Where Nature Takes Root and Architecture Reconnects

Roots and Roofs is an urban regeneration proposal developed for a two-phase design competition in Prati di Caprara, Bologna. Set within a landscape shaped by decades of abandonment and spontaneous ecological growth, the project reimagines the relationship between architecture, nature, and the city. Rather than treating the site as an empty space awaiting development, the proposal embraces its existing identity, transforming urban isolation into an opportunity for ecological preservation, social connection, and meaningful architectural intervention.

Through a balanced approach to preservation and transformation, the project introduces strategic architectural interventions, accessible public spaces, and sensitive landscape enhancements. By reconnecting fragmented urban areas while safeguarding the site's ecological richness, Roots and Roofs envisions a resilient urban environment where architecture and nature coexist, allowing the landscape and its communities to evolve together.
