The general concept of the Palazzo Italia is that of an architectural landscape, in which the building assumes, through its very skin and volumetric distribution, the appearance of a tree-forest in which visitors can immerse themselves and live an emotional experience.Palazzo Italia:a natural architecture.

The Italian identity is interconnected with the size of the landscape.The Palazzo Italia project is an experiential story where the visitor loses himself in an architectural landscape,evocative of an “urban” forest that it completely surrounds the visitor because of the trees and volume of which it is composed.The Palazzo Italia, with its skin of branches, evocative of a natural architecture, is a metaphor of the Tree of Life.
