With Truckland Guidelines, Loci Anima puts for­ward an ambi­tious reflec­tion on the future of urban per­iphe­ries dedi­ca­ted to logis­tics. Far from func­tio­nal stan­dar­di­za­tion, this pro­ject explores a new aes­the­tic of infra­struc­ture, where archi­tec­ture, eco­logy, and mobi­lity shape a pro­duc­tive and livable land­scape.

Conceived as a manual for trans­for­ma­tion, the Truckland Guidelines envi­sion logis­tics hubs as evol­ving eco­sys­tems: gree­ned truck par­king areas, tech­ni­cal stops inte­gra­ted into mixed-use pro­grams (offices, accom­mo­da­tions, ser­vices), solar roof­tops, and sha­red rest spaces. The goal: to recon­cile indus­trial effi­ciency with urban qua­lity.

Loci Anima’s gui­de­lines rely on a sys­te­mic approach—integrating energy, flow mana­ge­ment, user com­fort, and spa­tial rever­si­bi­lity. Each piece of infra­struc­ture becomes a frag­ment of an eco­sys­tem: modu­lar, sus­tai­nable, and with a strong iden­tity.

With Truckland Guidelines, Loci Anima maps out a bold new vision for these contem­po­rary no man’s lands—transforming them into spaces of tran­si­tion, ser­vice, and inno­va­tion at the heart of the exten­ded metro­po­lis.
