As part of the International Symposium City 'Scape: City_Energy & Tourism Landscape, which took place in the Hall of Honor of the Milan Triennale on July 11 and 12, the City 'Scape: City_Energy & Tourism Landscape Award was presented. Award that aims to attract international design excellence in the field of Landscape Architecture and relations with the urbanized space in order to enhance the best design solutions in the future development of landscape design by pursuing objectives of biodiversity, sustainability, resilience and adaptation to climate change.
We report the motivation: "History and contemporaneity chase each other in an urban theater returned to Parma: architecture and its grammar represent the narrative while nature acts as counterpoint. This is Piazza della Pace, by the architectural firm EFA, a work that identifies a part of the city in search of its own renewed identity by promoting a spatial reading of enhancement and redevelopment of the existing. A new landscape that invites permanence, socialization, facilitating the connection between strategic places: the square elected as a hinge between the historic city and the main urban nodes that characterize it, a place where history, architecture, culture come together in a daily dimension of community and sense of belonging."
