Block

Eco-Compact Block

It is always defined by buildings aligned on street's edge, thus providing the block with one or several internal courtyards where kids or elder people can play and rest in a protected environment characterized by an intense green treatment. An eco-compact urban block has a clear hierarchy between the external public space and the private or semi-private inner one.
