Join the Competition GIARDININGIRO!
Giardiningiro is an international event taking place in Torino (Italy), from 9 to 11 October 2009.
Giardiningiro is a project born on the initiative of Michela Pasquali and it aims at creating twenty temporary garden installations in the city of Turin, Italy, namely in the district called San Salvario, nearby the river Po. The project also includes a cultural program of book presentations, workshops and activities to promote the creation of gardens in the disused areas of the town and to raise awareness and encourage an active debate as regards urban development and transformation.
Giardini is part of a wider energy campaign called Uniamo le energie, sustained by Regione Piemonte (Piedmont Regional Government).
Inspired to the popular event Lausanne Jardin Giardiningiro is willing to understand trends and needs in contemporary landscape architecture. It will be the first Italian event dedicated to this subject and it wishes to raise a debate on the opportunities that our cities have to house new behaviours in urban environment.
