The project borns from relations with landscape and from this relation it catches forms sense and value. The idea for the new Hospital centre of Livorno is an inbetween system between coast and hill systems; the building itself is an artificial hill, an articulation of spaces located at different height that accompanies the passage from the sea to the hill. L'andamento a gradoni nasce allo stesso tempo dal desiderio di adagiarsi all'andamento plano altimetrico dell'area, di guardare la costa e il mare, di diventare esso stesso un pezzo di paesaggio e contribuire ad arricchirlo.
