> The organization of the Neapolis Archaeological Park in Siracusa (Sicily) on a territorial scale was a challenge that required the attention of multiple factors.
The planned functional program included a visitor center, underground parking facility for cars and buses, and the reorganization of the park's visitor routes.
The project action can be defined on two levels: reconnecting the park with the city and defining the place.Through a system of public avenues, it is possible to go freely to the Amphitheater, without obstructions.The new visitor centre relates to the slope in front of the Latomie, generating a strong dialogue.
The composition design is minimal: two reinforced concrete walls, one vertical and one inclined, define both the interior and exterior spaces, creating relationships and revealing views.
