“Green tales” showcases parks which reach all the five senses of their visitors while telling them stories of rivers, railway stations, precious fairy-tale ecosystems, and their inhabitants. Our projects focus on sustainable forms of planning and maintenance with the application of technologies that save resources and energy, as well as enhancing biodiversity. “Biopark Santo Inácio” project near Porto and “Zootopia” project in Thessaloniki reimagine these two zoos as modern bioparks where nature and culture meet  in a  looping path through biomes representing global ecosystems. “Simulacrum” project proposes the creation of a parkland as part of a waterfront regeneration megaproject, while the combination of vegetation, new technologies and mirrors creates a balanced environment despite the prominent contrast between the story about past and present, real and unreal. The main task of the Green regenerations of Railway Areas in Sofia and Lille is to create a multifunctional thematic parks for recreation and services and related to the history of the industrial development of cities and their postindustrial transformation but also about the transformation of society and the change in individual choice of each of its members.
