La Stazione Municipio della metropolitana di Napoli. Rifondare l'immagine e la materia della città.

The construction of an underground metropoli- tan transport system in Naples is an exemplary combination of art and functionality that re- designs and redefines urban places, involving important names from the international archi- tecture scene. The Municipio Station, in particu- lar, redefined neuralgic places rich in historical memory of both the surface and underground city, refounding the image and matter of the city. A street-square illuminated by a long blade of light runs uninterruptedly from the Maritime Station to Palazzo San Giacomo. Architecture constitutes here a founding principle of connec- tion between elements distributed in different times, layers and spaces and articulates in “com- mon places” a set of conditions of porosity, con- nectivity, permeability and accessibility.
