Corso di Porta Ticinese - A Street of Interventions

After research into memorialising ruins through a more contemporary manner, the street of Porta Ticinese in Milan poses opportunities to house various interventions to reflect the remains of the wall's footprint over the city. The ruins of the Spanish Walls aims to be repurposed within smaller scale interventions and memorialising the wall through techniques used within the Venice Charter of 1964 are proposed in larger scale interventions.

Breaking the Barrier

The diagrams intertwine as a collective analysis to how the negative connotations of a separation wall, barrier or border wall can be overcome. The various diagrams represent research by scholar Derek Denman who states that the power of the wall is greater than the wall itself, through artist research such as cutting through as wall as Gordon Matta Clark's interventions and through Rem Koolhaas' AA studies on the Berlin Wall and its uses other than intended.

Architecture as a Monument

Through the urban mapping analysis of walled cities, this comparison map shows both Milan and Berlin where the state of the wall lies as a monument to the city. Both cities previously occupied with walls for various reasons both compare today with architectural monuments such as gates or ruins or artistic features to hold the memory of what the wall stood for.
