Synopsis

Terrarium collects research and reflections on the relationship between space, soil, vegetation and the biotic community, linked through the metaphor of the terrarium. The book is curated by a research group from the Ph.D. program “Architectural Urban Interior Design”, coordinated by Alessandro Rocca (Department of Architecture and Urban Studies at Politecnico di Milano), involved in the PRIN Sylva by the IUAV research unit.
