| COMUNE DI PRATO ASSESSORATO ALL'AMBIENTE,LAVORI PUBBLICI E CENTRO STORICO Il Mercatale di Prato INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION FOR IDEAS FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PIAZZA MERCATALE IN PRATO. Re-evaluating the use of public urban spaces. This is a huge Square, near the river at the foot of one of the most important Apennine passes of the entire plane, the market place, encircled by houses with Porticos built to give shelter to the traders and their goods. These are all elements which make Mercatale a rich and multi-structured example of how urban identity, economic reality and physical space can be closely related to each other. The Square, over time, has lost its commercial function, but without ceasing to be a central point of reference for those living in and around the town. In defining the destiny of these urban spaces, economic, political and social factors enter into play along with the ability of the society itself to recognise and develop important collective values for the Square which can keep pace with the contemporary "vitality". This competition offers the opportunity to examine closely the function of space in the Square and its relationship with the entire urban structure. The competition stems from the realisation of the central importance of the Square and the numerous values which have been historically consolidated around it, so much so that the Square encompasses the origins and development of the town of Prato. Furthermore, the Square is still today the focal point for a complex system of urban and territorial relationships. Because of this, several specific elements are recognised as essential for the organic planning of the Square and its surroundings. In particular: - The utilization of its environmental peculiarities. The particular collocation, configuration and extension of the Square characterizes an urban space of extreme interest. This goes over and above the purely historical reasons which have already indicated it as the reflection of the town itself (if you think of the many views of the bridge and the Canto al Mercatale which can be seen in the town's iconography) and includes both the environmental aspect as well as the social-economic aspect. - The return of an identity. In the course of the centuries up until today, the Square has interpreted the expectations and planning development of Prato, binding its own formation and transformation to that of the town. Every epoch has left its mark on the Square, starting with the 14th century town walls and Porta Mercatale built along the river Bisenzio, then the cortine style characteristics of the houses arrayed with their porticos and handicraft workshops, followed by the "Case Nuove" of the 17th century. A century later it was to encompass the valentinian architecture with its "Tiratoi" (the old textile factory) and "Tondo", an occasionally used circular racing-course, arriving at the contradictory and debatable events, however vital, of this century around which we find the renovated "Fiera di Settembre", with the creation of the garden and the demolition of the "Tiratoi" and their replacement with the ex Casa del Fascio (fascist headquarters), this too resulting from an urban planning competition. - The re-weaving of the urban scene. In this context, the destruction resulting from the war has determined rents which have only been partly mended by time. After the painful loss of the Church and Convent of San Bartolomeo, the collapse of the Lippi Tabernacle and the bombing of many houses, the following attempts at re-construction have been fragmented and today give the urban scene a heterogeneous look. - Giving back functionality to the entire urban sphere. This must be done using sustainable models which, through the use of contemporary language, enable us to encourage a process of modernisation coherent with the specific characteristics that have already been recognised and to increase, as a sign of urban quality, the possibilities for using and improving this extraordinary public space. I - DETAILS OF THE COMPETITION 1. Type and Title of the competition. The Comune di Prato, Area Opere Pubbliche e Ambiente (Public Works and Environment Area), situated in Via dei Tintori, 48 - 59100 PRATO tel/fax. 0574/616652, in executing the deliberation of the "Giunta Comunale" (Town Administration) n. 442 del 12/07/2001 announces the "Concorso Internazionale di Idee per la riqualificazione di Piazza Mercatale" (International competition for ideas for the redevelopment of Piazza Mercatale) . The Responsible of the Procedure is the Technical Functionary Architect Luca Piantini. Entrance to the competition is reserved for architects and engineers who fulfil the requirements provided for in Article 4. 2. The aims of the competition. Throughout time the Square has held a central role, as a place of commerce, but also as a meeting place and for social integration, a highly representative place endowed with a strong vocation for absorbing and assimilating the transformations of the society, thus performing an urban function which must be safeguarded. The town administration intends to acquire a plan which will substitute the Progetto Norma 6.3 of the PRG (Piano Regolatore Generale - Town Council General Regulatory Plan) and will constitute the base plan for all future transformations in the area covered by the competition. For this, the entrants will be required not only to present a summary estimate, but also to indicate how the work can be separated up into "Unità Minima d'Intervento" (UMI - Minimum Units of Intervention) over a period of time. Given the international importance of a theme such as public space and the opportunity which this competition provides for the promotion of the image of Prato within the European sphere, the competition proposes to: · Modify the spaces in the Square and find the right harmony and compatibility between the historic and economic profile of the town, its urban form and its environmental values. · Find a solution for the Square which on the one side will make advantage of its urban qualities and historical value, and on the other side will create a strong bond with the dynamics of contemporary society through functional solutions which will satisfy the needs of both the day-time and night-time activities which take place there. · Modify an entire urban sphere through a series of co-ordinated actions, choosing the best planning solution which combines the different needs of rationalisation of the road systems and the revitalisation of a commercial centre. The Town Council intends to acquire a plan which will substitute the Progetto