Sardinia
La Maddalena Natural Reserve Caprera Island (Italy) LandWorks Sardinia 2013 was the third edition in regarding and reconsidering the unique landscapes Punta Rossa military fort in Caprera Island. We realized a number of on-site projects to underline the significance of the landscape and the natural and cultural heritage of Caprera Island, in collaboration with Parco of La Maddalena, Agenzia del Demanio della Sardegna, Assessorato all’Ambiente della Regione Sardegna, Comune di La Maddalena, and other partners. The aim was to open new perspectives and opportunities for future development. Together with local actors under the guidance of internationally renown guests we built temporary and permanent installations just using what we found on the site.

Visions for Landscapes
Working an Old Land to produce New Landscapes The Gargano’s Italy
Promontory
The Gargano is a mountainous promontory that extends into the northern part of Puglia. It is entirely surrounded by the Adriatic Sea, except to the west where it borders on the ‘Tavoliere’. The formation of the Gargano promontory dates back to the Jurassic period at a latitude that caused very different climatic conditions and typically tropical landscapes. The aim of this project is to extend the seaside (currently compressed between the coast and the sea) using sea platfoms that also contribute to reduce the erosion process of the sea. Moreover, several local projects will be set to reuse many abandoned areas across the coast.

Mapping Shrinkage Across Mediterranean
Survey on the phenomena of shrinkage in the Mediterranean Basin through the mapping and overlay of processes Politecnico (Italy) Two
opposite
of
Milan
tendencies
are
characterizing the world demographic trend from 1950s: the growth and the shrinkage. Since the former is the general and positive drive of cities development (above all in the developing countries), the latter is the effect of the urban emptying that is afflicting especially the cities that are shifting from an industrial to a post-industrial economy. Is more and more difficult to locate inside the general growth pattern the opposite trends and understand them not as exceptions but as part of it.
18
The essay The aim of this survey is to map the pehnomenon of shrinkage in the Mediterranean Basin, using the addition of different processes as investigation method.
A liquid continent According to the definition of the Multiplicity Lab, in this survey, the Mediterranean is contemplated as “[...] a large Continent interposed between Europe, Asia Minor and Africa [...], a liquid continentcut to differing depths by impenetrable corridors and subdivided by high barriers in which specialized enclosures and vast, uninhabited plains alternate. Its borders are perforated by funnels of entry and exit that ingreasingly respond to the logic of exclusion and separation. It is a new continent, the map of which we are still unfamiliar with”. Multiplicity Lab Around a Solid Sea
Eidetic operations To build the geography of shrinkage in the Mediterranean basin have been used the eidetic images, that are: “[...] sensible formas, which (according to Aristotele) emanate from objects and imprint themselves on the wax-like receptacles of our senses like a signet ring; the fantasmata, which are revived versions of those impressions called up by the imagination in the absence of the objects that originally stimulated them; thos appearances which intrude between ourselves and reality”

The first is the Libyan case; divided in two processes: the one of growth (map 1), after the built of the Man Made River Projet that brings water across the desert up to the costal cities allowing the irrigation of the crop fields in the desert and the use of drinkable water in the cities; and the one of shrinkage (map 2), after the war and the collapse of the whole Country.

The second case is the one of
Gioia Tauro, in the South of Italy. This plain hosts one of the biggest transhipment port of the whole Mediterranean (map 3) that, in spite of the huge number of TEUs that every year transit from here, is totally disconnected from the hinterland’s infrastructure, that is extremely weak compared with the port. This disconnection prevent the economical growth of the Region that is unable to draw people to work here who, in reverse, leave every year the plain of Gioia Tauro.

The port is not the only economical
tool not properly used. Even the agriculture is an incredible potentiality. But the total controlo of it, by criminality, and the use of illegal immigrant workers doesn’t allow the legal local farmers to develope their business.

Libyan Vision
Post-War
Visions of the post-war Libyan landscape Libya Libya is facing today one of the most bloody conflict of North Africa. Even though the Colonnel Gheddafi’s regime is fall, this country is still
fighting. What i tried to do, producing collage images, is to suppose a post-war Libyan performative landscape that could be usefull to prevent future conflicts. The main idea is the one of setting several ecological corridors across the country, connecting the Libyan hot spots, that operate both as green fields (crops or grazing lands) and phisical barriers against heavy militar vehicles.

