Xiaofei Wu_Ponte Parodi

Location: Genoa, Italy
Time: 2001-present
Architect: UNStudio
Program: Urban Complex – cruise terminal, wellness experience, knowledge experience, commercial experience, public park with amphitheater
Gross floor surface: 76.000m²
Site: 36.000 m²











"The Ponte Parodi project establishes a new city attractor based on the proliferation of experience. A three dimensional piazza located on the waterfront combines a variety of programs including a cruise terminal, wellness, cultural and leisure program, all of which bring liveliness to the old harbour. With its low-slung, undulating outlines the piazza provides a park with sport fields, beaches and other public functions while emphasizing the view of Genoa and its Alpine setting".
















I like the project because it integrates various functional space and the form into a basic three-dimensional grid. Through transformation, this grid connects the spaces at different levels with smooth transitions. Visitors could walk from the ground level to the roof level with beautiful view sight.
