Ars Urbana \u2013 Designer competition<\/h1>\n
\n

A themed competition open to landscape designers, architects, agronomists, naturalists, engineers, garden designers, and gardeners of any nationality, participating individually or as part of a multidisciplinary group, for the conception and creation of exhibition spaces within Euroflora 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thirteen projects have passed the evaluation committee\u2019s selection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The designers worked in line with the competition guidelines, proposing solutions that respect both the overall theme of the event, “Nature Takes Its Place,” and the request to explore the relationship between art and landscape. Their proposals adhere to principles of environmental sustainability, water and energy conservation, and climate change mitigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

20 SQM TO LIVE, 5 TO REFLECT<\/em>
DAVIDE VENTURA, PARDO D\u2019ANGELO ARCHITETTURA STUDIO ASSOCIATO, VERA LUCIANI<\/em><\/h5>\n

The project addresses the issue of land consumption in Italy, highlighting the scarcity of urban green spaces\u2014an average of just 20 square meters per inhabitant, with some cities dropping to as little as 5 square meters. Through an interactive installation, the goal is to raise awareness and encourage critical reflection on this pressing issue. The installation features two floating islands: the first, 20 square meters, represents the national average and is accessible to the public. The second, 5 square meters, is inaccessible, symbolizing cities with less green space and emphasizing the disconnect and urgency for action. The islands are framed by red structures, a visual warning of the dangers of land consumption, while the use of native plant species promotes sustainability and urban well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Blueprint is a temporary refuge, a tent that leaves no trace, echoing the ancient yet ever-relevant act of covering the soil to regenerate it. A blue square, a stick, ropes, and stones stretch to shelter the flowers, creating a moment of contemplation where the contrast between humans and nature takes center stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Elevated and inaccessible to humans, visitors can observe the garden and insect activity through cameras and screens, which will also provide access to additional content on social media and a dedicated website.

Silent Spring symbolizes the impact of human activity on the environment. A barren, chaotic landscape stands in contrast to a lush oasis, full of life and hope. At the center, a mirror reflects a sky in bloom, inviting visitors to reflect on their own responsibilities and the choice between destruction and renewal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

REFLECT<\/em>
MARIA LUISA GUERRINI, LUCA FERRETTI, VERONICA VALENTINI, SOFIA CAMBIOTTI<\/em><\/h5>\n

I reflect, therefore I think. I reflect, therefore I mirror an image. Same verb, two different meanings. “Reflect” is a space enclosed by shiny walls, inviting visitors to contemplate the state of our planet. The mirror, reflecting the image of cracked earth, provides an answer. Dried and hardened by climate change-induced drought, the soil bears small, vibrant native plants sprouting from its fissures\u2014a symbol of Nature\u2019s resilience. At the heart of the garden stands a majestic olive tree, a symbol of regeneration, offering shade and hope to those who step inside. The kaleidoscopic play of reflections amplifies the space, extending its dimensions beyond the physical. Reflection becomes a dreamlike experience. Visitors arrive captivated by the colorful gardens mirrored on the external walls, only to find themselves immersed in a space that serves as both a reminder of global environmental crises and a beacon of resilience and rebirth. It is humanity\u2019s duty to find sustainable solutions, ensuring that nature resurfaces and reclaims its role as the beating heart of our world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thaumast\u00e0 is an ephemeral sculpture, whose shape is gradually eroded by the elements and colonized by vegetation. The tufts of grass that crack the clay reveal a living force that transcends human will. It is a reflection on the transience of beauty and individual lives, questioning the role of homo sapiens in the world, urging a step aside for nature\u2019s reclaiming of space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

unVEIL is a gesture that physically evokes the act of uncovering, of turning a page, to rediscover the vitality of the soil, often perceived as inert. It encourages visitors to reflect on the human-soil relationship. As the veil we ourselves place is lifted, the energy of the soil is unleashed. Thaumast\u00e0 is an ephemeral sculpture, whose shape is gradually eroded by the elements and colonized by vegetation.

Is it really possible to pursue goals of combating climate change and increasing biodiversity in congested environments? The answer is yes: there are plants that can adapt to stress and water scarcity, growing at the edges of cultivated areas and near roadways. These are the Wildflowers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The garden is divided into three areas: arid, semi-arid, and lush, symbolizing rebirth through nature. A pebble path runs through the spaces, where plants, dunes, and materials create a dialogue between man and the environment. The transition evokes sustainability and regeneration, reflecting the balance between art, nature, and human work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ossimoro explores and interprets two opposing realities: the anthropized world, sterile and dark, and the natural world, full of life and color. Connecting them is a Door, a gateway to new awareness, inviting reflection not only on how a space is, but also on how it was or could become, recognizing that every action could make a difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Verde Innocentia explores the possibility of giving a new landscape identity to abandoned spaces, evoking the dialogue between human culture and plant life. It is inspired by coastal areas on the urban margins, places that seem invisible. Thus, a unique fusion is created between human artifice and nature, which with “innocentia” reclaims and fills the space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
