Piazze Botaniche – Montessori

The new Piazza Montessori creates a “lava garden” punctuated by furnishings, equipment and archaeological finds (the ancient aqueduct). The strategy is focused on the restyling of the flooring organised into gently sloping surfaces defining  an artificial landscape, a set of bands equipped for greenery, a shaded area, seats, lighting, ventilation of the parking lot below.

These narrow stripes (the sciare as is called the lava landscape) reshape to the void (the bands), that becomes simultaneously  garden and square.
