed there were so many buildings unfinished or abandoned, so it does not need more new buildings but it would be great to recover these existing buildings with new uses.


My project tries to connect the most important points of activity in Chisinau along the main axe, which also joining green areas. But the study of all this axe shows discontinuities in the last part. So my project is focused in the development of these three points to create the continuity which is lacking now. To improve this continuity is also necessary a good network of public tranportation, which is already running along all this axe but i goona create also a bike lane to enhance the use of bikes. It also will reduce the use of the private cars because it is a problem in Chisinau nowadays. 


I did a research about what kind of activities are missing there, i discovered so many interesting things about what this city needs, like places to take care old people, student accomodations, libraries, exhibition spaces, skate parks, concert halls.... My project is about all city but i had to focus just in one point. I chose the middle one, the merged bridge for pedestrian and bicycles. The aim is not just join green areas, but also produce different kinds of activity in the same place, like a civic center should be.
