Orizzontale in synergy with Edilpiù, take the idea of nomadic architecture, considering the circle as the most immediate form through which a place is identified, as both a founding act and an ephemeral gesture. According to this idea, LuOgo transforms, with its circular structure, the lawn of Piazza dei Martiri, constituting a new centrality in the city, a new community space.
"The main square of Lugo is a monumental space, in which the layering of history has created a solid and lasting image. At the same time, this large, orderly and measurable space is crossed daily by discontinuous and unpredictable flows. In this dialectic between the defined urban context and the incessant transformation dictated by the human factor, ephemeral architecture, which is by definition transitory, finds a new topicality and new forms of expression."
Margherita Manfra is one of the founders of the Orizzontale collective.

LuOgo is a multifaceted space, a closed and permeable enclosure, a public area, an open-air room, and a thin membrane that embraces a portion of public space, giving it the condition of the place, thanks to the interaction between people.
The creation process, which lasted less than a week (18-24 June), took the form of a workshop open to inhabitants, students and young professionals, for a total of 15 participants.
A structure of simple and functional modules, which allows infinite configurations, a site accessible to all, where different uses can coexist. Enriched with terraces, swings, slides and deckchairs, the wooden perimeter structure is equipped with LED lighting and screened by shading sheets and metal nets covered by climbing plants, to constitute a rhythm in the visual score and an impalpable protection filter between the interior and exterior.
The new set designed by Orizzontale in synergy with Edilpiù, reinterprets the concept of threshold, imagining it as a shared space and not as a border, with the aim of bringing the community back into the collective spaces of a small urban centre.
