Centro Direzionale Station, Naples, Italy
The Architecture and Culture Magazine features the Naples Underground Central Station ‘Centro Direzionale,’ designed by EMBT, which aims at creating a new correlation between the volcanic soil and the urban plan designed by Kenzo Tange during the 70s.
The underground station project has the purpose of creating a new topography characterized by a series of overlaid surfaces transforming the artificial surface into a new complex horizontal tectonic structure. Through the creation of such radical intervention, EMBT creates a public space which is able to
communicate with the history and the present development of the city whose geological character and the city life dynamism should be preserved and emphasized.
