Abstract As architecture is rapidly moving towards to embracing sustainability and resilience, case studies on the impact and implementation of sustainable and resilient strategies particularly in areas with natural distress becomes critical. Moreover, society’s lack of environmental awareness of calamities being one of the main reasons of today’s natural unbalance; a set-up of an architectural and landscaping strategy involving human contribution becomes a main point of a project. As nature and human experience being quintessence of the program, a concept of resiliency allowing nature and civilizations coexist peacefully instead of restricting nature for the sake of protecting human life, in other words; cohabitation of humanity and nature with equitable compromise is the goal of this thesis. The best way of bringing people and nature together with architecture is the utilization of art. The Arte Sella group had been striving for this goal for 30 years in the Sella valley, which was hit by a storm on October 29, 2018. Destruction of many artworks and emerging concerns of security brought the idea that an architectural strategy is needed to protect their vision and safety in the valley. A design process which is minimizing environmental risks and maximizing natural integration with the mountain became their essential requirement when publishing their open architectural competition “Calamity Atelier”, in collaboration with Young Architects Competition (YAC) with a specified architectural program. In addition to Arte Sella’s demands being encouraging in the context of resilience and sustainability; the existing municipal strategical plan for the Trentino region is found compatible with the implementation of an environmentally aware, sustainable and resilient program in the area. Therefore, a unitary coordination of landscape and architecture has been studied within this research. In contemporary world, rural areas are depopulated due to rural unemployment; resulting in a weakened human-nature relationship, especially in the countries where technology is integrated within daily practices. This broken relationship decreases the resiliency of societies. Therefore; a need for a social, ecological, and economical implementation have arisen. Combined with the aspirations regarding sustainable and ecological improvement; mosaic landscape models and resilient bamboo forestry have been chosen to be implemented on the area. Both mosaic landscapes and resilient bamboo forestry relies on communities, thence require social, ecological and economic systems; and they both support the increasing of environmental quality through elevating biodiversity. The architectural exercise within site consists of the systematization of basic principles (to implement on the area through architecture) and formation of intuitive, instinctive designs that contain the essence of the sensory impression of the place. Being faithful to the principles of resilience, sustainability and natural integration, in other words letting nature contribute to creation and use of space; the design has focused on emphasizing the notable dualities of nature within site; such as static and dynamic forces, and tectonic and stereotomic formations. Bamboo had been used as a substantial architectural element to support the new ecological, economic and social tendency towards the utilization of the plant within site. A museum of disappeared works, an auditorium with an open and closed performance hall, and five artist ateliers/houses had been designed along the paths of Arte Sella to contribute to the human-nature dynamic in the valley.

Landscpae Planning Approach

The decision of proposing an intermediate scaled landscape architecture project in Arte Sella-The Contemporary mountain emerged from the combination of academic aspirations of thesis research, Arte Sella’s existing demand for an architectural intervention in a post-calamity area with high natural importance, and the contemporary plans and strategies of Trentino Regional Municipality. On the landscape level, the issues of exploitation of natural sources, disruption of soil quality, natural disasters arising from climate change had been the initial targets of sustainability. With the widespread of industrial productions after fossil fuel revolution; the human-nature relationship had been through a dramatic change. Whilst before machinery, human-nature relationship was maintained in small scales and directly; the fossil fuel revolution enabled the maintenance of larger lands in shorter time causing not only a very indirect human-nature contact but also the abandonment of rural lands and decreasing of biodiversity due to mega scale planting of monotype biomass. Depopulation in rural lands resulted in a decrease in soil quality, poor management of forestry and agricultural systems. Furthermore, following the loss of biodiversity; the vegetation changes have endangered many species of fauna and flora. Eventually, in contemporary western landscapes, humans have an excessively weakened relationship with nature due to the decreased dependency on labor in cultivation and maintenance. Although the disappearance/transformation of agricultural habits was a necessary adaptation to the developing technology; damaging healthy ecosystems is a great risk due to its disabling the chances of self-sufficiency and creating an implacable dependency on outer resources. Thus, a more diverse and sustainable vegetal pattern in Sella Valley has been involved in the strategy of this study; aiming to create a social system that supports landscape use and management. However, existing woodland has been found insufficient for the desired sustainability and ecological resiliency goals; due to being hard to grow, not renewable, and not providing a certain sustainable answer for the planet in the long run. Regarding the climate change and the scarcity of natural resources, instead of recreating the precalamity conditions on site, a more beneficiary energy source has been considered as more appropriate for investment: bamboo.

