FOODPARK
The concept of the Food Park originates from the idea of a building immersed in an urban forest—a green screen that runs parallel to the new project road, softening the impact of the office buildings and consulting with Sauerbruch Hutton on the central green space.
A pedestrian path weaves through the greenery, offering a place to slow down, stop, drink, eat, and read. The project includes two pavilions dedicated to dining: one for a pizzeria-bar-bookshop and another for a self-service restaurant, covering a total area of around 1,000 square meters, along with outdoor landscaping spanning approximately 5,000 square meters, within the Maciachini masterplan (Milan).
This natural landmark accompanies drivers cutting across the Maciachini urban development site—a real forest that conceals or will conceal the slender, transparent pavilions, shielded by the digital design of the virtual forest.
