2021/22 WS INTERVALLO is an innovative resting system which exploits the structure of columns. The idea is originated because of the lack of seating and resting possibilities on the platforms of the Bolzano station. The goal consists in giving a new, poetical meaning to such a simple and practical object as a column.
A project made in the course
Mind the Gap…!
Ideas for a better quality of stay at Bolzano Station. Much is said about train stations. They are operating facilities and built ideology, a stop for public transport and cargo terminal, a showpiece of their city and a gateway to the world, an infrastructure hub and mobility-system component, a cathedral of the industrial age and shopping mall, a place of longing and Non-Place, a welcome home and a kiss goodbye. Based on our extensive field research and starting from a growing awareness of the ecological benefits of rail travel as well as the changing socio-cultural conditions – triggered by COVID-19 – the semester project focused entirely on the public user interface of Bolzano Station.
