Here´s NáBITO architects proposal for this Settled urban competition
A key goal of the project is to integrate the historic village of Ognina with Catania's waterfront and revitalize the suburb. The master plan proposes removing the existing flyover that disrupts connectivity. In its place, a bicycle and pedestrian walkway will enhance views and create seamless access between the village, waterfront, and city.
The raised walkway will ensure safe passage for walkers and cyclists, highlighting harbor views and Ognina's history. Below, gardens will promote relaxation, while a refreshed main square with seating and shade trees will foster community gatherings and celebrate local culture. The project emphasizes local materials, using lava stone to outline pathways and the square, enhancing cultural identity and connecting to Catania's geological heritage.
