1 FLOOD CONTROL PARK - Pollution control (reduction of the pollution load discharged into Lambro River) - Flood prevention (storage of rainwater and regulation of flow discharge to the river) - Recreational use (use of the park by the local population) - Biodiversity or wildlife support (provide habitats for birds, macro invertebrates or amphibians species...).
2 ECO - DISTRICT - Free up ground floor as community space - Family joins community of Quatiere Ponte Lambro - Agricultural land for family - C i r c u l a r E c o n o my : Z e r o Wa s t e Restaurant
3 REGEN VILLAGE - Totally self-sufficient, off-grid, techintegrated residential real estate development - Vertical farming system reduces the footprint - Circular Economy : Zero community
4 CASCINA BOSCANA - Sell harvested crops to the city / to the organic market / during events - community harvest crops for district agriculture system / events - Educational, research - Harvested crops used for zero waste restaurant farmers lease a portion of their cascina as space for research

RE-STORYING LANDSCAPE
Forest Pavilion
Resting Stop
The intangible qualities of spaces often go ignored or unrecorded, and yet unseen elements of the vineyard landscape, such as stories, techniques of production and cultivation, sound, smell and terroir often provide the most effective mechanism to remember and establish a sense of place as natural and cultural landscape.

RE-STORYING VITICULTURE
Above & Beyond Pavilion
A
RESTORING MEMORY
Train Pavilion
Based on this, our pavilions focus on unveiling the "hidden" elements on the site. By involving in the viewers and visiters, these installations are playing a role as the intersection between human and nature.
19
RESTORING MEMORY
This pavilion seeks to restrory the presence of a trainline on the site, which over time was unused and got modified to a narrow pathway for bicycles. It is on purpose to place at the end of the pathway so that people take a detour from the beginning to commemorate the presence of the trainline. The railing begins from ground level as train tracks guiding visitors and folds itself to become the railing of the staircase that leads you up at elevation overlooking the fields and recompassing present with the past.

B-2
RE-STORYING VITICULTURE
The pavilion represents the typology of growth in vine plants in response to the terroir, the kind of soil it grown in. One pavillion depicts the bushy healthy leaves by lawn pavement, while the other depicts the fruitful nature of the plant. The pavillion consists of rammed earth walls vertically standing to create a volume. The interlocking of the old vine branches irepresent the depth of the vine roots which contemplates the texture of the wall. As its said the roots of vine plants grow deep down depending on the texture of the soil.

WEATHERING WITH TIME
D
As it breaks the tree-line, the pavilion dissolves the entrance of the pavilion, while also framing views of the surounding hidden green and blue texture of the site. This pavillio is an attempt to unveil the hidden process of champagne and wine making. During the process the bottles are preserved at a tilt angle, which is the major inspiration of this pavillion. Every f loor of this pavilion has windows framing a particular texture of nature. The use of wooden panels, open to sky roof in an attempt to weather with time just as how the wine changes its taste with time.
F
22
UNDERSTAND THE UNSEEN
The pavillion comprehends the importance of the connection between terroir and roots of the plant itself. It attempts to engage the individual with both interior and exterior space and as a meeting point in fostering exchanges that may be self-conscious or quite incidental, in the thematic concept of nature’s fragility. The columns represent the abstraction of the roots that connects with the outer nature and the inner soil. Some introduce the natural light inside the pavilion.
