Wild Center | Tommaso Secchi

The complex is designed within an area of outstanding beauty where the only director is represented by Nature. Designing in this region where the man has a very limited presence and without being able to interact with the environment, it seems a contradiction to build anything. In order to observe this, the project takes its origin from a concept of Land art, to better integrate the architecture with the surrounding landscape. The material at the base of the project is the reed, an element that is present all over the world, grown in large quantities and at very low cost. Thanks to specific joints using ropes you can merge the entire structure. The reeds will be connected through the interweaving of every single element covering the whole project. The building fits perfectly with the colors and materials of the environment respecting Nature through the use of this rough material. The perception of the interior will make a very strong relationship with Nature, giving the feeling of being in a large natural shelter. The area chosen for the project is located near the border of the park, to be easily reached by tourists, because it is located close to a road connection. The presence of nearby water will facilitate each service.
