cohousing giardino dei folli

Giardino dei Folli is a sustainable and supportive village, focusing on CoLiving and Aps (Social Promotion Association). The concept revolves around CoHousing, where families and individuals choose to live together as a neighborhood community by creating a village with both private living spaces and shared facilities through a participatory design process. The aim is to rediscover lost dimensions of social interaction, mutual support, and good neighboring while simplifying life, reducing stress, and managing daily activities' costs. The project seeks to promote a sense of community, emphasizing social relationships and shared responsibilities. The village strives to embody a sustainable model from ecological, spiritual, socio-cultural, and economic standpoints. Sustainability is viewed as the ability to meet current needs without compromising future generations' prospects. The values include social sustainability through engaging with the local community, experimenting with active and supportive neighborhoods, and making collective decisions through informed and consensual participation. Additionally, environmental sustainability initiatives involve preserving the landscape, utilizing eco-friendly architecture, promoting sustainable mobility, and collaborating with the neighborhood and schools on environmental education. Giardino dei Folli focuses on various actions like promoting conscious living through CoHousing, sustainable construction, and urban redevelopment. Emphasis is also placed on nurturing interpersonal relationships, maintaining the territory's integrity, and advocating for ecological practices such as zero waste and energy efficiency. The village aims to foster a community-driven economy based on ethical finance, local exchange systems, and sustainable food production and consumption. Overall, the project's vision is to create a socially and environmentally sustainable living environment through shared values, mutual support, and responsible practices.
