Library of Trees

Creation of new green areas, Other

- creating a system of connections between the different urban realities surrounding the area: residences, offices and services, which will be strengthened both by the new centrality of the park and by the network of paths that link the edges in a timely and direct way, linking the Differences Altimeters of contoured areas, with altitudes up to 6 meters between the plane and the over-tunnel; - to ensure the multiplicity of features that make the area attractive, in particular by diversifying the types of enjoyment: cultural, leisure and meeting, also in connection with the buildings in the park; - to enhance the botanical characterisation of the park, which in the "Tree Library" suggests a modern interpretation of the botanical garden, emphasising the cultural aspect linked to mythological history and poetic expression (4).

Trees will be organised in a series of circles, distributed throughout the site, which together form the Library of Trees named after the park. Each tree in the collection is presented in an open or finished circle, each circle named and indicated by the letters written on the paths that cross it. Since each circle is made up of a specific tree, the different species are met in an extraordinarily intensified manner: with the characteristics and qualities multiplied by their number, the trees will wrap the visitor with their smell, color, movement, sound, shape and structure. And their presence will become more intense as time passes. While the trees in most of the forests will be pruned to free their trunk from the lower branches, Circular Forests will make habitable 'living rooms', spaces available to the public. Trees create a roof that offers shade and protection, changing color and mass throughout the year, while the fallen leaves will form an inviting carpet on which to walk. Here you will be able to practice yoga or Tai Chi, rest, read, talk or make a picnic in the shade, organise meetings or seminars during the day, or performances in the cool evening. The park will be a landscaped garden, offering not only a variety of landscape experiences and sensations, but also offers an efficient open air space for leisure, sporting activities and events. The paths, fields and forests of the park form a very varied public space, capable of hosting cultural, commercial and recreational programs: from outdoor pitches or theatres to play areas and sports fields, terraces and lounges and picnic areas, from galleries to art galleries, from concert halls to conference spaces, to ideal environments for those who love plants (6).
