Corriere della Sera has published an article on the occasion of International LEGO Day, Wednesday 28 January, announcing the creation inside Legoland Water Park Gardaland of a 15,000-square-meter area that includes Miniland, where Italy takes shape through more than 100 reproductions of cities and monuments, including Milan’s Bosco Verticale.
From the Colosseum to the Trevi Fountain, from Milan Cathedral to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, from Florence Cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore) to Venice with St. Mark’s Square, the Campanile, and the Basilica—these are the monuments presented alongside the Bosco Verticale, using 4.9 million LEGO bricks transformed into hundreds of models animated by scenic effects, movements, and interactions, and enriched with scenes of everyday urban life that make the experience immersive.
The Bosco Verticale, designed by Boeri Studio (Boeri, Barreca, La Varra) and inaugurated in 2014, represents the prototype of a new model of architectural biodiversity that places at its center not only human beings but also the relationship between humans and other living species. From a stylistic point of view, the project was conceived as an architecture “on the scale of a tree,” in which human beings are discreet guests—a “home for trees and birds that also hosts people”—shifting the focus from the concept of sustainability to that of integration with living nature in all its forms.
