BioMilano

“The idea of recovering the nostalgic form of a land divided into a few large backgrounds is routinely denied by the economic needs of urban populations, their cultural expectations, the mobility needs in the area and the polyarchy decision that has turned Europe into a universe governed by a multitude of actors and institutions, in idiosyncratic to a single public authority and shared. Today at three broad areas of the territories are hybrids and environmental contamination. Compounds often temporary and landscapes in transition, agricultural areas or parks become urban, industrial areas, which become natural oasis, squares and courtyards that become urban gardens, infrastructure rehabilitated through temporary forms of cultivation, natural areas or cultivated fields that become grazing; rural areas who return to nature in the form of theme parks. ”
Stefano Boeri
