/ Symbiosis Masterplan

Located in the southern quadrant of Milan, adjacent to Fondazione Prada, the Symbiosis district represents a strategic and large-scale intervention in urban regeneration. The masterplan covers over 125,000 square metres and is structured around a central, pedestrian-oriented green spine approximately 1.3 kilometres long. This linear green spatial system serves both as green infrastructural backbone and social condenser: a continuous urban park integrating plazas, bike lanes and slow mobility paths. The layout enhances walkability and permeability, while redefining the thresholds between private buildings and the public realm.

At the heart of this public space system lies Piazza Adriano Olivetti, framed by mixed-use buildings and designed to host gatherings, informal socializing and cultural events. The public space is conceived as a central design element: native plants, bioswales and permeable surfaces establish a new ecological narrative, while street furniture and integrated lighting define a consistent identity.
