COMPETITION OF IDEAS OF A PRIVATE ENTERPRISE ON THE “FORMER FIUME VENETO COTTON MILL” AREA

Art. 1 – Organizing body
Isola del Fiume S.r.l. with head office in Galleria Centrale no. 1/1 33082 Azzano Decimo (PN) in agreement with the Municipal Administration of Fiume Veneto (PN) as contained in the agreement signed the 24/09/2003 rep. 4197 and with the intervention of Friuli Venezia Giulia Autonomous Region putting into effect the decision of the Regional Committee number 66.
Art. 2 – Type of competition
For the goals and purposes we wish to reach, this ideas competition is the best possible method as it guarantees the collection of a multitude of ideas. By having many ideas to look at it will be possible to reach a mutual and quality decision that will also meet urban, architectonic and environmental requirements. A one stage competition has been opted for followed by a negotiated procedure to find the solution most suitable for implementation.
Art. 3 – Reasons for the competition
In 2001 Isola del Fiume S.r.l. acquired the entire property from Olcese S.p.a. and Olcese Immobiliare S.r.l. which comprises the production facility with relative offices and a clean electrical power plant (hydroelectric), both located on an island of about 100,000 square metres, plus a building located outside this area where, since the XIII century, there used to be a grain mill for the local inhabitants. To see what the best strategy will be to reuse this property as a whole and which must necessarily be compatible with the economic principles the owner-company must take into account, the latter has asked the Fiume Veneto Municipal Administration if it could launch a joint international ideas competition open to architects from all over the world and engineers who have the right to practice. Particular attention must be paid to the characteristics of the property, taking into consideration the delicate landscape and environmental aspects as well as the “island” configuration that must be maintained when designing the new road accesses, avoiding transit to vehicles foreign to the future life of the facility. The primary and secondary infrastructures must be designed as well as the areas to be set aside for future public and, of course, the building characteristics for dwellings, services-producing sectors, equipment and services, also public. In particular, the following functions must be included:
- housing and relative services/shops;
- housing and social housing for self-sufficient senior citizens with relative services;
- hydroelectric power station;
- square with a monument to the Sailor;
- civic centre: town hall of about 2,300 m2 with spaces for civic life;
- museum;
- auditorium seating 400-500;
- recreational and sports structures;
- river park.
Space must also be provided for activities that will allow the creation of jobs for at least forty people for a possible recovery and relative re-qualification of personnel once employed by the Olcese factory. Another point to be verified is the economic balance concerning the work of the private organizing body, considering the charges resulting from the purchase of the property: €.4,250,000.00 plus VAT; the estimate of costs of the primary and secondary urbanization works chargeable to the organizing body estimated at €.4,100,000.00 plus VAT; the parts of the property for Public Administration that will use them to make the square, the auditorium, the civic centre and the museum. The market prices will be considered as the average sales value per m2 of the commercial surface of the dwellings for calculating the proceeds: €.1,200.00; and the cost of construction per cubic metre €.300.00 (such amounts are approximate and not binding). From amongst the first three prize winning projects and after a negotiation procedure, the designer or team of designers will be chosen and assigned the job of drawing up the revised Master Plan – P.R.P.C. (Special Municipal Town Planning Scheme) which will also be a variation of the P.R.G.C. (General Municipal Town Planning Scheme) of the Fiume Veneto Municipality, at the discretion of the Organizing body. The P.R.P.C. will remain the property of Isola del Fiume S.r.l.
