Ears of Corvetto
Today buzzy and noise-polluted Lodi-Corvetto mile was recently the part of a completely different landscape – it was surrounded by wide fields and agricultural lands. Redefossi channel was not yet intubated and took its journey right along the Corso Lodi. Now these environments are lost: we observe a polluted sound environment that oppresses local residents. In addition to this effect, the historical and natural essence of the place has completely disappeared behind the new inevitable city noises. Knowing that the heritage of the village landscape is still preserved just around the corner from Lodi-Corvetto, the goal of the project is to recreate hidden or forgotten areas, using sound as the main explorer between locations and as a design tool for new types of urban spaces.
