Hammar_O2 | Europan12 - Giuseppe Tasquier, Sossio De Vita, Christian Musto, vincenzo fatigati, Giuseppe Parisi 01

The project is based on a new way of life. O2 means “oxygen”,closely related to the forestry environment with which the city will mix up and to the private vehicular mobility’s resetting. A city deep in the green,in harmony with the surrounding natural beauties. “Hammaro in an island and nobody knows it. No relationship with others. It lacks of mainland caos, the forest is its sea and extra-urban streets are its maritime route. My car is a ship by which I can reach my island. I stop and leave again,by bycicle, by foot, I don’t know yet. The question is this: Where do I go? To the seashore? To the town? To the park? To the golf center?

in the heart of the forest

I choose my route! My departure. My arrival. And the departures are imposed by this question. When I arrive,the car is an optional. I park it. I do not need it . I live the nature. I walk or ride a bike. I relax. What are the Hub? They are ports,interchange nodes that I choose to reach,according to my propensity,and from there I can move. I can park my car in the Hub or,on the contrary,I can reserve a car and then go far from the city. I can reach the Hub by bus. I have not a ship and I reach the island by ferry. Reached the Hub, I take an electric shuttle that brings me to the favourite destination. Or I rent a bike or a paddle boat,crossing the deep forest. Or I go on by foot,relaxing the eye,living the nature that receives me.

totally pedestrian. Only the services of electric transportation. 0 carbon dioxide, + oxygen.

I am a child. My name is Goran, I wake up, do breakfast and leave home. I take my bike and go to play. But first I go to my friend’s home,knocking on the door. I call him and he goes out. He takes his bike and we go for a ride. I’m riding with my friend. The forest is our playing field. It’s our world. Our friend without car! I do not breathe that bad propellent smell,but the oxygen that my “friend” offers to me. There aren’t streets. But cycle and pedestrian boulevard,having the right measurement to make pass easier one or two buses,by which my parents go to work,go to shopping,go to their dear friends or the granny that lives in a nursing home.
