Techproject Wins International Design Competition for the New Carabinieri Headquarters and Mediterranean Park in Syracuse
An urban regeneration project integrating engineering, architecture, environmental sustainability, and public space.
Techproject, as the lead company, has won the international design competition launched by the Italian State Property Agency (Agenzia del Demanio) for the new Provincial Carabinieri Headquarters in Syracuse and the Mediterranean Park.
The winning proposal was developed in collaboration with DKA – Diele Kerciku Architetture, responsible for the architectural and urban design, and Greenwich – a Socotec Company, in charge of environmental sustainability strategies.
Located in the Contrada Pizzuta area, the project presents a new vision of public infrastructure, combining functional efficiency, technological innovation, architectural quality, and integration into the urban context.
The development covers an area of approximately 28,000 sqm and includes the construction of the new Carabinieri Headquarters, residential buildings for personnel, and an approximately 18,000 sqm Mediterranean Park, conceived as the central element of the urban transformation.
The design is structured around an integrated system of buildings, public pathways, and green spaces, with particular emphasis on environmental comfort, climate resilience, and the enhancement of the Mediterranean landscape.
The proposed solutions incorporate passive sustainability strategies, natural ventilation, solar shading, permeable surfaces, and drainage systems, helping to reduce environmental impact and improve microclimatic conditions.
“We have developed a technologically advanced proposal across all aspects of its construction, envisioning the new Provincial Carabinieri Headquarters in Syracuse as a public infrastructure: an institutional space that is open and integrated into the urban context, capable of becoming an attractive urban landmark while combining functionality, sustainability, architectural excellence, and engineering quality.”
Eng. Giancarlo Tanzi – Legal Representative, Sole Director and Technical Director of Techproject
This achievement confirms the value of Techproject’s multidisciplinary approach, based on the integration of engineering expertise and the ability to develop innovative solutions for complex public infrastructure projects, balancing functional requirements, sustainability, and the quality of spaces.
