BLUEPRINT

ERICA PASETTI, MARGHERITA SQUEO

Blueprint is a temporary refuge, a tent that leaves no trace, echoing the ancient yet ever-relevant act of covering the soil to regenerate it. A blue square, a stick, ropes, and stones stretch to shelter the flowers, creating a moment of contemplation where the contrast between humans and nature takes center stage.

IL GIARDINO DELLE ALTRE

THE GARDEN OF OTHERS
SIMONE OTTONELLO, GIANFRANCO FUMO

“…that is, the garden of other species, dedicated to pollinating insects, essential for the planet’s survival. Elevated and inaccessible to humans, visitors can observe the garden and insect activity through cameras and screens, which will also provide access to additional content on social media and a dedicated website. Today, it is a prototype for Euroflora—tomorrow, it could cover the streets of entire cities.”

PRIMAVERA SILENZIOSA

SILENT SPRING
MARIO MANFRONI, PATRIZIA BURLANDO, ALESSANDRO CHILOSI, SABRINA DIAMANTI

Silent Spring symbolizes the impact of human activity on the environment. A barren, chaotic landscape stands in contrast to a lush oasis, full of life and hope. At the center, a mirror reflects a sky in bloom, inviting visitors to reflect on their own responsibilities and the choice between destruction and renewal.

RADIFICARE L’INCOMPIUTO

ROOTING THE UNFINISHED
CRISTINA MOLINARI

Civilization is born from human intervention, but nature never surrenders. This installation, made of corten steel and metal mesh, evokes the decline of unfinished buildings, while vegetation symbolizes the relentless force of nature reclaiming spaces. A gravel path leads visitors to the heart of the installation, where nature prevails over human constructs.

RIFLETTO

REFLECT
MARIA LUISA GUERRINI, LUCA FERRETTI, VERONICA VALENTINI, SOFIA CAMBIOTTI

I reflect, therefore I think. I reflect, therefore I mirror an image. Same verb, two different meanings. “Reflect” is a space enclosed by shiny walls, inviting visitors to contemplate the state of our planet. The mirror, reflecting the image of cracked earth, provides an answer. Dried and hardened by climate change-induced drought, the soil bears small, vibrant native plants sprouting from its fissures—a symbol of Nature’s resilience. At the heart of the garden stands a majestic olive tree, a symbol of regeneration, offering shade and hope to those who step inside. The kaleidoscopic play of reflections amplifies the space, extending its dimensions beyond the physical. Reflection becomes a dreamlike experience. Visitors arrive captivated by the colorful gardens mirrored on the external walls, only to find themselves immersed in a space that serves as both a reminder of global environmental crises and a beacon of resilience and rebirth. It is humanity’s duty to find sustainable solutions, ensuring that nature resurfaces and reclaims its role as the beating heart of our world.

THAUMASTÀ, LE COSE MERAVIGLIOSE

THAUMASTÀ, THE WONDERFUL THINGS
DANIELE PILLA

Thaumastà is an ephemeral sculpture, whose shape is gradually eroded by the elements and colonized by vegetation. The tufts of grass that crack the clay reveal a living force that transcends human will. It is a reflection on the transience of beauty and individual lives, questioning the role of homo sapiens in the world, urging a step aside for nature’s reclaiming of space.

UNVEIL

CLEPSTUDIO (GLORIA LISI, VALERIO CROCI, FABRIZIO ESPOSITO, NOEMI PREZIOSO)

unVEIL is a gesture that physically evokes the act of uncovering, of turning a page, to rediscover the vitality of the soil, often perceived as inert. It encourages visitors to reflect on the human-soil relationship. As the veil we ourselves place is lifted, the energy of the soil is unleashed. Thaumastà is an ephemeral sculpture, whose shape is gradually eroded by the elements and colonized by vegetation. The tufts of grass that crack the clay reveal a living force that transcends human will. It is a reflection on the transience of beauty and individual lives, questioning the role of homo sapiens in the world, urging a step aside for nature’s reclaiming of space.

WILDFLOWERS: FIORI SELVATICI E CONTESTI URBANI

WILDFLOWERS: WILD FLOWERS AND URBAN CONTEXTS
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT GIULIA SASSO, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT CECILIA GALLI PASSERINI

Is it really possible to pursue goals of combating climate change and increasing biodiversity in congested environments? The answer is yes: there are plants that can adapt to stress and water scarcity, growing at the edges of cultivated areas and near roadways. These are the Wildflowers.

NATURA NATURANS

LORENZA FERRARI, DEILA DI FIORDO, ALICE DI GIANNANTONIO, EMMA FRANCO

The garden is divided into three areas: arid, semi-arid, and lush, symbolizing rebirth through nature. A pebble path runs through the spaces, where plants, dunes, and materials create a dialogue between man and the environment. The transition evokes sustainability and regeneration, reflecting the balance between art, nature, and human work.

OSSIMORO

ALESSIA FRANCO, ILARIA FIORENTINO, KARIN MARTINI, EMANUELE DRAGOMANNI

Ossimoro explores and interprets two opposing realities: the anthropized world, sterile and dark, and the natural world, full of life and color. Connecting them is a Door, a gateway to new awareness, inviting reflection not only on how a space is, but also on how it was or could become, recognizing that every action could make a difference.

VERDE INNOCENTIA

INNOCENT GREEN
MARTINA CONIGLIO, FRANCESCA MACCIÒ, ANNA SALA, MARCO PIZZO

Verde Innocentia explores the possibility of giving a new landscape identity to abandoned spaces, evoking the dialogue between human culture and plant life. It is inspired by coastal areas on the urban margins, places that seem invisible. Thus, a unique fusion is created between human artifice and nature, which with “innocentia” reclaims and fills the space.
