1. PRELUDE AND DIAGNOSIS
“WE MUST FIRST DEBUNK THE MYTH, WIDELY BEARED OUT, OF THE RICHNESS OF THE ITALIAN TERRITORY. ITALY IS UNDOUBTEDLY A FACINATING COUNTRY FOR THE BEAUTY AND THE PICTURESQUE ASPECT OF ITS VIEWS, BUT IT IS NOT A RICH LAND. ONLY THE 20 PERCENT OF THE NATIONAL TERRITORY IS MADE OF FERTILE VALLEYS, GOOD SOIL THAT ALLOWS A HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE AND EFFICIENT AGRICULTURE; 40 PERCENT OF THE TERRITORY IS MADE OF HILLS, AND THE REMAINING 40 PERCENT IS MOUNTAINS. SUCH EVALUATIONS ARE CAPABLE OF GIVING THE IDEA OF THE POVERTY OF ITALY IN TERMS OF AGRICULTURE”
Federico Chabod, L’Italia contemporanea (1918-1948), Einaudi 1961
2. THERAPY
THE GOAL IS TO REALIZE VERTICAL AND HIGH RISE CULTIVATED BUILDINGS, CAPABLE OF FREEING THE VERY SURROUNDING TERRITORIES FROM AGRICULTURE. THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF WIDESPREAD FORESTS IS THUS ALLOWED, FOLLOWING THE SAME DYNAMICS OF SPECULATION THAT CAUSED THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING SKYSCRAPER.
3. DOSAGE
EVERY BUILT UNIT CAN STORE UP TO 40 HA OF CULTIVATED LAND, EQUAL TO 99 ACRES OF TERRITORY. A HIGHLY EFFICIENT SYSTEM IS GENERATED BOTH BY THE BUILDING OF A GREEN SKYSCRAPER AND BY A NATURAL POWER PLANT OF FREE OXYGEN, THE NEWBORN FOREST.
