It is a small flowering jewel located in Castagnola, on the shores of Lake Lugano, in a very sunny position protected from cold currents.Thanks to its special #microclimate, the #park, designed in the 1930s according to the dictates of Art Nouveau, surprises with a rich Mediterranean vegetation (orange trees, lemon trees, date palms, Cycas, etc.) that can only be found in this area of #Lugano. The history of the building, like that of the #garden, is linked to the figure of Hélèn Bieber, an avant-garde dancer in Paris, who set up a social and cultural meeting centre in her Lugano home. . . È un piccolo gioiello fiorito situato a #Castagnola, sulle rive del lago di Lugano, in una posizione molto soleggiata e protetta dalle correnti fredde. Grazie al #microclima particolare, il #parco, progettato negli anni '30 del XX sec. secondo i dettami dello stile Liberty, sorprende con una ricca vegetazione mediterranea (aranci, limoni, palme da dattero, palme del Cile, Cycas, ecc.) che si trova solo in questa zona del Luganese. La storia dell'edificio, come quella del #giardino, è legata alla figura di Hélèn Bieber, ballerina d'avanspettacolo a Parigi, che attiva un centro d'incontri a carattere mondano e culturale nella sua dimora luganese. . . #villaheleneum #parc #parque #jardin #garten #jardim #tuin #switzerland #landscape #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #landscapelovers #landscapefirst #paesaggio #architetturadelpaesaggio #arquitecturadelpaisaje #paisaje #arquitecturadelpaisatge #paisatge #landschaftsarchitektur #landschaft #architecturedupaysage #paysage

Cattedrale Vegetale - Giuliano Mauri
Shaping the Ground, Gaël Glaudel x Landscape First + Liminal, Rocca di Cave, #Italy, 2024 More info: https://www.landscapefirst.com/shaping-the-ground/ . The challenge carried out by Liminal in collaboration with Gaël Glaudel x Landscape First was a journey within the agricultural fabric of the Monti Prenestini, in search of a common denominator in the #cultivation of fruit trees belonging to local species of particular interest, especially which contribute to local #biodiversity and the maintenance of a peculiar #landscape. The idea was to create an #installation that could enhance the #tree as a fundamental element of the landscape, not only from the point of view of production and ecosystem services, but also as a symbol of a #territory, a source of subsistence for generations in the past , and a new relaunch for the future. The exaltation experiment also had to focus attention on how the tree is perceived, and on the agricultural practices that accompany its growth; important practices for landscape care, which harmoniously connect production, tourism, history and nature. The desire was for the artwork to develop in an evolutionary path in stages, from a base more oriented towards the rural world to an artistic sublimation. The material used was closely linked to local nature, and for this reason chestnut leaves and curls were chosen, which were abundant in the season of creation. . . La sfida portata avanti da Liminal in collaborazione con Gaël Glaudel x Landscape First, è da considerarsi un viaggio all’interno del tessuto agricolo del Monti Prenestini, alla ricerca di un denominatore comune nella #coltivazione di alberi da frutto appartenenti a specie locali di particolare interesse, specie che contribuiscono alla #biodiversità locale e al mantenimento di un #paesaggio peculiare. L’idea era quella di creare un’#installazione che potesse esaltare l’albero quale elemento fondamentale per il paesaggio, non soltanto dal punto di vista produttivo e dei servizi ecosistemici, ma anche come simbolo di un #territorio, fonte di sussistenza per generazioni in passato, e nuovo rilancio per il futuro. L’esaltazione dell’albero doveva porre l’attenzione anche sul come l’#albero viene percepito, e sulle pratiche agricole che accompagnano la sua crescita; pratiche importanti per la cura del paesaggio, che armoniosamente mettono in connessione produzione, turismo, storia e natura. La volontà era che l’opera si sviluppasse in un percorso evolutivo a tappe, da una base più orientata verso il mondo rurale a una sublimazione artistica. Il materiale da utilizzare doveva essere strettamente legato alla natura locale, e per questo motivo si sono scelte le foglie e i ricci del castagno, abbondanti nella stagione di realizzazione. . . #shapingtheground #landscapefirst #liminal #roccadicave #montiprenestini #environmentalart #artambientale #landart #artinnature #contemporaryart #artecontemporanea #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #landscapelovers #architetturadelpaesaggio #arquitecturadelpaisaje #paisaje #arquitecturadelpaisatge #paisatge #landschaftsarchitektur #landschaft #architecturedupaysage #paysage #landschapsarchitectuur #landschap
