Experience the Fusion of Ancient Echoes and Modern Welcome at Siddi's Urban Gateway
Architectural Vision: Weaving History and Innovation into the Urban Fabric
At the heart of the Marmilla region, architect Martino Picchedda has masterfully reenvisioned the primary entry point to a local village, transforming it into a symbolic urban threshold. This design gracefully draws upon the ancient forms of the Giants' Tombs, weaving them into a contemporary narrative. The project celebrates the distinct character of the Sardinian landscape, utilizing corten steel, indigenous stone, and strategically placed lighting as key elements.
A Journey of Arrival: Transforming a Path into a Poetic Welcome
The transformation extends from the pedestrian paths to the vehicular entry and parking areas, inviting visitors on a reflective journey through Marmilla's scenic beauty. What was once a utilitarian route is now a compelling story of greeting and discovery, enhancing the experience of those entering the village. The interplay of corten steel, local stone, and light crafts a palpable sense of memory, identity, and landscape, creating a distinct marker that both welcomes newcomers and stands as a beacon of regional pride.
