进入森林
Into the Forest
在粮农组织举办的第一届世界城市森林论坛（WFUF 2018）上，Openfabric被选中设计曼托瓦市中心的公共空间。设计的目的是与论坛的两个不同层面接触：学术层面和广大公众。该项目希望批判性地代表一些森林类型，提高人们对城市环境中自然的重要性和气候变化的巨大影响的认识。通过模糊、并列、美学和不适的工具，《走进森林》旨在挑战对自然的感知，并渴望被全球城市所采用。
Openfabric has been selected to design the public spaces of Mantova city center in occasion of the first World Forum on Urban Forest (WFUF 2018) by FAO. The aim of the design is to engage with the two different levels of the forum: the academic one and the broad public. The project wants to critically represent a number of forest typologies rising both awareness on the importance of nature in urban environments and on the dramatic effects of climate change. Through the tools of ambiguity, juxtaposition, aesthetics and discomfort, Into the Forest aims to challenge the perception of nature and aspires to be adopted by cities, globally.
Fallen Forest
“倒下的森林”是为了纪念2018年11月2日袭击意大利东北部地区的飓风中数百万树木的受害者。该装置通过重建一部分后世界末日景观，对抗气候热带化现象及其对环境的灾难性影响。气候变化是现实的，行动是紧迫的。
“Fallen Forest” is a memorial for the millions of trees victims of the cyclone that hit the North-Eastern regions of Italy on November 2nd, 2018. The installation confronts the phenomena of climate tropicalisation and its catastrophic effects on the environment, by recreating a portion of post-apocalyptic landscape. Climate change is real, action is urgent.
Mediterranean Forest
地中海硬叶常绿栎林根据气候、土壤和人为条件，以多种形态和结构塑造了地中海景观的特征。主要树种为冬青栎、圆叶栎、苏木栎、月桂树和杨梅，后两者通常为灌木生长形式。常绿橡树林地一直是该地区人类社会历史上的战略资源，提供直接和间接的商品和利益，如薪材、软木、食物和饲料、木材、住所。其范围从海平面高达800-900 a.s.l.，树木和灌木物种通常非常适应干旱和火灾。
The Mediterranean sclerophyllous evergreen oak forest shapes the character of Mediterranean landscapes with a wide variety of formations and structures, according to climate, soil, and anthropogenic conditions. The dominant tree species are Quercus ilex, Quercus rotundifolia, Quercus suber, Laurus nobilis and Arbutus unedo, the latter two having rather often a shrub growth form. The evergreen oak woodlands have been a strategic resource along the history of human societies in the region, providing direct and indirect goods and benefits, as fuelwood, cork, food and fodder, timber, shelter. They range from sea level up to 800-900 a.s.l. and the tree and shrub species are generally very well drought- and fire-adapted.
Native Forest
“原生森林”让人想起了在大规模转变为农业和城市土地覆盖之前，广泛覆盖在波谷（Pianura Padana）的古老森林结构的一部分。事实上，意大利北部的大部分地区很可能被低地森林所覆盖，主要由栎属植物和白桦属植物组成，是指《欧洲栖息地手册》所分类的大西洋下和中欧栎或白桦属栎木森林。这些森林目前只在少数小块地区生存，作为自然保护区受到保护。低地森林虽然几乎消失，但作为当地社区自然和文化资本的非物质遗产，其战略环境价值应得到考虑。
The “Native Forest” recalls a fragment of the ancient forest formations widely covering the Po Valley (Pianura Padana) before the massive transformation to agriculture and urban land cover. In fact large part of Northern Italy was very likely covered by lowlands forests dominated by Quercus spp. and Carpinus betulus, referring to Sub-Atlantic and medio-European oak or oak-hornbeam forests of the Carpinion betuli, as classified by the European manual of habitats. The forests currently survive only in few, small patches, protected as nature reserves. The lowlands forests, although almost disappeared, should be considered for their strategic environmental value, as an intangible heritage of natural and cultural capital of local communities.
