ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN COMPETITION
In the context of a Laboratory for Sustainability which the Expo 2015 in Milan offers, our multidiscipline team of specialists wants to present a proposal for discussion regarding the great potential that the symbiosis between nature and architecture can offer to man, as a contact of dialogue between the two, rather than of conflict. A new way of conceiving architecture, where sustainability is not limited to energy savings but also to the use of natural materials and products processed by man from nature itself, such as bamboo or plant-based ingredients that form and give character to the proposed project, allowing for the formation of an idea of symphony in which architecture and vegetation form a living biological organism, a gift for guests of the Expo for the future of the city of Milan.
