The Asinara National Park is an ideal location to host residential schools on landscape architecture capable of attracting experts from all over the world. Thanks to funding from the Sardinia Foundation, the exhibitions on the resilience of natural populations, presented first at the Venice Biennale and then at the Barcelona pavilion, will move to the park island, from September 26th to October 5th, with some important partners national and international, such as the Agence Ter in Paris led by Henri Bava and the Turenscape Academy, which operates mainly in China, represented by Johnny Chiu of the international firm JC Architecture and Design Studio, associated with the National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan).
There will be ten days of residential meetings that will see young professionals and students from all over the world come together on the Island of Asinara. An important opportunity for young Sardinian landscape architects who will have the opportunity to compare themselves with colleagues from different latitudes, such as Mexico, China, Australia, the Middle East, Spain and France.
In recent days the program has been developed thanks to an inspection on the island by Johnny Chiu, the extraordinary commissioner of the Park Giovanni Cubeddu, the director Vittorio Gazale and the president of the LW-Circus association, Anna Caterina Piras, have been identified the teaching rooms, laboratories and sites where ephemeral installations can be created, offering various experiments in terms of alternative cultural tourism, as well as safeguarding and conserving the island’s immense environmental heritage. The entire project path will be described through an author’s short film resulting from an artist residency and an inclusive publication in Italian and English, with virtual devices to make it accessible to all.
Last year, thanks to the collaboration between the Park Authority and the LW-Circus association, the installations on the resilience of natural populations were presented, first at Carlo Scarpa’s Sculpture Garden, within the exhibition The Laboratory of the Future, in Venice, and then in the installation The Urban green Migration, created at the prestigious Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona. A work collected in two catalogs included in the publications of the Venice Biennale.
