Abstract
The graduation project: Simbiosi architettura natura is located in Milan. A city full of hardening, heating and polluted air. The project aims to green the city by forming a green ring around the park in which a green knowledge center is designed at the given location. Also at this location are remnants of old city walls, which are integrated and made visible again in this project.
A green oasis has been recreated sheltered from the paved and polluted city. Around this oasis are several pavilions for Feltrinelli (library), Microsoft (office & technology center) and the a museum. These pavilions each have their own space, but are connected by the garden and bridges in between.
Within this project the relationship between greenery and buildings; a symbiosis is central. For this reason, each of the buildings are transparent and use natural shapes, materials and transition zones. Thus, the user experience is enhanced by the presence of nature. Within this project, the focus on biophilic architecture is therefore strong and the design is based on prior research. This is to create an appropriate design within which architecture, greenery and archaeology come together.
