Limestone terraces and Mediterranean vegetation: the project takes inspiration from the natural matrix of the area.
The layout of the power station is designed by the orography, the limestone terraces that rise from Marina Grande become retaining walls or buildings, while the vegetation occupies spontaneously the voids and mitigates the volumes by minimizing the visual impact.
Geometries and colors are taken from the site and are reinterpreted in materials and details, to keep the same richness and vibration of light.
