Colossal Green Volcano Building Rises in Italy
Renzo Piano's supermassive Vulcano Buono has risen just a stone's throw away from Mt. Vesuvius in Italy, and the completed structure is simply stunning. Inspired by the surrounding landscape Piano's "good volcano" has a gently sloping profile that rises from the earth as a grassy green knoll. The structures roof is carpeted with a vegetative layer of over 2,500 plants that helps to insulate the interior spaces and reduces the buildings visual impact so that it’s barely visible from space.