Norma 6.3 of the PRG and which will provide a planning guide for all future development in the area considered by the competition. In order to achieve this, the participants will be required, not only to submit a summary estimate, but also to indicate the various "Unità Minime d'intervento" (UMI - Minimum Units of Intervention) which can be realised separately over a period of time. The idea that wins the price is acquired by the Town Council and will be its property. The definition of technical and town-planning aspects will be entrusted to the winner of the competition. The Town Council will insert the project in the Triennial Program of Public Works as accorded by law 109/94. As provided for by art. 57, sixth clause, of the DPR 554/99 the winning project could be put as base of a contest of a subsequent project competition for the entrusting of the architectonical design. The winner of the prize will be admitted at the relative procedure, if fulfils the requirements provided for it. 3. The object of the competition. Since the closure of the weekly market, the Square has mainly served as a public parking area, only occasionally assuming the function of a public space used for large demonstrations. Recently, the prerogatives of the large urban space itself have spontaneously encouraged the creation of a large number of bars and clubs, especially used by the younger generations, even though this has caused conflict with local residents. Despite the recognised vitality of the Square, it has suffered from an early state of environmental deterioration because of the excessive amount of traffic, mainly caused by its use over the last few years almost exclusively as a parking lot and by the fact that, at this point, it has totally lost the commercial role it assumed with the handicraft workshops. The subtraction of the available space from town life and from the needs of the local residents, the general conditions of decorations and structures found today in the Square which are totally inadequate in relation to the importance and tradition of the place (just think of the fountain of the Magheri, the suggestive temporal decorations of the ancient Fiera, of the pictorial décor on the public and private buildings) doesn't make it possible today to use the Square in a way which fully expresses its extraordinary potential. For these reasons the theme of the recovery of the square can't be simply limited to the spatial sphere of reference, but must be incorporated into a much wider context, also considering its town-planning values and all the various aspects which are implied. Therefore, it seems necessary to extend the object of the competition to the surrounding area, especially with respect to the road systems and parking, including the parking area in Via A. Martini and il Bastione delle Forche (ramparts and gallows), Via Silvestri which is the connecting road to Piazza San Marco and another important central point of the town and the roads leading to the parts of the town on the other side of the river, the station and the new underground car park "il Serraglio". The competition has extended the perimeters of the Progetto Norma 6.3 of the PRG, to include significant points of reference in the urban landscape, the walls and the river and other major functional features such as Via A. Martini, encouraging both Italian and European architects to elaborate the best planning solutions in order to satisfy the individual functional requirements for the future and to take advantage of the historical characteristics of the Square using innovative solutions. The entrants are required to produce a planning proposal which will allow the reconstruction of Piazza Mercatale and the transformation of the present open-air car park into a multifunctional area which will be renowned for its great flexibility and used for a series of different functions such as markets, cultural events, exhibitions and anything else which might play a part in contemporary life. Particular attention must be given to the following terms: · Moving the open-air public car parks away from the public area of the Square and at the same time rationalising the available parking areas for local residents with the possibility of providing for either underground or partially underground car parks in the area included around the edge of the competition area, as long as they are compatible with the characteristics and improvement of the urban area. · Defining the necessary work for the redevelopment of the Square. Propose systemization, installations, paving and manufactured articles which are compatible with the typological and environmental characteristics, the building materials and the colour schemes already existing in the Square. · The new position of the car park along the walls of Via A. Martini in order to improve the road system running between Bastione delle Forche - the walls - Piazza San Marco. It is possible to foresee the transformation of the Square as a result of removing both the public and private parking places. · The planning of new access routes and connecting roadways between the square and the suburban systems (Bastione delle Forche and the walls, the river and the cycling-pedestrian paths, the car park in Via A. Martini etc. ). · A critical review of the layout of the green areas. · A new outlook for urban planning aiming to exploit all useful spaces in the re-evaluation of the urban sphere, especially regarding the Headquarters of the Customs Offices (presently in the ex Casa del Fascio), the buildings which occupy the spaces next to the walls behind the historical complex of the "Case Nuove" and their ground floors taking into consideration all possible future uses and modifications. · The rationalisation of the road-system for crossing the Square and connecting it with the rest of town. It is therefore necessary for the participant himself to produce a fully comprehensive strategic proposal for bringing about the planned work, taking into consideration all possibilities available under the laws in force regarding Public Works. To this aim, given the prospective of executing the proposals which shall come up during the competition and considering the large area of the urban sphere and the different problems which must be addressed, we require the participants to indicate the "Unità Minima d'Intervento" - UMI (Minimum Units of Intervention), each coherent in itself, allowing the possibility for investment from private patrons to help in their realization. The quantitative and dimensional elements of the plan are specified in the material and information delivered to the participants as a result of their registration.

