The concept of BIOMURO
lays its roots in the big structure walls built on motorways
as noise and smog barriers. They are built for practical purposes
but they become interesting also from an aesthetic point of
view.
BIOMURO
takes a step forward towards aesthetics:
what makes BIOMURO
different are the careful choice of the filling materials and
the dimension of the object: specially manufactured clay clods,
selected discarded refractory materials, flowers and endemic
plants, terracotta bird nests give value to the object. The
size of the structure is reduced to human scale: it fits in
a garden, on a terrace.

Another important inspiration to BIOMURO
are the herbs and mosses that grow free on old brick walls,
on top of ancient towers, in the cracks of stone pavements.
This vegetation is usually considered an enemy by the architects:
it destroys the structure and attracts humidity.
BIOMURO
is a sort of "extreme garden" where mosses, wild plants
and common weeds find a way of expression and they design poetic
paths on the iron and terracotta structure. Common vegetation
becomes fascinating when let free to explore the surroundings.
