LIST OF PROJECTS



BOTH - AND

Milano, Italia, 2020.

"Sprouting Minds" Competition. Redesigning Isola Pepe Verde’s garden in Milan Italy.
Milano, Italia

The project is conceived as a superposition of two different realities: the territory of the city and the landscape of imagination. The former creates the base, presenting an infinite number of possibilities. It is an abstract outline of the space and does not have a specific content.

Then, the second reality fills this void and gives the site an ever-changing narrative. It is a materialisation of innovative ideas and the theories of philosophers and researchers of the 20th century who focused on children’s education and their development. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life, as quoted in the movie Stalker (Tarkovsky), and this idea is expressed in the site both in the material and fictional fields.


The overlapping of the two schemes is carried out for two reasons. First, strong importance is given to the concept and development process of the project. Second, we were searching for the unique characterisation — the aura — of the project in its place and time, in this period of overproduction and reproduction.

The new area becomes a bundle of places within a single space, each of them articulated yet autonomous, constantly metamorphosing the capacities of the whole park. We were very attentive to the potentialities of associative meaningscarried by the objects and surfaces in their ever-changing interaction, and so our proposal is suspended in a condition of unknowability — almost unfinished — due to the infinite ways in which it can develop.

The programs and site character are distorted, ambiguous, inconsistent; the new area is the embodiment of a messy vitalityover obvious unity, and of richness of meaning rather than clarity. The layer of the territory of the city overlaps with the landscape of imagination, thus creating a new reality that extends beyond the limits of the park to involve its immediate context.
