beginning from the basis of the natural, ‘canpo 01’, designed by alessandro bellini in collaboration with his students, seeks to weave natural elements with its proximity to the city. by employing a rectangular prism shape the structure physically frames the po river while its roughhewn exterior finished in dark brown creates the impression of a natural extension of the ground. the swing is constructed from a finished branch and affixed to the structures using a dark brown rope that maintains an organic motif throughout while adding a fun dynamic element.

the swing in action creates adds levity to the project
