“LANDWORKS” OPERATIVE WORKSHOP: LandWorks is an international interdisciplinary workshop. Along side some of the world’s leading landscape architects, environmental designers and artists, students explore, design and ultimately realize site-specific ephemeral installations inside Sardinia’s Mediterranean landscape. This experimental method of design intervention expands the contemporary practice of landscape architecture through the reevaluation of particularly sensitive places, be they abandoned or compromised, naturally, historically and anthropologically under transition. The interdisciplinary and international operative research program called LandWorks-Sardinia engages globally renowned practitioners, to cross disciplinary boundaries (landscape architecture, dance and music, art and architecture, etc.) to realize provocative ephemeral installations over a short and intensive period of time. (http://www.domusweb.it/en/art/2013/06/12/landworks_sardinia.html). They do this collaboratively with a diverse international student cohort to create shared, spontaneous works through a multi-cultural and multidisciplinary approach. Away from the confines of the traditional design studio, LandWorks operates as an “open air atelier”. The resulting spatial and pedagogical impact of that immersive learning environment allows LandWorks Sardinia to highlight the critical transformation of local Mediterranean landscapes http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/homestyle/bringing-new-life-to-wasteland-20131108-2x2wm.html).

About The LandWorks Operative Workshop was created in 2011, and has since become a critical opportunity for the valorization of particularly sensitive places around the mediterranean landscapes of Sardinia. LandWorks is a studio based “operational workshop” in which participants build environmental and artistic installations under the direction of an established international landscape architect. The culturally and ecologically significant sites selected to for LandWorks are provoke a critical dialog between sense of place, contemporary utility and performance. All LandWorks sites are environmentally compromised and abandoned palimpsests of human activity. Recent projects include, UNESCO heritage sites of the GeoMineral Park, with its unique industrial and archeological heritage of the former resource extraction mines, for the first two editions, and the Park of the Archpelago of La Maddalena, with its extraordinary defensive landscape heritage, for third edition. Over the evolution of the past four editions, the extraordinary Sardinian landscapes have provided a rich field for the experimental “open air ateliers” of the operative workshop, as well as an ideal and representative setting for the contemporary mediterranean landscape. Since the beginning, LandWorks has operated as a fruitful way for design thinkers, young and old, to rediscover the core landscape disciplines, finding and testing contemporary modalities to analyze, underline, revitalize and manage particularly sensitive places. Working closely together with community partners, including local actors and key administrators, LandWorks and its partnerships have created the foundation for a number of on-site projects, that give life to a series of temporary and permanent installations. LandWorks agents – its students, designers and partners - adaptively reuse, or find new modes of use for natural and historical elements found on-site. It is through that adaptive reuse and reinterpretation of key physical elements that evoke past realities of the places itself, that underlines the significance of the changing landscape, the natural and cultural heritage of contexts being explored, and opens new opportunities for future development. But beyond the physical, aesthetic or spatial impact advanced by the projects and design leaders, LandWorks asks the next generations of environmental designers to imagine new perspectives and possible futures for territories and people who live them - areas of incredible natural beauty they will one day inherit and carry on into the future. http://www.landworks-sardinia.eu/index.php?id=42, http://www.landworks-sardinia.eu/index.php?id=2, http://landworks.eu/index.php?id=3 , http://landworks.eu/index.php?id=4

He is currently a designer and scientific director of the Focognano Lakes Protected Area (Campi Bisenzio, FI) forming part of the National System of Protected Areas of WWF Italia, the Protected Herpetology Area ‘Val di Rose’ (Sesto Fiorentino, FI) of the Department of Animal Biology and Genetics of the University of Florence, also a Protected Area of the Na- tional System of Protected Areas of WWF Italia and the Protected Area of Lago Casanuova at the Renai di Signa (Signa, FI). Founding member of Societas Herpetologica Italica and Member of the National Conservation Com- mission of the same Society from 1994 to 2005.

Is an Italian sound-experience designer, based currently between Krakow (Poland) and Berlin (Germany). A true visionary of our times, he started exploring the implications of a dynamic sound space design within landscape and the architectural space since late 90’s with the experimental music open group Timet before, then with the Giardino Sonoro project in Florence and SED / Sound and Experience Design in Berlin and Krakow. In 2009 he founded Architettura Sonora, with Lorenzo Coppini, as a division of the prestigious B&C Speakers. The possibility to control and materialize the abstract forces of mechanical and electroacoustic technology through B&C experience and know-how resulted into a systematic development of many of the shapes and experience design concepts that he had developed since the Giardino Sonoro and SED times. His continuous research and his resourceful approach to design allow him to constantly push new boundaries in sound-experience and product design, creating some of the most interesting innovation in the audio design industry.

Hood established Hood Design in Oakland, California in 2003. Hood’s work spans the range from local, community-based projects-such as Splash Pad Park, a converted traffic island alongside Interstate 580 in Oakland, California, to large-scale garden designs like the grounds for the new M. H. de Young Museum in San Francisco with Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. Hood’s innovative public spaces are known for the way they embrace the essence of urban environments and for their links to urban redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization. He is currently designing the landscape for the Autry National Center Southwest Museum in Los Angeles, designing an archeological garden within the context of the South Lawn Project at the University of Virginia, and developing a set of monuments and markers for a six mile waterfront trail in Oakland, CA.

