Urban Design
The fields of interest and of work can be summarized by the following points:
- Variants of regulatory plans
- Detailed plans
- Feasibility studies for the reorganisation of run-down urban areas.
- Consultancies and projects regarding environmental work.
Albera Monti & Associati has a project philosophy based on the conviction that the town, with its buildings and monuments, is one of the most important expressions of the culture and traditions of a people, and of its expectations for the future. Therefore a good city plan is a formal as well as a moral thing, it is a political and cultural synthesis.
It is necessary to protect the existing city context from the risk of fragmentation, integrating each new addition with the existing, while at the same time fully guaranteeing the possibility for a community to develop in diversity, satisfying its cultural and economic needs.
For such reasons our work aims to address the issues of urban space, preserving, and, wherever necessary, recreating and revitalising the social, cultural and economical complexity of city life, favouring projects that remain in a liveable scale, using footpaths and green spaces, public and semi-public. City planning requires several levels of analysis and interaction, approaching problems in connection with site planning, architecture and space planning.
Our projects usually concern preparation of short and medium term development strategies. When requested, we help our clients to define their own needs in spatial terms, be it for a speculative project or to create facilities to be used by the client himself.
