The H.U.S.H. project
(Harmonization of Urban noise reduction Strategies for Homogeneous action
plans)
moves from the evidence that harmonization of noise action planning methods is
needed not only in Italy but also in all the European countries where a former
Legislation about noise planning was present at the moment of END Directive
adoption. The general objective is…
harmonization of national noise management standards with European Directive
49/2002 to obtain homogeneous noise Action Plans
Among specific objectives…
to define a new system (procedures and
database) for action planning and to test it in
two pilot cases (both of them in the city of
Florence)

The collection of subjective data has been directly used by designers, without reducing the level of originality and creativity of the children, taking care of selecting the most appropriate materials and solutions and taking into account the regulatory constraints for school buildings. The project for the garden of the school combines noise mitigation goals with the needs emerged in subjective survey. At the end, this project involved:- the building of a non intrusive barrier, for reducing noise in a visually pleasant way, well integrated with the space and, above all, enjoyed by the children during playtime;- the provision of games with educational purposes;-a wooden mobile amphitheatre to give lesson in the garden.
The location of different functions is closely related to the noise climate sub-areas of the garden.

WORK IN PROGRESS
During the realization of the proposed interventions some problems arose: the first one is the presence of on other yard in the same areas for the adjustment of the heating in the school.
The second problem is linked to the realization of a structure on the existent wall where it must be realized the noise barrier, due to the presence of unexpected underground piping.Another structural solution has been proposed by the Technical PM in accordance with Coordinating Beneficiary and Yard Supervisor.However such problems are solved in real-time, since the technical PM and the supervisor directly monitor major activities

The area of Brozzi-Quaracchi includes the historical quarters of Brozzi and Quaracchi, in the north-west of Florence. The area is delimited by two major roads: Via Pratese and Via Pistoiese Road. This is an area with high density of population and presence of a community deeply rooted in its territory. Noise annoyance to the population, is mainly caused by the flow of vehicles crossing the area between the two main roads using local streets rather than the road system outside the quarter.
