Using plant to boost urban regeneration
The project explores innovative practices, focusing on adaptation and mitigation while respecting the environment and public health. It brings together various components: the historical heritage, diverse social activities, functions that will inhabit this new part of the city, nature, and human labor, all with the goal of generating dynamics typical of a complex urban landscape. Plants and natural systems are central to bringing benefits to the area and reducing its impacts, extending beyond traditional green spaces like parks, avenues, gardens, and rooftops.
In various buildings across the complex, the Fabbrica dell’Aria acts as an innovative green infrastructure, harnessing plants and soil to meet residents’ health needs by purifying indoor air and filtering atmospheric contaminants. Adapted to each unique setting, this solution is integrated throughout the project, fulfilling specific roles within each space.
