New Headquarters of the Sicily Region

International competition


The proposal for the new  administrative center of the Sicilian Region revolves around a territorial dimension. The core of the complex is the Garden of Sicilian Landscapes, a primordial Pangea of the region’s territories, an attempt to synthesize the rich biodiversity of Sicily within acourtyard. This large botanical garden operates with the triple function of service to the city, oasis for the local workers, and point of attraction for visitors.
