Nursery Ried-Brig / COMAMALA ISMAIL

Ried-Brig is a small village situated along the road that connects through the Simplon Pass, the Canton of Valais in Switzerland with Italy. Its small and picturesque historic city-center was during the last decades circumscribed by a natural urban expansion. Although it has kept its attractiveness it has lost its centrality and significance. The project site is situated at the entrance of this historic city center and encompasses the village school premises, a parking lot and a sports facility building. All these elements are scattered on the existing geography and are the result of successive interventions throughout the years, resulting in a space without a clear order and identity. The project sought to solve these problems through punctual interventions disseminated through the site creating a new urban identity for Ried-Brig.
