Part of the urban renewal plan for “Strijp-S” – a recovery and development plan involving the area formerly belonging to the Philips electronics company, a decisive identity presence in the area – the intervention generates a new green habitat for the development of biodiversity within the metropolitan environment, a true ecosystem nourished by the coexistence of more than 70 different plant species, capable of responding simultaneously to both the challenges of climate change and housing needs.
