This proposal for Milan envisions a covered park: a sheltered plaza blending nature and technology, filling a gap in the city’s rich tapestry of public spaces. It’s a place to meet, play, and explore, even in adverse weather. The project merges the utility of architecture with the wonder of landscape, offering a transformative urban experience.
At its core, this “mid-door” space mediates between indoors and outdoors. Shaded, permeable, and climate-responsive, it redefines the boundary between human comfort and environmental engagement. Cooling breezes in summer and protection from wind and rain in winter ensure year-round use. Species native to Lombardy thrive here, creating a natural refuge integrated into the city’s ecosystem.
This isn’t just a building or park; it’s a strategy to redefine urban living—reducing heat islands, enhancing social connections, and fostering cultural vitality. A sustainable landmark, the project reinvents public space for a climate-conscious future, offering a model for cities to reconnect with nature and community.
