STUDIO
GREENCURE landscape & healing gardens is a laboratory that focuses on green experimentation, scientific research, and development, looking at the environment in which we live according to a holistic vision.
PROFILE
Born in 2014 in the heart of the Maggiolina dsitrict, in Milan GREENCURE is shaped by the idea that, for the architecture of gardens, the passing of time is not synonymous with ruin or decay, as it is for other types of architecture, but with enjoyment.
Since the dawn of time, men have been looking for spaces in which to regenerate. Therefore, it is not necessary to think of something new, but to revive something ancient so that architecture can return to be a channel of communication between people and the place that surrounds them, the tool to ensure a form of ‘poetic living’.
The design of therapeutic and healing gardens gave birth to the interdisciplinary team of GREENCURE. It is an international endeavor that collaborates in a dialogical and synergistic relationship with world-renowned studios, among them MCA – Mario Cucinella Architects, Gianluca Peluffo & Partners, Rudy Ricciotti, MAD Architects, Milan Ingegneria, BMS Progetti S.r.l., Park Associati, Bolles+Wilson Architects, Alvisi Kirimoto Architects, ETS S.p.A., Consorzio Mythos, Design International. ETS S.p.A., Consorzio Mythos, Design International and more
There is no CARE in a place without CULTURE and CULTIVATION.
The name GREENCURE contains the sense of an awaited project, a curative design, a place of culture and well-being, with a vision that looks at the future in order to improve the present. Gardens, historically identified as the “Abode of the Gods”, are a trusted ally against the evils of the modern era. They help cultivate beauty, a sense of care, and mutual respect, within a society in constant becoming.
Every place, like every person, expresses its energy. As the geomancer or the dowser sense vibrations and channel them for a purpose, or as the acupuncturist stimulates certain points of the body to restore balance, the landscape architect must be able to identify the strategic places of the body-city, the “meridians of the territory”, which release energy to take care of the places in which we live.
The ambition is to show how green spaces, even in a small size, are a source of inspiration, harmony, and lightness.
