Center of Biodiversity in the Regional Natural Park of Maremma

Inside the Maremma Regional Park was designed a Centre for Biodiversity necessary for the protection of animal life otherwise doomed to extinction due to the expansion of the areas controlled less and less humanized. The Center of Biodiversity consists mainly of a large botanical garden of about 50,000 square meters, divided by type of plant species characteristic of the Maremma and three structures to be built, designed to accommodate the Butterfly House and the Center of bats, as well as a necessary roadhouse and its visitor parking.

The need to intervene in an area of high environmental profile has guided the choice to use materials but also systems for building low impact and if necessary they could be removed, creating a new configuration to the places concerned in accordance with the existing natural habitat. Therefore, in the elaboration of the project was carried out in the study of laminated wood structures produced in the factory and then assembled on site, the type balloon frame, through the use of metallic junction preprinted. The predominant curved lines of the new buildings, together with a careful selection of materials, structures fit into the natural environment without compromising the continuity fulfilling to scientific purposes and, most significant, spreading the taste for the study of biodiversity.
