LW HISTORY

The Cultural Association LandWorks (LW) was founded in 2011 as a project within the master in Mediterranean Landscape Urbanism of the Department of Architecture in Alghero-UNISS, and mainly organizes international workshops on art, architecture and landscape named LandWorks (LW), in places of particular historical and environmental value but in a state of great decay, neglect and socio-economic suffering. The aim is to enhance and regenerate the selected sites through culture, with the involvement of experts, teachers, professionals, international students of architecture, landscape, art and photography and the participation of the resident community, in a spectrum of multidisciplinarity. By embracing the most diverse creative and performing disciplines (art, architecture, dance, music and theater) LW organizes workshops / experimental laboratories, conferences, seminars, residencies, art, study and research, internships, festivals and cultural marketing

activities. After the positive experience of the international workshop LandWorks Sardinia 2015 at Argentiera, the Association feels the need to take root in a stable form over time and place to put in synergy the set of knowledge and skills. This is how the LandWorks Plus (LW+) project was conceived, a participatory project that aims to protect, enhance and revitalise a small former mining village in Northern Sardinia, Argentiera (Sassari), a UNESCO heritage site, now partly abandoned. The main objective is to regenerate the site through the implementation of projects and initiatives â&#x20AC;&#x153;from belowâ&#x20AC;?, aiming to become a virtuous and sustainable model of international excellence, exportable, replicable and scalable, a reference for the cultural and artistic debate in the large scale: from the extraction of minerals to the cultural and creative production.

LandWorks Plus (LW+) is a project conceived by LandWorks Cultural Association (LW) that involves the Municipality of Sassari, the Geomineral, Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia, the DADU-Department of Architecture, Design and Urban Planning (Uniss), the Academy of Fine Arts of Sassari, the Devilla Higher Education Institute of Sassari, the Association Erasmuss - ESN Sassari and the Cultural Association Formore Istruzione, with the active participation of the Chaire UnescoUniversité de Montreal-Canada, the SoA+D-School of Architecture and Design-KMUTT-Bangkok-Thailand, the TUM-Technische Universität München-Germany and the AHOOslo School of Architecture and Design-Norway. LandWorks Plus is the evolution of the LandWorks workshop and aims to strengthen and optimize the cultural policies of the territory and create a virtuous model of urban regeneration. The local community is the core and the project aim at involving it in projects of selforganization from below, making the village a center of experimentation and multidisciplinary artistic production of international excellence. LW+ aims to preserve the vocation, identity and memory of the mining site, as a place of work, innovation and production: from the extraction of minerals to the cultural and creative production in

order to redefine the international attractiveness of the site. The desertion that meets culture becomes an opportunity for growth and development, to rebuild and rede ne the relationships between man, art, architecture and landscape.  LW+ with an integrated approach, reconverts the site producing culture, creativity and art, as drivers of development and rebirth of the mine. Our offer system is based on 5 strategic assets: education, studies and research, artistic and scientific residences, open air museum and mine museum, cultural and recreational events and experiences. The aim is to restore and give back to the community the places and their identity, giving form to them, establishing relationships and proportions between the memory of what has been abandoned, insigning an innovative cultural, social, tourist and ecological reading. The project has received several national awards: it is one of the winning projects in the national call for proposals “Culturabilityrigenerare spazi da condividere” promoted by the Unipolis Foundation and one of the projects eligible for funding by MIBAC (Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities) for the 2018 call for proposals for the European Year of Cultural Heritage.

CONTEXT

LW+ chooses Argentiera as a field of experimentation, for the peculiar historical-environmental value and the tourist-productive vocation. The mining area, in the municipality of Sassari, on the north-western coast of Sardinia, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, is included in the Historical and Environmental Geomineral Park of Sardinia. Argentiera, which today has 70 inhabitants, was founded as a village of miners and takes its name from the material extracted from the deposits of lead, iron and zinc silver. The mine, used in Roman and medieval times, resumed mining in 1867, remaining in operation until 1963. The architectural heritage of the village is one of the greatest examples of mining archaeology in Sardinia. Today, some of the buildings are essential components of the landscape, in particular the Laveria, the pozzo PodestĂ , ex manufacturing, the director villa, the cinema and the ruins of the small residences.

The village, which remained in a state of suspension for years, has recently seen the creation of new and favourable conditions for urban, environmental and social regeneration.â&#x20AC;¨ The administration has made available public outdoor spaces, such as squares, streets, open spaces and underused areas that will host the architecturalartistic works co-designed by students, professionals and international artists in collaboration with the local community. Through the planned and coordinated action of the partners involved, the aim is to implement a broad system of supply to overcome physical, geographical and cultural isolation. An isolation that represents a limit but at the same time represents an advantage that returns a unique and highly distinctive experience that enhances the disused structures through new codes of use, for both public and private use.

WORKSHOP

LandWorks arranges itinerant International operative workshops, which last 8-10 days, welcoming each time around 100 experts among teachers, young professionals and students of landscape architecture, architecture, art and photography from around the world, who work together intensively, alternating moments of exchange with residents and lectures by local experts, to identify the local problems of the site, study a new way of land-use, and offer a different perspective. For every nights there is the opportunity to attend public conferences where the international Team Leaders, will illustrate their method and innovative approach to the landscape. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;site specificâ&#x20AC;? installation events, often in the spirit of LandArt, are conceived and built using natural and/or recycled materials and important historical artefacts found on-site. In line with the highly operational, extemporaneous and mainly ephemeral character of its experimental method, LandWorks also incorporates artistic performances with dancers,

singers and parkour artists in order to curate a complex choreography, all documented by a team of professional and student of photographers and videomakers. The territory is conceived as an immense operational experimental field, an open-air and interactive museum: multicultural, multidisciplinary and participatory for the realization of a major land revitalization input, in which the community, institutions and local partners are considered crucial actors. The purpose of LandWorks is to contribute to the enhancement of the development of cultural landscape resources in the chosen sites with the aim to contribute to new ways of local restoration, renewal and economic recovery. Temporary works of landscape realizations can offer a catalytic impulse for a permanent development of the sites, new economic realities and new possible future alternatives, as well as proposing new models of cultural tourism which will enable visitors to discover the place and its history.