The jury is comprised of 7 permanent members, technical experts in the subjects encompassed by the various recognised professional societies. There will be 3 renowned experts nominated by the Administrators of the Town Council: Architect Francoise Burkhadt (Koln, Germany); Architect Andrea Branzi (Milano, Italia); Architect Roberto Collovà (Palermo, Italia) Architect Paolo Maria Vannucchi,nominated by the Municipality of Prato; Architect Paolo Mazzoni nominated by the Soprintendenza of Monument; n. 1 Architect to be nominated by the CNA n. 1 Engineer to be nominated by the CNI n. 7 substitutes members nominated by the same above mentioned Organisations. The members of the jury have to declare to abide by all the competition rules. The decision of the Jury is indisputable and can only be reached if all members of the jury are present. A meeting of the jury is only valid if all its members are present. When one of the permanent members notifies that he will be unable to attend one of the sittings for sudden incapacity or any other reason, a procedure whereby the corresponding substitute will be summoned shall be initiated. If this happens for two consecutive sittings, the permanent member ceases to fulfil his role and will be permanently replaced by the substitute. The President of the Jury must be elected at the first meeting by the permanent members. His moral task will be to ensure that the transparency and correct proceedings of the competition are respected. The components of the jury cannot receive other posts from the Examining Body either in planning or consultancy which are in any way related to the object of the competition, either as individuals or as components of a group for a period of 12 months. Those members of the Jury who are not part of the Town Council administration will receive as a token of their presence a sum of L 700,000 for every meeting attended, as well as a reimbursement for costs effectively sustained. The President of the Jury in overseeing the Competition will be able to make use of the Competition's secretary and Coordinator, who will have the task of recording the proceedings and assisting and cooperating with him in all his examination activities. 13. The work of the Jury After the last closure date for handing in the presentations the person responsible for the procedure together with the Coordinator will oversee the opening of all the files containing the presentations for the competition and the envelopes with the documents and will compile a list with a recognition number for the plan (protocol) and a progressive number which must not correspond with the order of delivery of the presentations. The progressive number order must be applied to every presentation for the competition and on every sealed envelope containing the personal details, the signature and the participant's documentation. The list containing the ordered numbers and the recognition number must be deposited together with the envelopes in a safe place, until the end of the public sitting. The Jury, called together by the Coordinator, with at least 15 days warning, must finalise the examination of the technical presentations within 60 days from the closure date of the competition. The work of the jury will be secret and valid only in the presence of all its members. A verbal register will be kept by the secretary and guarded for 90 days after the declaration of the winner, which will be presented in a conclusive report containing the final classification, together with the relative reasons, indication of the method used and summary of the course of the work. The jury will proceed in the following manner: · It will exclude all plans not conforming to the requirements of the competition · It can define further judgement criteria with respect to those already defined by the competition rules as long as they do not contradict any requirements. The substitute members can however assist with the work of the Jury. The Jury, as well as conferring the prizes provided for by the competition can decide unanimously to confer special mentions or recommendations without prize money. The prizes shall however be assigned and will not be admitted ex-aequo (unless the Jury decides unanimously that it is divided in its opinion and accepts this judgement for serious and justifiable reasons). Any prizes not assigned must however be divided between the participants. If a classification were not agreed upon within the time scale provided for, the entire sum of prize money would be divided equally among all participants. 14. Results of the competition and Prizes Within 15 days of the final judgement of the presentations and of the drawing up of the classification of merit, the Jury will proceed to open the sealed envelopes during a public sitting, checking all documents. The jury will then announce the assignment of prizes. If one of the prize winners gets excluded at this point as a result of the check carried out on the documentation, he will be immediately substituted by the next person in the classification. The competition provides for a total of 3 prizes and 3 recommendations (with reimbursement of costs) to be attributed in the following manner: - Assignment to the winner of the 1st prize of L. 42,000,000 equivalent to Euro 21.691,19; - Assignment to the winner of the second prize of L. 27,000,0000 equivalent to Euro 13.944,34; - Assignment to the winner of the 3rd prize of L. 16,000,0000 equivalent Euro 8263,31; - Assignment of 3 prizes worth all together L. 15,000,000 equivalent to Euro 7.746,85. These prizes are given in their gross amount, that is including VAT and any other contribution towards Social Assistance. The winner project will be adopted by tha Administration of the Town as the new Piano Norma of the area and will constitute the guide project for all the future transformations that will concern the area object of the Competition. The idea that wins the price is acquired by the Town Council and will be its property. The definition of technical and town-planning aspects will be entrusted to the winner of the competition. The Town Council will insert the project in the Triennial Program of Public Works as accorded by law 109/94. As provided for by art. 57, sixth clause, of the DPR 554/99 the winning project could be put as base of a contest of a subsequent project competition for the entrusting of the architectonical design.
