How to continue to benefit from the great masterpieces of the past without leaving any pollutant trace? This is the big question posed by Gianluca Cristoni’s Fondazione Biohabitat together with Latifolia, Fima Caro Frattini, Battiloro Handpan and Serralunga in a project by Davide Vercelli that questions a new dimension of water, also raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity, while spreading the culture of green throughout the city, which has always been the Fondazione’s mission...

On the theme of green combined with design, “AquaSymphony. Discover the Sound of water” presented by the Fondazione Biohabitat: a pouring installation recreating the magic sounds of the  most-hidden pluvial forests.

How to continue to benefit from the great masterpieces of the past without leaving any pollutant trace? This is the big question posed by Gianluca Cristoni’s Fondazione Biohabitat together with Latifolia, Fima Caro Frattini, Battiloro Handpan and Serralunga in a project by Davide Vercelli that questions a new dimension of water, also raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity, while spreading the culture of green throughout the city, which has always been the Fondazione’s mission. A show of rare and unusual tropical plants to our latitudes, design elements immersed in a background music where flowing water echoes a lush forest of Sterlizia, banana trees and Jucca. The path ends up into two wet areas: two Soffioni Melograno, rightly modified, emit heavy rain on two handpans, so creating a sound-hypnotic carpet. Disseminated along the path are the masterpieces by Zaha Hadid, Philippe Starck, Jean-Marie Massaud, Rodolfo Dordoni, and more, made with second-life materials: through a rotational moulding process, Fondazione Biohabitat creates polietilene objects (LLDPE) resistant to thermal shocks, from -35 °C to +80 °C, and atmospheric agents, impacts and U.V. rays. At the end of their life, they turn in plastic powder to infuse new life into other objects in the optic of a "virtuous circular economy".
