From the Architect Report: The Treetop Walk in Hamaren Activity Park offers all nature lovers, regardless of age, disability or physical limitation, a new perspective on the mountainous pine forest of Fyresdal at 15 meters in the air. The canopy walkway in the historic region, known for its islands and fjords, is the first of its kind in Norway.The one kilometer long and two meters wide plank boardwalk extends on pillars all the way from the forest floor, along lake Fyresvatn, up between the treetops, along the mountain ridge and up to the summit of Klokkarhamaren. At the end of the trail, a considerable circular viewpoint with a diameter of 50 meters provides a spectacular 360-degree view over the pine forest, clear lakes and rock formation that make up the natural landscape. “The real task before us was to reconnect people with nature and create a design that would enhance the experience of the visitors – taking them on a slow and poetic walk through the forest canopy, culminating in a rush of excitement as they take in a scenic view of lake against sky at 60 meters above lake water level. Although it is a small gesture in the bigger picture, we hope that granting people free and universal access to experience the sublime nature of this site, can serve as an example for others.” explained Tue Foged, one of the two founders of Copenhagen-based EFFEKT.The wooden boardwalk structure is carefully designed as a response to the curvature of the mountain, sometimes following the mountain’s ridges and slopes, and sometimes bending out, creating viewpoints and dramatic drops where visitors can feel the wind in the treetops.The walking trail, which is universally designed with a gentle incline, is suitable for pedestrians, cyclists, pushchairs and wheelchairs. It grew out of a heartfelt desire to give all people, regardless of physical abilities, the sensational feeling of walking amongst the treetops, according to Monica Sølyst, Project Lead at Faun Naturforvaltning.The loadbearing structure as well as the boardwalk and railing are made from locally sourced pinewood. This way the structure literally blends in with existing pine trees on the mountain, sometimes giving the visual impression that the boardwalk levitates through the forest.To fulfill the vision of creating an experience that would add to the already beautiful natural setting and not destroy it, the EFFEKT team met up with local contractor Inge Aamlid. Together they invented a simple wooden building system that is used throughout the whole tree-top walk. It uses only small and straight pre-fabbed elements, that can easily be handled with small machinery and by hand on site, to protect the nature during the building process. When joined together the segments form an organic shape that bends around the trees and along the mountain. The building system made it possible for Aamlid to build the recreational walkway on location, using local timber and local craftsmanship techniques, nodding to the logging era in Fyresdal.“We developed the design of the treetop walk during the pandemic lockdown, which meant no site visits. Instead, we had to send over GPS coordinates from topographic maps to Fyresdal Municipality who in turn took pictures of the landscape, allowing us to adjust the route according to the learnings from the actual site. The process resulted in 3D-models, which enabled our local contractor to build the design of the boardwalk very precisely in the challenging terrain. We are quite amazed with the result of this beautiful co-creation process with Fyresdal Municipality and the local contractor!” Said Foged.

From the Architect Report: The project for the new Jardín Escénico is generated from the site’s own resources, respecting the pre-existing trees and without generating waste.

The strategy is clear: in the spaces free of trees, the soil is dug first and then added elsewhere, transforming the plot into a landscape of low hills and lakes. This topographic complexity generates a series of public spaces of intimate scale, favoring multiple outdoor activities.

At the same time, the topography itself allows for the necessary acoustic and visual protection in the areas that require it. This way, the Jardín Escénico aims to attract the community and act as a cultural and natural laboratory in the heart of the city.

The topography of the Jardín also facilitates the management of the water resources of the site, being possible to store them in the generated ponds. The small variations in height of the terrain naturally produce diverse scenarios that favor biodiversity in the Jardín Escénico. The project follows two main strategies to integrate its architecture into nature.

On the one hand, the program is fragmented into three pavilions, blurring the boundaries between architecture and landscape, between interior and exterior.

The auxiliary program of the pavilions is located inside the hills, ensuring the functionality of the Pavilions while enjoying nature as a backdrop.

