Saw this weird skeleton structure by the river side of the Dora, in the Eco Park.
The
skeleton of the structure is preserved and integrated in the design of the
Envipark Technology Park and the Dora Park housed the bar finishing department and the small iron warehouse during the Ferriere
period .
A plate located near the new Service Center remembers the former
function of the area and the discontinued activity at December 31, 1989.
The Ingest area of Parco Dora , with its 47,000 m², is the smallest lot Dora Park, and is at the further west; It develops longitudinally along Via Nole in the area bounded by Via
Borgaro, immediately behind the residential complex at via Valdellatorre
and the Church Chiesa del Santo Volto.
The
design of this batch of the Park is characterized by a succession of
areas with different functions and configurations: a arranged
lawn, wooded areas, areas equipped for games, flower beds and a water
garden with deep baths and running water channels. The
latter is achieved by using large footings and foundation concrete
structures of Fiat mills occupying the area before the transformation; also belonged to the old plant a row of pillars that support the walkway, along the area from west to east.
The Dora Park (parch Dòira in Piedmontese) is a post-industrial park in the city of Turin with an area of 456,000 m², located in the Spina 3 zone where until the nineties there were the big factories of Fiat and Michelin.
It takes its name from the river that passes through it, the Dora Riparia, and is surrounded by via Nole streets, via Valdellatorre, from the Mortara tunnel, largo Orvieto, via Livorno, via Daubrée, corso Umbria, Piazza Piero della Francesca, between the Districts 4 and 5.
In parco Dora, under the huge shelter, there is space for varies sports. At one end is specially for board skating, especially catered for young kids who love to practice sliding up and down curved surface.....
In this group of kids enjoying the activity, this girl is particularly stand out.
A piece of land in front of Parco Dora Valdocco is currently work in progress, now it provides a open and vast view to the buildings across, before they build any structure which would block the view.
Some reflection shots of the structures.....
