Park Associati participates in the exhibition “X * I = CCL dieci architetti per Vanvitelli” promoted by the Consiglio dell’Ordine degli Architetti PPC della Provincia di Caserta and the Commissione Cultura, on the occasion of the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the death of Luigi Vanvitelli. The exhibition displays panels inspired by the figure of the Master and his work, with particular attention to the relationship between architecture and nature and the importance of water as a compositional element.

Park Associati participates with “Between nature and Architecture”, a panel created by Marianna Merisi, Landscape Director of Park Associati. "To design a landscape, one must know, appreciate, and persuade Nature, never thinking of taming it."

Matteo Arietti, Head of Research at Park Associati, has been invited by ARUP London to join a private lecture alongside Laura Wagner, Associate at 3XN/GXN. They will be delving into the realm of Adaptive Reuse, one of Park Plus’ key topics. Matteo will shine a spotlight on Park's groundbreaking research on Urban Mining, with insights into MI.C., an innovative urban regeneration project next to Milano Centrale. Urban Mining entails the vital process of salvaging and repurposing materials from urban environments, be it from buildings, infrastructure, or outdated consumer products. This approach not only addresses waste management but also champions architecture's role in fostering a sustainable future through the principles of a circular economy.
