Giardiningiro Torino 2009 - Temporary Gardens Competition

トリノのサン・サルヴァリオ地区の一角に20のインスタレーションを制作するコンペ。制作は今年10月8日から4日間、自己負担で行う。敷地は自由に選べ、常設となる可能性もある。

Description
The aim of the first edition of the Giardiningiro international competition is to reveal the full potential of Turin through the use of its public spaces and at the same time involve the general non-specialised public in an analysis of the contemporary status of the area’s architecture.
Each garden should carry a message and provide the visitor with a stimulating new experience through the layout of the installation and the interaction of artistry and creativity so that places that are normally ignored are reinterpreted and their special features and inherent vitality revealed.
The installations should therefore encourage visitors (both tourists and residents) to stroll around this area of the city and provide the inhabitants with a greater awareness of their environment and their place in it and with the notion that the city is something that belongs to everyone. It is also a way to launch the idea of what a city garden means and the role that it plays but without doubt the starting point should be that of bringing all sorts of different people together in an urban context.
