Gli alberi sono un modello da seguire. A Modena c’è un festival che lo conferma
The Alberi Festival in Modena transforms the Villaggio Artigiano Ovest into an open-air laboratory focused on the intersection of botany, architecture, and urban planning. Inspired by the seminal 1960s research of Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi, the event features exhibitions, installations, and discussion tables centered around the "Officina Botanica," an experimental green regeneration project housed in a former industrial warehouse.
This festival matters because it advocates for a radical shift in urban design, viewing trees as structural architectural elements rather than mere aesthetic ornaments. By integrating archival materials, contemporary art, and physical tree-planting initiatives, the project highlights the growing importance of ecological urbanism and the role of artistic archives in solving modern environmental challenges.
