The historic centre of Vigonza, a small town in the Venetian area, has the peculiarity of presenting the town hall and the church located in separated and distant places, while generally these landmarks for public life stay in the same area of the urban tissue. Vigonza is one of the subjects recently investigated by our students at the Architectural and Urban Composition 2 course taught on the master’s degree in Building Engineering—Architecture at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering of the University of Padua. The centres of the town of Vigonza were thought by our students as an opportunity to configure the unity of these symbolic and representative places. The analysis and design methodology make use of the tools developed on typology and urban morphologyUrban morphology studies by the Italian rationalist school aimed to search a meditated dialectic between the new and the old in the urban projectUrban project. The students’ proposals are basically focused on the new route which, like the string of a bow, connects the two important poles of the town, the administrative and the religious one. The intention was to reinforce their identityIdentity. The projects also involved a large green area located at the south of the path connecting the town hall and the church through a straight line. The research experience has shown that the contemporary urban design can insert new elements in the preexistent context while respecting the urban identityIdentity.
