Into the Forest / Openfabric

由专筑网杜雨川，李韧编译

来自建筑事务所的描述：联合国粮农组织（FAO）举办了首届世界城市森林论坛（WFUF 2018），而Openfabric事务所则主要负责设计其中的城市中心公共空间。设计的目的是与论坛的两个不同层次相互呼应，即学术界和广大公众。该项目希望批判性地代表一些森林类型，提高人们对自然在城市环境中的重要性，以及气候变化的显著影响的认识。

Text description provided by the architects. 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.





建筑师通过模糊、并列、美感和舒适等策略，希望能够提升人们对自然的感知，同时希望这种策略能够普遍应用。

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.





原始森林

“原始森林”让人想起古老的森林在大规模向农业和城市化转型之前，广泛覆盖在Po谷（Pianura Padana）的一片古老森林。事实上，意大利北部的大部分地区很可能主要覆盖的是栎属植物为主的森林，目前，这些森林仅存在于少数作为自然保护区的小范围地区。在这里，就像在任何其他类型的森林一样，枯木和腐木是形成丰富的分解群落的关键，分解群落主要包含有细菌、真菌、昆虫和其他无脊椎动物。

Native Forest
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 urbanization. In-fact large part of Northern Italy was very likely covered by lowlands forests dominated by Quercus spp. and Carpinus betulus. The forests currently survive only in few, small patches, protected as nature reserves. Here, as in any other type of forest, dead and decaying wood (snag) is key to support a rich community of decomposers (saproxylic organisms) like bacteria and fungi, insects, and other invertebrates.



地中海森林

地中海硬叶常绿栎林借助气候、土壤和人为的条件，形成了地中海景观的各种形态和结构。优势树种为冬青栎、圆叶栎、栓皮栎、月桂和杨梅，最后两种多为灌木形态。在该地区人类社会的历史上，常绿橡树林地一直是战略资源，为当地社区提供直接和间接的商品和利益，如薪材、软木、食物和饲料、木材及住所。

Mediterranean Forest
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 to local communities, as fuelwood, cork, food and fodder, timber, shelter.







倒下的森林

“倒下的森林”是为了纪念在2018年11月2日袭击意大利东北部地区的飓风中的数百万受损树木。同时也通过一系列的灾难性景观，表达了森林所面对的热带化气候等环境影响，气候变化是现实，适当地采取措施十分必要。

The Fallen Forest
“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 (using leftovers trunks of paper production-chain). Climate change is real, action is urgent.
