La Corte del Gusto is a food court project developed for Il Castello shopping centre in Ferrara, where SOLIDS used architecture and custom furniture to reorganize circulation and create a more comfortable and recognizable hospitality environment. The intervention transforms a large shared area into a sequence of smaller spaces with different levels of intimacy while preserving an overall sense of visual continuity.

The design is structured around bespoke built-in elements that define routes, establish boundaries and organize seating areas. Rather than relying on movable furniture alone, permanent architectural objects guide pedestrian flow and give the food court a clear spatial hierarchy.

A consistent treatment of materials and fixed elements creates perceptual unity across the project, while differentiated furnishings introduce variety and help individual areas develop their own character. This balance between order and diversity allows the environment to remain coherent without becoming repetitive. The result is a functional and welcoming food court in Ferrara where circulation, furniture and spatial design work together to improve the quality of the visitor experience within Il Castello shopping centre.
