Nature Based Solutions: hybrid infrastructures for 21st century cities, with an interview with Marcello Corradi and Lorenzo Bertolotto of De Urbanisten, the cases of Copenhagen and that of Barcelona. Without forgetting the experience of Friederick L. Olmsted, the precursor, with the Boston Fens and Riverway project at the end of the 19th century, of all today’s green infrastructure projects.

Three very different cases of architecture projects for art and culture: the new Istanbul Modern by Renzo Piano, the Palazzo Senza Tempo by Mario Cucinella in Peccioli and the floating pavilion by Studio Ossidiana in Almere.

For the ‘Italian Architects’ series Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi presents Tomas Ghisellini (pages 118-125)

Among the archiworks we publish the Tetra Pak research center by Zpz Partners; the 5 Squares social housing in Milan which in the architectural project by Barreca & la Varra repurposes an unfinished and abandoned office complex to transform it into affordable residences; a residence on Lake Mergozzo in Piedmont by architect Elena Bertinotti and the intervention by Coima Image on one of the urban villas of the Milano Porta Nuova development, transformed into offices for the Italian headquarters of Adyen.

For Le Storie, Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi writes about Edoardo Gellner, with illustrations by Roberto Malfatti
