On March 26, 2010 our class went to the exhibition "Green Life" at the Triennale di Milano. It
an exhibition to the public of potential "engines of change": young people with the desire to be world citizens, professionals, planners, engineers or entrepreneurs with a vision sensitive to the preservation of our environment.
An exhibition is also able to talk to ordinary people seeking solutions to do just an eco-friendly lifestyle.
A show that knows how to encourage planners and designers of today, producers of innovative materials and systems, the private and public customers, policy makers, places of training know-how.
With 'Green Life' is to show that we can build sustainable cities in terms of environment, by showing practical examples that can serve as a model for our country.
During the visit they were shown the various design criteria and construction of environmentally sustainable buildings by using pictures, models or samples of materials.
Among the projects presented, those who have been involved and encouraged more:
Solar City in Linz (Austria);
Museum of Natural Sciences in San Francisco, designed by Renzo Piano;
Expo 2000 in Hanover.
Linz
a Solar City Linz, the capital city of Upper Austria, has appointed Thomas Herzog to design a new urban settlement for about 25,000 inhabitants.
This new district was created making the most of solar energy through new technology and plant engineering. It was also reconsidered the life of the new community that would have stayed here, creating new spaces, inspired by a new lifestyle.

The Natural Science Museum of San Francisco
damaged by the earthquake of 1989, the museum has been redesigned by architect Renzo Piano.
The strengths of this structure lie in the materials used for construction (80% of the metal used is recycled).
to the top of the building has been adopted a system of natural insulation, made from herbs and shrubs that do not require special care.
Viewed from afar, in fact, the hallmark of the museum is a kind of grass in place of the suspended roof, a slight wave of high grassy hills about ten meters above ground, as if a strip of park was raised to cover the world of science.

Expo 2000 in Hanover
Hall for this Universal Exhibition was completed in 2000, one year and three months by Thomas Herzog.
The material used for construction lumber is made from oak taken from the Black Forest, then replaced by younger trees, thus avoiding deforestation.
The design of the roof was designed to collect rainwater, which not only used for a range of uses, is used for heat insulation.
The very few elements in wood were made from recycled materials.
