The Right to Nature - by Emanuele Bortolotti & Paolo Palmulli & Alessandro Frigerio (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In dialogue with other architects and committees - among others, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, BIG Bjarke Ingels Group, Stefano Boeri Architetti, Credite Agricole, Fondazione Riccardo Catella - the book underlines the importance of a shared quality of the daily urban landscape as a key quality of our contemporary cities.

The Right to Nature is a new chapter of reflection and work of the AG&P greenscape, centered on the current and renewed relationship between man and nature. Through out seven main topics - Sociality/Collectivity, Infrastructure, Inhabit, Work/Welfare, Regeneration, Care, Heritage - the book explores contemporary urban landscape issues at the different scales of the project, in the light of the relationship between human beings and nature.
