O+A Ori Arienti’s project for the “Silk Road Map” competition, which won second place ex aequo, is on display at the “High Design High Technology Italians” Architecture Exhibition, organised by OICE at the World Trade Center in Shanghai, as part of EXPO 2010. O+A’s project, which was inspired by these objectives and by the specific theme of the competition (the actualisation of the imagery linked to the ancient Silk Road), proposes a model of sustainable landscape, based on local specificities and energy self-sufficiency, where environment, production systems and architecture are conceived as an inseparable unicum: a ‘landscape of the future’ capable of configuring a new balance between man and nature. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, Maurizio Ori represented O+A at the World Trade Center in Shanghai, illustrating the project to visitors, meeting with professionals and operators in the sector, and participating in the debates organised on the sidelines of the EXPO.
