... Il progetto per la realizzazione del Padiglione delle Feste del Parco del Cormòr a Udine fa parte del disegno di insieme di un giardino popolare che si sta costruendo recuperando il territorio naturale supersitite della periferia urbana più degradata. Quarantacinque ettari sperimentali su duemila ettari di Piano.
Il Padiglione delle feste e degli Incontri è l'ingresso al Parco e rappresenta il valore simbolico della ricostruzione ambientale attuata.
E' un'opera di riunificazione tra Architettura, Albero, Giardino, Campo, Territorio e Città. E' un omaggio a Potsdam. Un omaggio al piano di abbellimento dei dintorni di Potsdam di Peter Joseph Lennè.

Parco del Cormor - Udine - 1990-93
The park is the first leg of a hug plan for restoring the entire hydrogeological basin of Cormor.
The architect Pirzio-Biroli, used old maps to find the traces of olden-day tracks and carriageways.
A drainage and irrigation plan was set into place with a retention basin.
Along the motorway, plantings are particularly thick, so as to create a light-absorbent barrier
On the outskirts of Udine (Italy) a tract of 2000 hectares has been earmarked for conservation. Of them, a 45-hectare area of particularly degraded land along the banks of the river Cormor was recently restored in an experimental park project. At the entrance to this park the Pavilion destined to house small events, and the warden's house leaning up against it, give the key-note. Designed by Pirzio-Biroli, the building is rich in references old and new. Its intention salutes the plan for the environs of Potsdam drawn up by Peter Joseph Lenné between 1816 and 1860. The project also imitates manner: that of Heinrich Tessenow in his first aketches for the National Gallery in Berlin, and of Lenné in his work on the 'Prussian Versailles'. The figurative research at work in the design is based on the topography: a grove of slender poplars, and vistas receding into the countryside. The horizontality of the landscape and the verticality of the trees are reflected in the upsurge of the column shafts and the thin line of the roof that tops them, or in the long sloping base of the walls. The generating figure of the pavillon is the square: broken down it produces the rectangle of the plan and organizes the differentiated grid of the columns. Apart from its learned references, the surprise that this little building holds in store lies in the way it inserts itself into the scenery: seen from the north it seems to have been simply set down, but from the south it is solidaly anchored.
