A cyborg landscape
The goal of the applied research has been to overcome the gap between landscape and machines trying to imagine a hybrid joint able to support a new dynamic relationship where these dichotomies are blurred. The Plant’chine spatial system project, born after an analysis of the concept of cyborg landscapes tries to imagine a self-sufficient space where new techno-natural processes can occur. The spatial system would be able to find a new relationship with the natural environment, create a new landmark for the company allowing it to be more recognizable and approachable to the external public, and mitigate its CO2 emissions and other environmental issues described in the new European ecological taxonomy. The new Marchesini cyborg landscape imagines a space where plants can grow, new solar energy harvested and botanical studies can take place, creating a virtuous circle allowing the company to be more sustainable in the environment.
