the discovery of a strategic masterplan
Bassano 2020: the axis of the museums
Start with this number a series of in-depth analysis and to learn about the choices that characterize the single project of urban transformation of an important piece of the city
Inspiration
In 2004 , visiting the beautiful exhibition Renzo Piano in the Old Port of Genoa, I read (and I was impressed) its presentation to the Masterplan that offered to his beloved city. "It 's a free supply and free delivery to the city and its institutions, its future planning, ports, industrial and social. I hope that the content of this fresco, which of course can be deepened and improved, is not distorted: in which case, as I said, I shall avail myself of the traditional right to grumble, as in the best tradition of the Genoese contracts of shipment .... " This extraordinary gesture of a great civic architecture in the world to his city, has inspired with conscious modesty of distant proper proportions, we offer the city of Bassano del Grappa, a set of possible visions of the urban strategy in the next decade proiettino dynamically.
The existing museum
The area covered by the Masterplan in its northern part, may be considered an ideal continuation of the historical center of the avenue over Fosse. Besides, the proximity to the railway station itself as the ideal interchange and access to the function performed by the cultural tourist town of Bassano.
In the historical center are located all the cultural offerings in the form of museum Bassano, connected by trails that open up urban civic spaces that are themselves part of the elements tourism system in the city (Piazza Garibaldi, Piazza Libertà, piazzotto Montevecchio rising Ferracina, Ponte Vecchio, Via Angarano, the banks of the Brenta, etc...) This led to shows all the buildings built or cores that perform a similar function or museum (exhibitions, monuments) and the paths that connect them together. Have been identified from the east (the area overlooking the area of the Masterplan) to the west, the complex of the former barracks CIMB-Ferrari, now home to temporary parking, but with final design approved and signed by the architect. Carlo Aymonino, for the Museums and Cultural Santa Chiara (expansion of the Museum, Museum of the Automobile-Vimar Bonfanti, Luca Nature Museum Foundation), the venue for temporary exhibitions of building Agostinelli, the complex of buildings that make up the Museum The Civic Tower, overlooking Piazza Garibaldi, the venue for temporary exhibitions and conferences of the Angel Church in Via Roma, Palazzo Sturm, which houses the collection of prints of Remondini, the new headquarters of the Urban Center and overlooks the Brenta, the Ponte Vecchio; the building of the former slaughterhouse on the right bank of the river, which will become headquarters for a private exhibition and contemporary art events and finally Bonaguro palace, overlooking Via Angarano north and Brolo for the next recovery and development to the south.
The connections between these buildings, museums, exhibition venues and events and monuments, historic trails are through all the inner core of the old city, in most pedestrianized, which overlook the important role of identity constructions that have for the character of the city of Grappa.
The ideal connection and continuation of the Old Hospital, will also rely on this important feature, having to provide on the one hand the inclusion of architectural elements that complement and complete the cultural offer and give priority to the other through the use of the same footpaths that are not overlap with other flows, allowing visitors to move safely. Particular attention should therefore be given when crossing the Avenue of Fosse, which is particularly busy, and the connection to the train station, an important point of access to the city.
Objectives of the project
analysis, the museum system in this city is enclosed within the old town. This is now an advantage, as the museums and monuments are all within easy reach, but suffered a sharp break with the area of \u200b\u200bthe Masterplan.
Having latter, in its northern part, be the ideal continuation of the old town itself, must be permanently connected via Jacopo da Ponte with an underground pedestrian crossing sign distinguishable and characterizing the entire operation. To this must, however, added a feature that complements the museum system as the city already owns, a new building with the prevailing cultural function to complete the offer Bassano. If the area of \u200b\u200bthe Old Hospital will host in the near future, the Citadel Services is vital, in our view, provide within the public-private agreements necessary for the transformation of the firm itself, building a core, defined Civic Center, which can act as a catalyst for the city's dynamic cultural offerings, a multi-purpose space that will "transform" adapting from time to time, to meet the tasks necessary to complete the cultural offer of temporary cities (conference venue used for meetings, conferences, film screenings, theater space equipped with fly tower and a capacity of 1200 seats, ideal for classical and contemporary performances ). A structure now missing the city, designed according to the dictates more pragmatic which could lead to an active and qualified international inserted in the tourist with the aim of attracting new and exciting flywheels also cheap for our area.
The project proposal
The inclusion of the new Museums of Santa Chiara in the former barracks CIMB-Ferrari is in fact a completion of that path inside the Old Town that is natural to define "Axis of Museums."
Furthermore, the same complex will be proposed as an element in dialogue with the area of \u200b\u200bthe Old Hospital, a point of connection with the Citadel Services and the desired Center Civic which may, in addition to hosting various cultural events and entertainment, also important to encourage new business Congress as outlined above.
E 'for this reason that this link should take an absolute highlight, as is the point of connection and continuity between the old town of Bassano and areas for the next transformation.
This involves the development of the cultural role of the armature of the territory as an array of places and identity as a strategic line and priority to local development, the value of which is discussed starting from some fixed points of a declination renewed sustainable development: the whole is seen as a cultural system, the result of processes stratified in the time and opportunity for creative new interpretations, meanings and compatible economic interventions made by history and culture on the table of the competition.
territorial planning of cultural heritage is dealt with not as a sector or as a simple attribute of quality of development, but as a cultural matrix gene of all sustainable development: sustainability constitutional, cultural, managerial and economic , considered as areas of opportunity for the protection and enhancement of the cultural fabric of the place.
These actions and instruments capable of transforming land use planning in "cultural planning of the territory, able to express a multiple development, locally based and globally competitive because of the cultural heritage interwoven with the armature, that is, simultaneously, the evolution of specific places and the universal culture of humanity .
All options are included in the assessed value strategic direction of the attribution to the local quality and the cultural identities of local contexts, the resources to know how to read, interpret, preserve, improve and communicate.

Carlo Ferraro - Deputy Mayor of Bassano with responsibility for Culture
In this debut of the second millennium, Bassano del Grappa is experiencing a important - perhaps decisive - its evolution and urban planning, which aims to redraw the strategic role of the city, inside and outside the walls.
inside perimeter of the walls of the old Viscount, two significant structural and functional operations are coming to fruition: the expansion of Civic Museum and Library, just south of the old site, and a little farther on, in Marinali, the completion of the Citadel of Justice on the abutments of the old prisons.
In the north-east of the center in place of demoted former barracks complex CIMB-Ferrari, is about to leave the completion of an ambitious project of considerable architectural quality, which bears the signature of the prestigious architect Charles Aymonino. I refer to the Museums of Santa Chiara, which will provide an appropriate forum at the Museum of Natural History and the Automobile Museum.
Outside the walls, to expand the very heart of the city, that's open - to the east - the unique opportunity of re-use physical and functional area of \u200b\u200bthe Old Hospital, which is now underway on a wait operation of "Masterplan" . On the other hand, to the west, (re) views suggestive hypotheses such as "water Squares" (project Chipperfield) of the Brenta and the renovation of the former slaughter for Museum and Center for Promotion of Contemporary Art (operation the latter, promoted by a private individual). If we read these new realities in the existing overlap (Civic Museum of Ceramics Remondini and Palazzo Sturm, Torre Civica, Bonaguro palace, palace Agostinelli, Chapel of the Angel, Ezzelini Castle with its outdoor theater), emerges from a museum of outstanding quality and variety of themes and locations. Ultimately, an appeal of the city raised in the cultural field and, consequently, tourism and economic development.
