The study addresses the different issues with a twofold methodological approach: on the one hand, the relationship with architecture and the genius loci, in which the green system becomes an ideal unicum; on the other hand, the constant attention to environmental sustainability achieved through botanical research of essences that require low maintenance and minimal water consumption.
