CASALGRANDE PADANA AT MIPIM 2009

From 10th to 13th MARCH 2009, Casalgrande Padana will be on show at the 20th MIPIM (LEVEL 01, stand 04.33) with:

“corvino+multari”
"Vesuvius"

URBAN RENOVATION PLAN in SOCCAVO TRAIANO (NA)

Casalgrande Padana’s aim is to provide tools able to put the project into effect and to back the formal and technological aspects by proposing porcelain stoneware materials.

In collaboration with corvino+multari, the prestigious studio of architecture, Casalgrande Padana has explicitly created a palette of green shades for Vesuvius in 30x120 cm porcelain stoneware slabs that reduce the visual and environmental impact to the minimum:.... “Green is an essential element, one on which the new strategy of the project area is based. It’s the element that provides a framework for the conversion process. The new landscape springs from the actual location and will also develop from the elements that form its essence: land and water…

 

The purpose is to get the very most out of the area and to nurture in the onlooker the sensation of being in a place that has been “won back” from Nature, where traces of farmland blend with the new urban structure...”
