Viridis Ratio

Brescia, Italy
Urban Masterplan / Ecological & Cultural Corridor
8 km (linear)
2023 

The Viridis Ratio masterplan proposes an 8-kilometer ecological and cultural corridor encircling Brescia, aimed at reconnecting fragmented urban areas through an integrated network of greenways, parks, and dedicated pedestrian and cycling routes. Rooted in the local context, the design revitalizes underutilized spaces by incorporating natural elements such as native stone and regional vegetation, establishing a continuous and inviting landscape.

The corridor integrates innovative strategies for noise mitigation, lighting control, and energy efficiency to enhance environmental comfort and sustainability. Intelligent infrastructure facilitates fluid mobility and universal accessibility, effectively linking heritage landmarks, urban centers, and emerging community spaces. By harmonizing ecological restoration with cultural engagement, the project cultivates vibrant, resilient neighborhoods and transforms infrastructural barriers into accessible, multifunctional public environments.
