威尼斯双年展——走向天堂 / by GGN

在2008年的威尼斯建筑双年展上，古斯塔夫森·尼可和古斯塔夫森·波特受导演亚伦·贝茨基的委托，共同设计了这座双年展的第一个景观建筑装置。这个装置被认为是一个当代的寓言，在最广泛的意义上，它带着游客穿越尘世的困境，唤起人们失去的东西以及人与环境之间可以得到的东西。

通往天堂的地方是在阿森纳尔的尽头，那是在前圣母教堂的杂草丛生的地方，一个本笃会修女会在19世纪晚期被摧毁。这个花园讲述了过去、现在和未来的故事，它由两个主要的空间组成，这两个空间通过一个废弃的花园的茂密的杂草和废墟所清除的小路相连。在《营养》一书中，我们发现了一个传统的美食花园——身体和灵魂的寄托。在荆棘深处，是启蒙的对比，神秘的“云”把人的眼睛抬到一个明显的雕塑式的、符合人体工程学的地貌上，以反映和梦想天堂。

For the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale, Gustafson Guthrie Nichol and Gustafson Porter were jointly commissioned by Director Aaron Betsky to create the Biennale’s first-ever landscape architecture installation. The installation was conceived as a contemporary allegory in the broadest sense by taking the visitor on a journey through earthly dilemmas, evoking what has been lost and what can be gained between man and the landscape.

Towards Paradise was sited at the end of the Arsenale, within the overgrown grounds of the former Church of the Virgins, a Benedictine nunnery that was destroyed in the late 1800s. Telling a story of past, present, and future, the garden was composed of two main spaces linked by pathways cleared through the thick overgrowth and ruins of an abandoned garden. In Nourishment one discovers a traditional food garden – sustenance for body and soul. Deeper through bramble is the contrast of Enlightenment, where unearthly ‘clouds’ lift one’s eyes above a decidedly sculpted, ergonomic landform for reflection and dreams of Paradise.
