While the future of “Sopraelevata Aldo Moro,” an elevated highway/bypass, remains unclear due to future traffic rerouting, various plans have been proposed to replace the existing, soon-to-be abandoned infrastructure. With the assumption that this elevated highway transforms into a park similar to the high line in New York City, this project proposes an extension of the Maritime Museum, or “Galata Museo del Mare,” to the park
The extension from the park toward the Maritime Museum creates a method of interaction between the park's and the museum's circulation. The extension allocates a new path from the park to the main entrance via a set of stairs, connecting the existing parking lot and the diagonal elevator. A more elegant method of exiting the museum has been offered leading back onto the extension itself