Museum of Disapperaed Works

The museum of disappeared works is located across Villa Strobele; welcoming visitors at the very beginning of the primary path leading to Malga Costa, and open-air artwork exhibiting path “Arte Natura”. Inspired by the fixed and mutable duality of the landscape; the thick, curved masonry walls are representing the mountains tectonic stability, whilst the light, tenuous, mild bamboo walls represent the erratic, dynamic growth of the vegetation of the valley. Limestone cladded masonry unit walls are an instinctive imitation of the mountain surfaces; thickening and thinning spontaneously to magnify the unevenness of natural topography. The continuous walls are welcoming the exterior vegetation through curves meandering in and out to allow soil to penetrate through building; in order to diffuse the line between interior and exterior experience; yet attaining built in resilience and senses of safety and reliability to the space. The bamboo walls extending over the limestone walls and bamboo roof are not only pushing the conventional structural limits of regular timber; but also maximizing the dynamic movement of live nature. The museum is a continuity of the path; inviting visitors without a clear boundary of privacy or artificiality. The path leading people into the exhibition continues with no interruption; making the museum ground no different than the surface of the mountain itself. The natural light beaming through the sharp cuts through walls onto the tall, bare bamboo columns are embodiment of the emotions left after the storm; commemorating the hundreds of dead, fallen trunks.

Workshop and Auditorium

The Auditorium of Arte Sella is the most publicly exposed member of the design program; making it the most representative element of the art, nature and architecture composition. Located at the near-bottom of the northern wing of the valley; auditorium’s form is complementing the slanted natural topography through a geometrically contrasting roof. When viewed from afar during the stroll on the path Arte Natura; the converse slanted roof stabbed into the hill maximizes the versant topography. Landscaping with gradually lowering vegetation is designed to aid the blending of the formal contrast into the site. The auditorium is surrounded with the phenomenal, seraphic silhouettes of surrounding mountains; to highlight the aforementioned alpine panorama; the nature has been mirrored directly into the interiors of the auditorium through a continuous glass façade cornering through eastern and southern faces of the building. While a continuous, solid wall curves along the western face; providing a tectonic, physical rigidity as a mountain; a light, permeable face on the eastern and southern faces of the building provides an ever-changing view through incalculable layers of bamboo and glass frames. The ephemeral growth of nature and the metamorphosis of the coniferous tapestry is exposed to visitors and performers through a layer of bamboo culms; letting light penetrate into every zone in the building. The auditorium is a formal geometrical exercise; contrasting the nature in the closed spaces, and mirroring / reproducing it in the open amphitheater. The constant natural exposé in the performance areas is an architectural support to Arte Sella-Contemporary Mountain’s statement; differentiating the performances in the valley form any other by making them site-specific, nature-dependent experiences; belonged to no artistic collection but to nature only.

Artist’s Atelier

Artists’ ateliers are 5 small cabins located along the valley between Villa Strobele and Malga Costa; aimed at accommodating artists invited by Arte Sella to contribute to their open-air exhibition. In addition to the basic functions as bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom; the cabins have an open and closed space for working. Arte Sella’s statement regarding the works in their collection “living a profound symbiosis with nature” is taken as a guiding motto for the designing of spaces. Resilience and safety is given by the concrete masonry unit cores of the building; enveloped by an intangible light framing of bamboo; inspired by the traditional architectonic of the region. In human scale; a horizontally linear, curved volume intersects with a sharp triangular volume; enhancing the buildings connection with the coniferous background. While the A-frame core and the curved, organic extension of masonry walls give a soft sense of enclosure of the mountain peaks; a bamboo based reinterpretation of the typical A-frame is providing the artists to be wrapped in a layer of nature. Skylights are shaded with bamboo cladding; letting light beam through bamboo culms and woven roofing mats into the interiors; providing a unique experience and view; involving the sky, enveloping nature-based structure, and the tips of the pine trees surrounding the houses. Lime mortar finishing is a complementary choice for the natural materials of the site; moreover, ladder access to the upper suspended floor is another complementary practice to strengthen the natural connection. Movement of the atelier area, modern interpretation of traditional structure, and a balanced use of static form and dynamic materiality provides artists a sensual experience in the woods; allowing them to safely surrender to the natures isolation and create purest forms of art with no distraction.
