Arcadia

Arcadia presents itself as a new hotspot in a fragile environment, to start a small urban revolution and revive a city affected by the economic crisis of recent years. Arcadia is a large public frame, multi-layered, flexible and adaptable to many layouts of space. The inner boulevard distributes the fixed macro-functions and the complementary ones, conceived as a tool-box that generates a system of possible spaces. Arcadia uses the Arch: it gives the building an iconic and traditional appearence, with the ambition to turn it into a clear identifying hotspot, a device for presenting Alcoy to the rest of the world.