The second strategy involves defining the Pavilions through a minimal gesture: a performative roof that rests on the landscape and acts as a symbol.

The three Pavilions generate life beyond their spaces, relating to the Jardín Escénico, multiplying its possibilities of use, generating unexpected programs and contributing to the civic and cultural discourse of Mexico City.

Hoowave Water Factory

From the Architect Report:The Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs has selected MVRDV’s Hoowave Water Factory as the winning design for a large-scale redevelopment of Huwei’s Beigang River and Anqingzhen waterways. Combining both a strategic masterplan and a landscape design, the proposal aims to modernise the town’s waterway network, ditching the purely mono-functional approach that controls and directs water. Instead, the town will soon have a system that captures and stores water for use and gives space to the river, to nature, and to urban life. The masterplan gives the town a comprehensive strategy for flood resilience while improving the quantity and quality of the town’s available water, as well as integrating mobility networks such as cycle paths, cultural amenities, and ecological systems to create new connections between Huwei, its citizens, nature, and the river. An inland town of around 70,000 people located on the Beigang River, Huwei developed in the early 19th century around its sugar factory. While the sugar factory still operates, a connected alcohol factory was closed in the 1970s, becoming overgrown with tropical vegetation. Today

the factory grounds, along with a dike built to protect the town from the river’s floods, form a significant barrier between Huwei and the Beigang River. The town also suffers from water pollution resulting from its urban and agricultural growth, and is unprepared for the more extreme floods and droughts that will come as a result of climate change.

The design focuses on five goals: the new Huwei water system will be resilient, ecological, connected, cultural, and – given that completion is expected as early as 2026 – feasible. It proposes the addition of a series of localised, naturally cleaned water buffers throughout the city, with the majority placed on larger, publicly owned properties such as schools to streamline their implementation. It also aims to purify and naturalise the Anqingzhen Channel, an irrigation canal running through (and in places, beneath) the town that has come to serve as a polluted and smelly wastewater drain. The cleaned and naturalised canal provides the opportunity to open the disused portions of the factory, creating a park space in the heart of the town. By doing so, the Anqingzhen Channel can return to its former status as an important focus for leisure activities.

“By combining aquatic interventions with mobility and cultural attractions, we open the embankments of the river and canal to the town”, says MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas. “Water buffers reduce runoff and help to increase biodiversity and to keep up with climate changes. Our design offers accessibility to riparian leisure spaces and cultural places, generating a more meaningful connection between people and nature… a wonderful resilience.”

Transforming the dike to the south of the town’s core into an accessible urban space, the design creates connections to the waterside, opening up the area between the river and the dike for further uses such as viewing platforms and sports fields. The uses in this area, now called Beigang River Park, are carefully considered along multiple criteria: split into multiple sections, they synergise with the town districts on the other side of the dike, while also taking into account the expected frequency of floods at various distances from the river. Three new cycle routes are also added that use the now-accessible dike as their spine: one 2.7-kilometre loop around the boundary of the sugar factory; one 6.4-kilometre

loop along the dike and back along the riverbank; and one 8.4-kilometre loop that connects the heart of the town to the Pinghe Flood Detention Pond in the east.

In addition to the Beigang River Park, the plan elaborates on two more zones of specific focus. The proposal for the Anqingzhen Waterland shows how a naturalised Anqingzhen Channel can become part of a forested park in the disused zones of the Sugar Factory premises. Part of the city-wide flood control system designed to retain, purify, and reuse rainwater for leisure and biodiversity, the water levels of the Anqingzhen Channel here will vary according to the seasons, creating small islands for a number of leisure activities. Meanwhile, the Pinghe Lake design proposes that what is currently a flood detention pond can become an ecology hotspot, and a destination on the edge of the city for walkers and cyclists. Hoowave Water Factory gives water quality and health the same priority as culture and economy. Improved infrastructure and healthy ecological systems with integrated cultural amenities will make the river landscape more attractive, linking the city and the natural environment in a way that benefits all.

