Alce Nero Centre in Bologna

Project for the Alce Nero Centre in San Lazzaro di Savena, Bologna, Italy. Alce Nero is a brand of more than a thousand organic farmers, beekeepers and processors who have, since the 1970s, striven both within Italy and farther afield to produce food that comes from agriculture that respects the land.

This new project aims at:

• building business opportunities while enhancing healthy communities;

• creating common spaces and green areas for resilient work and living;

• sharing environmental and social awareness by innovative partnership;

• providing a buffer to city stress offering leisure and smart mobility solutions.

3 round shaped buildings of 2.200 sqm for local services, placed along a new side-river park connecting the city centre to the railway station: more than 17.000 sqm of natural and green areas serving the highly dense urban surroundings in a regenerating and immersive way.
