Atelier Kempe Thill joined a group of designers to submit a proposal—combining high-density urban development with as much public green as possible—for the future master plan of the former Scalo Farini railway yard in Milan, Italy. The aim was to enhance the living standard of the inhabitants of the city of Milan. The new neighborhood park, together with the already existing Cimitero Monumentale, creates one big urban Grossform that will function as a new public monument in the city of Milan. The proposed building program is organized around this intensely green, almost forest-like park. It consists of high-rise buildings with a minimum footprint, in order to offer a maximum amount of public space.
