Let's break it up! - LAND's installation at the Triennale

The revolution of Piazzale Loreto has begun: on the occasion of the Supersalone and Milan Design Week 2021, Ceetrus-Nhood, one of the leading players in the Italian real estate industry specialising in urban regeneration projects, winner of the redevelopment of Piazzale Loreto in Milan with the LOC – Loreto Open Community project, together with its partner Arcadis and under the patronage of the Municipality of Milan, Milan Design Week and Bella Estate, presented the installation Let’s Break It Up! – an installation of 16 Quercus Palustris trees realised by LAND that anticipates the Sky Forest that will populate the LOC – Loreto Open Community project tomorrow. The installation will be open until 12 September in the square before the Triennale Milano.

Andreas Kipar declares: “LOC is an urban project capable of both regenerating social relations within the neighbourhood and establishing a new relationship with the soil and urban nature. The green components of the project assume a structural function that can generate, together with the architecture, a new urban landscape. The way of conceiving cities has radically changed, and green has a decisive role in building landscape stories capable of regenerating entire communities and territories through reconnection with nature.The goal is to recover sociality, promote the presence of green as a safe haven and devise a new model of development based on social welfare and environmental quality. The installation “Let’s Break it Up”, showing 16 oaks that will be part of the Sky Forest, the green heart of Loreto, brings these concepts to the Triennale to make visitors conscious of the importance of green in the city in all its meanings and, at the same time, to give a strong message of breaking the mould and the necessary paradigm shift towards the ecological transition where nature comes first, free to reconquest its vital space!”
