此次的景观设计来自 St. Horto 花园的设计竞赛，获奖作品是由OFL事务所设计完成的。该方案很好地将公园融入到周围环境当中，同时还界定了表现了与扩张的分界线，形成动感和具有吸引力的空间。

“St.Horto”是一个双关语，是介于意大利语和英语之间，两个词汇“Horto”和“St”同时意味着神圣的花园，或者如同一棵植物一样，虽然有些畸形和杂乱，却充满了生机。两者加在一起，便代表了虽然不规则（畸形或者倾斜）但得到有效高度控制的建筑设计。

这以设计概念来源于对生活中旋转事物的观察，如机械的（羊毛作坊）和手工的（纺锤）等。这两种因素被再次诠释和结合到项目当中，以木质的柱子和白色帆布绳来表现。整个花园都是由这种形式的模块组合而来，营造出一种无穷无尽的感觉。同样的，绘画、音乐和电影等各种艺术门类也能采用这样的几何图形，营造出不对称但又均衡，不规则但又和谐的独特的视觉效果。

这种不对称但又均衡，不规则但又和谐的独特的景观效果为儿童创造了新的体验。通向花园的路径位于屋顶的西侧，从那里参观者可以进入到各种三角形形成的空间当中，并由此穿越了一条富含教育意味的路径。花园里还安装了可以监控植物实时生长的传感器。

Stemming from the idea of creating a perfect synergy between architecture, nature and social technologies, the competition winning proposal for the St. Horto project by OFL Architecture fits perfectly within the project area in Rome. By redefining the boundaries through a game of compressions and expansions, the architects create a dynamic and attractive space. More images and architects’ description after the break.

The name “St. Horto” is a pun, between Italian and English language. The two words “Horto” and “St” give at the same time the idea of a sacred, intimate garden and of something crooked, apparently disordered but full of life, just like a plant. Together they represent the irregular geometry (crooked or oblique) but highly controlled architectural design of the garden. The concept comes to life from the observation of spinning methods: mechanical (woolen mill) and manual (spindle or mistaff).

These two elements have been reinterpreted and incorporated into the project and represented by wooden poles and ropes of white canvas. The triangular tanks containing the real garden are obtained by the repetition of three modules, which in combination create endless compositions.In line with the Lanificio’s inner cultural activities, we have chosen to adopt this geometry by the analogy with various forms of art: painting, drawing, music, cinema.

The architecture plays a fundamental role: spaces which are asymmetric but proportionate, uneven but harmonic, create unusual tactile, olfactory and visual perspectives designed to facilitate a complete and suitable experience for children. The access to the garden is on the west side of the roof, in front of the entrance to the terrace. From here you can immerge yourself in a space characterized by a succession of energetic triangulations, full and empty, which follow one another along a path of particular educational functions.

The innovative feature of St. Horto is definitely its integration with the 2.0 technology through a customized project. Inspired by other projects of interactive gardens with sensors and thanks to the direct experience of Alberto Serra, creator of Jardimpu, it was decided to install a technology allowing realtime monitoring of the growing plants in the garden, through the use of hardware tools (Arduino with sensors and webcam) and software. In three particular points of the garden, we use steel cables which become veritable harp instruments.

The St. Horto project combines four inseparable factors among them: functionality, aesthetics, production and teaching. The production is essential in the designed layout. Inside the tanks the usable area for cultivation is 115 square meters (flexible for future expansions) and is therefore enough for a real farming production, not only purely educational/disciplinary.
