Hiking

The Empathic Tree is a 12-metre-high sculpture, half metal, half plant, which will develop in the heart of the city. The intention is to create a biodiverse island in the form of a hybrid tree, where artificial and natural elements will allow the public to discover the life that takes place there, especially that of the birds, thanks to a video system installed in the branches. Inside the stainless steel mesh of the tree are 43 hydroponic capsules containing soil and substrates (fertilisers) that house more than 80 plants. This plant part was designed by landscape architect Sylvia Burès.
