The showroom was transformed into a green-filled escape where design and nature beautifully intertwined.Ĭoexistence: Key projects embodied the essence of rewilding by counteracting the human attitude of dominance over other species, instead looking to collaborate with nature.

Dark circles on the ground represent humanity’s CO2 footprint and can be compared starkly to clear bubbles representing a tree’s captured carbon. In Brera Botanical Garden, the installation Natural Capital by Carlo Ratti Associati in collaboration with the University of Milan seeks to make CO2 visibly tangible. Shrubs filled the place of empty fair stands, creating a calm, reflective oasis between exhibits.

This movement has roots in the 1990s, especially evident in architecture and urban planning, seen in Milan’s iconic Bosco Verticale completed in 2014. Rewilding goes beyond sustainable ambitions to maintain the status quo it means repairing damaged ecosystems, restoring and protecting the Earth.