Parco Geominerario, Storico e Ambientale della Sardegna LandWorks 2011 Edition

LandWorks 2012 Edition

The first edition of LandWorks Program was held from May 8th to May 18th, 2011 in the Parco Geominerario, Storico e Ambientale della Sardegna, inside one of the largest abandoned mining area of Sardinia (over 20 Kmq), between Montevecchio, Ingurtosu and Piscinas, in the province of Medio Campidano and recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site. The principle idea was to create a Festival of Ephemeral installation between art and LandArt on this in transition sardinian landscapes, to underline the significance of this peculiarity between the naturalness and artificiality, cause and consequence of the cultural heritage of the area, in order to open new perspectives and opportunities for future developments on a critical UNESCO World Heritage Site. The labor-intensive approach of the festival was based on a wide participation of a number of qualified landscape architects, assisted by international students, researchers and practitioners of the place, including former miners themselves. This sparked the creation of a series of site-specific installations made by local materials, components and parts of decommissioned once basic survival gear in the mines, such as scrap metal, stone and wood, but also natural elements, part of the lush Mediterranean vegetation, vivid expression of the natural local levels.

It’s been almost 3 years, since the abandoned mines of the Geo Mineral Park of Montevecchio in Sardinia, Italy, a UNESCO world heritage site, were the protagonist of the second edition of LandWorks-Sardinia, a collective action of landscape architecture held from May 21 to 31 of May 2012. This sifted desert mineral is finally consolidating or dissolving the works developed in the last ten days of May. More than sixty participants from four continents joined the workshop, alongside ten tutors and five project leaders. LandWorks-Sardinia had the Department of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the University of Sassari, the Presidency of the Council of the Region of Sardinia, the Goethe Institute and the UNESCO Chair for Landscape (CUPEUM) as scientific partners. Simultaneously, the local governments of the municipality of Guspini, mining company Arbus — which owns the former mining concessions — and many local associations worked together on the initiative.

Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago di La Maddalena In its third Edition, the international, multicultural and multidisciplinary LandWorks Non-Profit Cultural Association, 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 the Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago di La Maddalena, Agenzia del Demanio della Sardegna, the Assessorato all’Ambiente della Regione Sardegna, the Comune di La Maddalena, and other partners. From May 23 to 2 June 2, 2013, an international group of about 80 participants, led by landscape architecture experts, were deployed to parts of the island where these tangible signs of recent history appear and blend with a landscape full of questions and expectations. Complex and carefully designed works took shape in the space of a week. Landscape installations that, despite their ephemerality, embedded themselves in the context and the matter at hand, populating and pressing interrogatives of the location, conveying a need shared with the local players to acquire new means of expression and new communication strategies with which to discuss the future of these landscapes. During the 10 day of intense work together with local actors, under the guidance of the internationally renown guests, the workshop participants, coming from over the world and many different academic institutions, created temporary and permanent installations using staff strictly collected on the site, both natural, as well as the artificial “garbage” coming from places. The new installations were realized with the same passion profused the year before in creating the land architectures. The LandWorks are today still visible and result artifacts that represent a significative memory for the locals that contributed in building and installing them, as well as for the tourists that every year run inside the “unpolluted” and crystallized territories of the Park. The international students were divided in different working groups and worked under the direction of their Team Leader, choose inside the international artists and landscape architects invited for the LandWorks Operative Program’s third edition, to realize, during the 10 really intense day of program, their land-architecures. The operative workshop setting was the north coast of the Sardinian Island, inside the administrative limits of the Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago di La Maddalena, a unique natural and cultural heritage inside Mediterranean Landscape. Installations were embedded into the ex-fortress of the XIX century defensive landscapes in Punta Rossa, on the extreme south part of the little Caprera Island.There, the ruins of military architecture and the main settlement of the Sailing Center Park – a unique social, economic and recreational setting where most military and civil sailing activities from the Mediterranean depart for destinations around the world, and has for decades been the site of generations of important sailing champions. LandWorks installations inside those sites, operated much like an open air museum to give to allow visitors the critical re interpretation of the history of a fundamental period for industry military development (“civilization”) of the Sardinian Island.

Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago di La Maddalena | Villa Webber’s Park Based on the enormous success of previous LandWorks iterations in reconsidering exceptional Sardinian landscapes, the Non-Profit LandWorks Cultural Association in collaboration with the Villa Webber Property, the Comune di La Maddalena, the Assessorato all’Ambiente della Regione Sardegna and other partners designed and realized a number of in-situ projects to underline the significance of the landscape, the natural and cultural heritage of Villa Webber with its 100 hectare Park inside La Maddalena Island. Together, with local actors and under the guidance of internationally renowned professional guests, the workshop participants built temporary and permanent installations, opening new perspectives and opportunities for future developments. The operative workshop started on 22nd of May on the NORTH Coast of Sardinia island, inside the administrative limits of the Archipelago of La Maddalena, within its unique heritage inside of the Mediterranean landscape. The main activity focused on Villa Webber’s Park, the magnificent Villa Constructed in 1885 by Ser James Webber, renown as one of the finest Villas inside all Sardinia’s cultural landscape, representative one of the most precious memory of La Maddalena Archipelago and Sardinia island’s historic cultural landscape. During the the Program, students coming from five continents built over twenty small and large-scale interventions. As before, the environmental installations were mostly ephemeral and made with natural material, or found objects on site. Some of the installations produced in collaboration with the local community have been able to withstand time and are still visible today, simultaneously cultivating local memory for the inhabitants as well as for new visitors. The goal of LandWorks-Sardinia was to train students in landscape architecture through “on site”, “manual”, “hands-on” and “participatory” activities, such as planting, digging, the building of small artifacts and landscape installations. The Workshop program was configured on an extensive on-site and open air concept, devoted to catalyze and accelerate the reclamation and restoration of neglected sites through making. The participants were asked to physically REACT to the existing CULTURAL-NATURAL ENVIRONMENT through a series of site-specific installations that intervene on the land respectfully and consciously of their natural environment. In this way, the objective of LandWorks was to demonstrate how landscape can be used as a strategy for the recovery of contemporary territory and how it can contribute to the field of design.
