Regeneration of the former Vittorio Emanuele II Cavalry Barracks

The masterplan proposes the transformation of the former Barracks into a “city-building,” capable of bringing together public functions, services, education, culture, museums, social interaction, and well-being. Through a new distribution of spaces and targeted maintenance and renovation of the existing buildings (municipal offices, Ricottiana Library, Natural Science Museum, Historical Museum, Municipal Archive, Pascoli Secondary School), the complex will become an integrated hub focused on the quality of urban life. Alongside public functions, the project includes the strengthening of personal services, meeting spaces for families, senior living residences, student housing with an urban university campus, responding to the needs of an evolving population marked by ageing and increasing cultural diversity. The regeneration also involves the landscape design of the complex, which will create “Le Corti di Voghera”, a large system of interconnected courtyards and thematic gardens designed to host cultural, sports, and recreational activities.
