of the project's core concepts: reflecting on the relationship between touch and sight in relation to the landscape.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it can be perceived and appreciated as both a 'distant background', which is predominantly visual, and something 'very close' that one can touch and be immersed in. In this sense, this imposing chestnut wood structure is intended to stitch together fragments of the purely visual 'background' landscape, encouraging dialogue with tactile perception by walking between them. The walkway offers visitors a change of perspective, enabling them to experience the green surroundings and landscapes in two different yet complementary ways.  <\/p>\n<p>Designed as an organic structure, the walkway comprises more than sixty portals of different cross-sections, each one unique. This creates a freely unfolding path through the regular grid of pillars in the exhibition hall.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Status<\/strong>: Completed<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Customer<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">: Porto Antico di Genova Spa<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Design team:<\/strong> M.
