This civic park in Bologna, Italy, critiques the trend towards homogenized urbanization, where the proliferation of glass and steel skyscrapers is often mistaken for a sign of a city’s modernity.

The project posits that architectural entities, much like living creatures, should not fear the manifestation of age. It argues for a cultural shift that values the elegance of aging, advocating for it to be recognized and celebrated. This design proposal represents a call to acknowledge and appreciate the elegance in the natural aging process of our surroundings, challenging the conventional wisdom that newer is always better.
