Abstract:

“Costantinopoli” quarry is located in the hearth of “Vallo di Diano” in the Province of Salerno. The reuse of abandoned quarries in the “Vallo di Diano” is aimed to define a number of small “environmentally friendly” projects in order to counterbalance the current environmental impact.

The project provides a “new green economy” through the development of abio-agriculture, abio- factoryand aeco-sustainable researchand combines ecology, horticulture, science, art, architecture and traditions of “Vallo di Diano”.

The scheme is composed by five areas:the Greenhouse,the Visitors Centre,the Lake,the Tensile Structureandthe Outdoor Biome. It is aimed to educate visitors about the importance of a sustainable environment through the study of plants and sustainable strategies. The solution were inspired by looking through nature, fractal geometry and the landscapes of the site.
