Piazza Nord, Parco F V, Milan

Parco Franco Verga has a piazza with a café kiosk situated at each of the three main entrances. The design philosophy used in the broader context of the park has been applied to the design of each piazza. The geology of the region produces spring lines where water bursts from the ground unexpectedly. This idea has been used to develop a relationship of paving and water features in the piazzas.

Piazza Nord has strong lines, water channels, crisp earth embankments and plantations of Poplar and Cherry trees inspired by the Lombardy landscape. A fragmented geometry of granite paving is contained by low concrete walls.  A concrete cube kiosk with roof-top seating and a stainless steel pergola provide a central focus to the space. TV Boy murals have been applied to the walls of the kiosk.
