Aflevering #14 Alberto Mattiello About Outdoor Design

Fascinating to hear the mindset of Alberto Matiello from The Placemakers! He represents internationally leading brands like Metalco, CityDesign and Bellitalia in outdoor design, who realize great projects in public spaces worldwide.   The Placemakers is a group that approaches the world of outdoor design with a completely different philosophy. They no longer want to be seen as a catalog full of beautiful products. But make the move towards a purpose-driven group, focused on the making of places for sociality & connection in the outdoors. Okay why do they do that? And how? You hear that in the Podcast.   We discuss a range of valuable, new concepts that sprout from that new way of thinking. Concepts like SUPER VERDE, URBAN MIRROR, Eitherland, CARING ISLAND and My Equilibria. We talk about them and you can take a look by clicking the links in the Podcast app. Get inspired….   We also exchange ideas about the mindset changes we experience through Covid times. Concepts like Nomadism, working in the outdoors and the scientific research of Andea Bariselli about the benefits of connecting to nature are reviewed.   What does this mean for cities? How should cities respond to stay attractive or become more attractive? I'll tell you, there's work to be done ;)   I hope you get a lot of inspiration by this Podcast. I surely did, thank you very much Alberto!   And it was great to record this episode in English, lovely step into exchanging ideas about urban revitalization and development internationally…   Radiant greetings, Sandra