Walk the TalkWalk The Talk

From the Architect Report : Italo Rota and CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati present “Walk the Talk”, an installation which dramatically transforms Milan’s Botanical Garden into a 3500 square-meter interactive game. Over 400 energyharvesting luminescent tiles form multiple pathways and crossroads, engaging players in the discourse underlying the future of urban mobility. Developed for Eni, the project is on view during Milan Design Week .

Architect Italo Rota and international design and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati have unveiled a project for Milan Design Week 2023 that transforms the city’s Botanical Garden into the largest game board in the world. Designed as an accessible “choose your own path” adventure, “Walk the Talk” challenges players to discover and reflect on everyday choices for a sustainable mobility. The installation features energy-harvesting tiles that produce dynamic light and sound effects during day and night. The project is developed for global energy company Eni as part of the

Design Week’s INTERNI Re-evolution exhibition, The “Walk the Talk” path is structured as a metaphorical stroll around Milan, featuring the city’s major landmarks. It is made up of over 400 wooden tiles and 32 different types of icons spread across 3500 square meters. Each one represents either an obstacle or a solution to the game’s theme of urban mobility: from traffic to public transportation and electric car sharing. Players – either alone or in tandem with others – navigate their way through the city by finding sustainable solutions to challenges such as overcrowded neighborhoods or lack of pedestrian areas. Their route depends on the choices they make, as they encounter various crossroads and intersections along the way.

The path’s colored tiles are produced with a combination of special luminescent varnishes and films which harvest and store energy during the day and release a prolonged glow after dusk. This glowing effect is enhanced by a low-intensity lighting system throughout the garden, adding an atmospheric

quality to the space and allowing visitors to play the game after dark. The “Walk the Talk” path is designed along with game designer collective Blob Factory Gaming studio, and with graphic design concept by studio FM milano.

“Walk the Talk” uses the gaming framework to form a dialogue between the visitor and Milan’s much-loved Botanical Garden. It provides a participatory way to engage with this historical location and with the city, as well as an experience that people can share.” says Italo Rota, founder of Italo Rota Building Office.

“The future of mobility presents substantial challenges which require collective understanding and participation,” says Carlo Ratti, founding partner at CRA and director of the MIT Senseable City Lab: “At a time when digital gamification is everywhere, we wanted to experiment with a physical game board - one of the largest ever made. “Walk the Talk” is an accessible experience to help jumpstart an important conversation about the future of mobility.”

Slim studio

From the Architect Report : MAST was engaged by the Municipality of Segrate to transform the former sand quarry into a new central park, connecting the disparate surrounding neighbourhoods and offering a new destination for the residents of Milan to retreat into nature,

The 1km wide, 60m deep sand quarry has been inactive for years, leaving behind a unique landscape encircled by industrial remnants and overgrown vegetation. MAST’s proposal envisions a series of buildings along the lake’s perimeter, linked by a public walkway and a cluster of islands floating at the centre of the lake.

The buildings, which were envisaged as small nodes along the branching wooden walkway, include a spa, a restaurant and a boat rental station. The spa and boat rental station will be built on floating foundations providing access to the crystal clear lake water despite the fluctuating water levels, which can vary by up to 2 meters depending on groundwater levels and rainfall.

The boat rental station will offer low-power electric boats for visitors to navigate the lake and discover the floating forests at its centre.

The largest of these islands includes an elevated ampitheatre at its centre offering a unique location for performances and public events. the smaller islands, which are moored to the lake bottom but allowed to drift within a limited radius, provide a unique place for picnics and private events. A fine dining restaurant perched on the rim of the lake with a panoramic view over the islands.

The buildings will be pre-fabricated using timber portal frames and will be clad entirely in locally sourced timber which will be left untreated to fade over time and settle into the natural surroundings

MAST co-founder Marshall Blecher highlights the pioneering aspect of the development, stating, “The project represents the first of its kind in Italy, an innovative development that unlocks access to the unique natural setting.”

MAST is currently working in partnership with the Municipality of Segrate toward realising the project.
