Natural elements modified by man, that is "the camps", tracing the Roman Centuriation ( grid )  by redesigning the landscape of the Cesenate plain. The agricultural territory, the open space of the countryside cultivated and transformed over time, becomes the inspiration for the geometry of the project that arises from the folds of the ground, from the geometric embroidery of the rows of trees that become architecture of volumes. The building penetrates the ground creating artificial hills and extends over the horizontal surface.

The "Factory of Wonder" becomes a place of connection with the surrounding territory, transformed into an educational agricultural park where the raw material "the Earth" and its fruits are celebrated, and where architecture is integrated and becomes part of the landscape without distorting it but giving it back to the city, reinterpreted as an agricultural fabric.
A modern agricultural greenhouse where the workplace in the fields becomes the home of the new collective habitat that unites man to the environment in which he operates. The axes-strings become two-dimensional wings that measure the spaces of the work, a repeatable and flexible module where spaces with large heights and different sizes can be created, constantly relating to natural light from the top and a direct link with the greenery outside. 
The agricultural park assumes a unique value with the architecture, allowing it to be perceived as a single continuous surface, accentuated by the movement of the ground, contour lines, that allow to reduce the presence of parking spaces.
