Porta Nuova: MIPIM Awards 2018, Best Urban Regeneration Project

We are honored to be among the winners of MIPIM Awards 2018 - Best Urban Regeneration Project with Porta Nuova, Milan!

Porta Nuova, with the landscape design by LAND, is among the most relevant urban transformations in Europe and a model worldwide.

Our landscape design for Porta Nuova combines permeability and density, mediating the scale of the city and the scale of people.

Starting in 2005 with Porta Nuova Garibaldi, Varesine and Isola, our commitment today continues with the projects Porta Nuova Bonnet and Porta Nuova Gioia. We strive for improving day by day the quality of life for the people who live in the city, through a conscious use of the resources, the increase of biodiversity, the creation of new livable spaces for the society of today and tomorrow.

We make space for people! We put LANDscape first!

Lura retention basins: work in progress!

Milan’s metropolitan region is affected by several flooding during heavy rain events. Among several measures planned by the regional government there is a wide retention area that has been planned as a flood control device.

Our project consists of the implementation of two rolling basins connected by an open air ditch and a pond filled with ground water.

The aim of the project is that the basins will be temporarily flooded by Lura river during intense rainy periods through natural inlet from the river bed.

A new green square for Naples

The San Pasquale subway stop in Naples is open!

The project by Boris Podrecca with LAND, develops green areas on the San Pasquale station square, a large stone-paved surface. Green is covering the roof of the station with a variation of new tree-planted patches and existing palm trees. The proposed solution consists of green island sorrounded by benches. The green islands are a sort of extrusion of paving design, following the swaying lines that evoke the sea and modelling in their shape the seats. The different elements are composed of a modular system to optimize the production.

News from Montreal

We are one of the 3 finalist teams for the Multidisciplinary Landscape Architecture Competition “Creating a biodiversity corridor in Saint-Laurent”, with Table Architecture, civiliti  and Biodiversité Conseil. 

The Masterplan for the Biodiversity Corridor in Saint-Lauren was developed to foster the regeneration of an environmentally-poor urban district through the creation of a green, blue and social infrastructure.

The result is a masterplan that will structure the area not only in formal terms but above all in functional terms, by modifying urban metabolism virtuously, positively affecting ecological, hydraulic and social functions.

AREXPO: A new green infrastructure for metropolitan Milan

As officially announced yesterday during the press conference at Cascina Triulza, the Expo 2015 site will find new life thanks to the Urban Regeneration Masterplan developed by the consortium led by Lendlease, of which international landscape architecture studio LAND is a member.

The project proposal envisages the creation of a large 460,000-square-metre theme park, which is respectful of the original setting of the site yet innovative in its character of resilience, capable of generating wellbeing and quality in order to restore a balance between anthropic space and natural space, enhancing the area and increasing the sense of wellness of the people who live there, since - as Andreas Kipar states - “a society’s wellbeing is mirrored in the standards with which it creates and cares for its public spaces”.

Be the change you want to see

Step by step Milan is becoming the city that it wants to be in the future. With the project of Porta Nuova we’ve been working hard for 13 years, challenging ourselves with increasing urbanization, climate change and a new social mosaic. Our “learn by doing” approach brought us to a new standard for a connected and inclusive urban space dedicated to people and able to bring innovation: a green and social infrastructure.

Therefore, looking forward from this achievement, Gioia 22 doesn’t only give people new places, it also offers the right location to do the right thing: such as a little wood to read or think, a place to study, a cycle path or a promenade to have a walk, and social gatherings to meet people, to work or to learn something new.
