The meadow, which welcomes breaks for groups visiting Munlab and meetings of friends and associations connected with the eco-museum, has been equipped with furniture made from recycled blocks and bricks, selected from the brick kiln waste, created through trials and experiments to scale and directly with the elements in real life.
A star-shaped sign made of perforated bricks introduces the ‘Shared Meadow’, where a bench for children, made of refractory blocks, has been arranged organically under the mulberry trees, a semicircular table made of perforated refractory blocks and a wooden plank top under a field maple and a fig tree, a sinuous table with a similar base, next to the existing kiln, seats made of terracotta rounds on straw bales, a fountain protection and small flower boxes. Cosy spaces along the shady edges of the site.
