Superverde
SUPERVERDE is a modular portion of living soil that changes continuously in colors, shapes, transparencies and brightness, enhancing the elements of which it is composed: ground, roots, branches, leaves and flowers. SUPERVERDE, which can be used for always new and different landscapes, is composed of a fine edge, available in various finishes of metal, which contains all the technological equipment necessary for the maintenance of vegetation and supports the tectonic movements of the ground. The edge serves to frame – together with a metal seating system – the natural landscape, composed of different heights trees and shrubs. SUPERVERDE is mainly composed of nature that becomes the protagonist “material” of the furniture composition. The underlying structure is the load-bearing support made with metal stiffening edges and sides. Their assembly allows to, compose a different natural scenography each time, create volumes of soil for the planting of perennial, shrubs and trees, manage technologies and subservices to minimize waste and support maintenance.
“Superverde is a permeable and flexible surface, which is measured and purchased per square metre. It is designed to be assembled according to the context in which it is placed. Thanks to a system of modules, edges and hidden side structures, it allows for composing landscapes of different shapes and sizes. Thanks to a dense irrigation system and sensors for the control and analysis of the wellness and moisture of the soil, it is possible both to manage the use of water and of all resources and to guarantee the plants health.” Stefano Boeri
SUPERVERDE is a permeable and flexible surface, which is measured and purchased per “square meter”. Modular portions of green soil that increase plant and faunal biodiversity. Is designed to be assembled according to the context in which it is placed. Thanks to a system of modules, edges and hidden side structures, it allows to compose different landscapes for shape and size. SUPERVERDE is a modular system with a range of accessories and tools useful to create portions of biodiversity, that are suitable for any type of urban context (public, private or semi-private) and scale in which it can be placed. At the same time the visible scenography can be composed and redefined in according to a precise landscape project and a natural set that you want to recreate. SUPERVERDE is a “square meter” product thanks to its modularity and versatility. SUPERVERDE has been designed to be a space capable of promoting, inside the urban scale, the multiplication of biodiversity of which is composed of. The device becomes an attractive point where you can stop, rest and contemplate in contact and proximity with nature. The infrastructure and the technical and technological sub-services are designed primarily to support and facilitate ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operations, which usually take place in the presence of trees, shrubs and plants in general. It is a product that has the ambition to be as autonomous as possible, both energetically and for supplies. For example, thanks to a dense irrigation system and sensors for the control and analysis of the state of health and moisture of the soil, it is possible both to manage and optimize the use of water and of all resources and to control and ensure the health state of nature.
SUPERVERDE can encourage the creation of microclimates useful for the environmental wellness and enhance multisensory paths within a section of natural landscape, scalable and adaptable to different uses and different types of open spaces. SUPERVERDE is conceived as an ecosystem composed of various plant species, able to increase biodiversity, demineralize urban soils, decrease the “urban heat island” effect, reduce temperatures in high density areas and restore the relationship between nature and city. SUPERVERDE multiplies the natural and permeable surfaces in those “mineral” urban places where it could not be possible. SUPERVERDE is an urban furniture that, first of all, becomes a real ecosystem service both for citizens and for the animal species that could settle. For this reason, the product is also composed with special seating and benches systems that can be distributed around the perimeter of the device, to come in contact with nature, sit and lie down near the portion of biodiversity that composes the landscape of the product. SUPERVERDE shows a delimited natural scenography, enriched by a permeable vegetal cover, varied and balanced, that gathers and delimits the specific natural elements of a territory and its climate, adapting from season to season. A portion of landscape design to be installed in all those places characterized by mineral surfaces, becomes the manifesto of the new alliance between city and nature, able to bring, within the inhabited centers, a variable portion of different plant ecosystems, selected with care and attention for each different climate zone.
