milan expo 2015 - conceptual masterplan - feeding the planet, energy for life

the conceptual masterplan for the milan world exposition 2015 it is the challenging project dedicated to the theme 'feeding the planet, energy for life'. five architects (stefano boeri, richard burdett, mark rylander, jacques herzog and william mcdonough) illustrated the development, stylistic lines and creative principles that will shape the area where the expo is to be held.the expo they envisioned will be a planetary botanical garden open to the citizens of milan and the world. a place for a fresh encounter between farming and the city that will feed milan literally, spiritually and intellectually. a vast agrofood park built on an orthogonal grid, surrounded by water ways and punctuated by striking landscape architecture.