Tawargha, once a vibrant city of 30,000 inhabitants, today, the “green island” in the Amazigh language – is just a ghost town in the middle of the Libyan desert. The Economist

NATO has admitted that its jets attacked the Brega’s pipe factory on 22 July, claiming in justification that it was used as a military storage facility and rockets were launched from there. he water pipe infrastructure is probably the most essential civilian infrastructure in Libya. Key to its continued function, particularly in time of war, is the Brega pipe factory which enables leaks and breaks in the system to be repaired. Human rights investigations
Jalo Oasis is an oasis in Cyrenaica, Libya, located west of the Great Sand Sea and about 250 km south-east of the Gulf of Sidra. Quite large, 19 kilometres (12 mi) long and up to 11 kilometres (7 mi) wide,[1] it supports a number of settlements, the largest of which is the town of Jalu. Because of its location and as a source of water, it had strategic importance during the North African Campaign in World War II and changed hands several times between Allied and Axis forces.

Areal Bolzano Railway Bolzano (Italy)
The aim of the competition was to restore all the area of the railway with a new station, new commercial and residential buildings and a big public space that could join the old and the new city. The proposal was to make Bolzano a
“smart city�, a city that could grow up without consume new green field. First of all we moved the railway to the south in order to sew up the old and the new city. The salient points of this project are: -Centrality of the new railway station and his immediate connection with Walther plaza; -Creation of a new landmark; -Regulation of traffic in via Garibaldi; -Realization of a new public park; -Integration of the new public and privare uses.

The park is the green branche with three axes that pass through the new conurbations and draws a connection between ecological and environmental flows and new park Isarco: a wide tree-lined avenue that accompanies the railway viaduct, and two arched corridors that cross the isolates right and left of the viaduct, bringing together in one large green matrix big short inside the blocks themselves. These axes green bring the cycle-pedestrian mobility, but they are also designed as places equipped to meet. In residential neighborhoods are also expected gardens usable level condominium, with recreational facilities and social support to green neighborhood. Of water tanks, crossing from side to side the railway viaduct, make it even stronger rejoining of the two sides of the city created by this project. In addition, they integrate well into the concept of management and urban stormwater retention within the urban fabric. 01

Competition for Future Living Solutions Lahti (Finland) The town of Lahti, located in Finland, is surrounded by a large natural environment called Salpausselk채, and by a small lake called Myt채j채rvi. The area is affected by important connective systems and is bounded by many infrastructure such as railway to the south and Highway 12 to the north, and a low density residential area to the north-east. The goal was redevelop the area from a physical, social and cultural point of view.

areas means give them something that has been removed from old intervention but also enrich them of something new by giving them a new function. Cornigliano is a town where nature, represented by the sea, the Polcevera river, the Erzelli hill, was the mainstay of any business. With the end of the century the urban and production logics changed the face of Cornigliano which saw its population redouble in a few years, its shores invaded by Ansaldo factories and new heavy infrastructure.

Re-Nature The first step was the extension of the Parco Bombrini, to the seaside, in order to give back nature that piece of city. The design of the park was made by strips, giving them a specific type of vegetation (grass, shrubs or trees) to create variety of essences along the route as well as different wings to the sea.

The Auditorium design was the second step of the project. The aim was to make it as a link between two major macro-areas of the masterplan and facing the sea with a large "glass eye". Its polyfunctional connotation wants to be a reason for many people as possible to go to the sea of​​ Cornigliano. Requalify these areas means not only bring back to them what has been removed from previous operations but also enrich them, giving them a new function and a new life.

From Form Finding to Architecture Politecnico of Milan (Italy) The workshop was intended in a holistic learn-by-design approach where advanced design methodologies and techniques were introduced directly with fabrication and construction of a 1:1 installation. The aim was to experience collaboratively a challenging design experience ranging from FormFinding theory to real construction of a temporary pavilion based on a parametric strategies. We develop a design scheme for a temporary pavilion with digital tools and production of test-models. The final design version will be then geometrically optimized for
production. Parametric design information was transferred to construction nested drawings ready for digital fabrication. We experienced CNC-based fabrication of pleated components and collaborated to the construction of the final pavilion.

Calling
Jornada da Habitação São Paulo (Brasil) The idea of the SP Calling is to highlight the importance of projects for the so-called informal city, not as being out of the ordinary but rather as a new relationship that politicians and technicians ought to establish with the population living in the less privileged districts and expecting creative solutions in accordance with the demands of the city of the 21st century. In order to spread and enlarge the debates about the future of the informal cities in this 21st century are invited six cities to participate on the São Paulo Calling. Each one of them will explore its local slum upgrading solutions and social housing practices, which will be the chain between these cities and São Paulo interventions. The ideas presented here have as a common objective the transformation of the contemporary city in a space where opposed values could coexist and be confronted countering the conservative ideas of isolated communities. The city that permits the democratic communal living that is related to the extension of access to opportunities to all its inhabitant.
