Abstract
The contribution is part of the debate on trans-scalar design, outlining a role for design within a system of strategies. The river courses, natural infrastructures yesterday and holders of a denied natural identity today, provide specific scope for reflection, starting from research experiences within the territories of the Metropolitan City of Turin, where design has been accompanied by a River Basin Governance method/tool. Detailed design choices form the backbone for the institutional concerting of actors and specialists in the definition of a system strategy aimed at a new vision of the landscape planning and design process.

Città di Torino, Assessorato alle Politiche per la casa ed il Verde, Settore Grandi Opere del Verde Pubblico. Torino Città d’Acque is the project approved in 1993 by the Municipality of Turin which envisages the recovery of the riverbanks in a single river park running for a length of 70 km, with a surface area of 17 million square metres. The operation connects Turin’s four rivers (Po, Dora Riparia, Stura and Sangone) to create a continuous system of river parks connected by networks of pedestrian and cycle paths, nature and educational trails, with the defense and enhancement, for each river, of the environmental and architectural details. Opening up subsequently to the territorial scale , the plan envisages the creation of a transition area between the parks in the city centre and the larger parks on the hillside and in the outskirts, as far as the regional parks in the suburban area, connected via the “Corona Verde” with the farming and forestry context of Piedmont’s valleys.

The Michelin and Cebrosa areas, totalling approximately 600,000 square metres, located north of the Stura, along Corso Romania, envisage the transformation of an area with a mainly manufacturing vocation, thanks to the adoption of two Integrated Programmes (PR.IN.), into a complex with company management offices, residential accommodation, some social housing, service units and services for sport and leisure, all incorporated into a network of public spaces and pathways.

With Ernesto Bertolini and Lapo Lani, Design Favela High Tech, Masterplan for Eindhoven, a metadesign for the areas abandoned by Philips, with a weak urbanisation model made up of a productive agricultural territory that could be crossed with research laboratories, residential accommodation, leisure structures, an enzymatic territory with no stable image that changes its layout with the seasons, the way the agriculture around it does.

Strategic regional project launched in 2003, the Direction Scheme was drawn up by Turin Polytechnic (2007) with the aim of creating a green infrastructure which incorporates the “Crown of Delights” of the Royal residences into the greenbelt, represented by the natural heritage of the metropolitan parks, the rivers and the rural areas which have changed very little, to requalify the metropolitan territory of Turin and improve the quality of life.

The appointment for the Regulatory Plan for Lauro, a municipality in the province of Avellino, with 3700 inhabitants, is dated 1981. The work team was made up of Antonio De Pascale and Francesco Venezia, and Venezia’s studies, which analyse the theme of am “untidy” periphery which invades a farming landscape, are very interesting (Venezia 1984).
