The shed that Dordoni Architetti has recently completed at Cavenago di Brianza The typical box-like volume is clad with natural materials in subdued shades that allow it to blend into the countryside and not cut too poor a figure in comparison with Santa Maria in Campo a 13th-century monumental complex located just a few hundred metres away And Planet Farms is one of the few vertical farming enterprises in Italy A start-up that is the end result of six years of work on the part of two managers in their forties “Here we produce between 30 and 50 thousand packages of salad and herbs a day,” explains Travaglini water and mineral salts that makes them sprout and turn into plants In comparison with traditional agricultural production the vertical farm permits an enormous reduction in land and water use While constant illumination guarantees continual production.” Widespread in the United States and the Far East – but growing in numbers in Europe too – vertical farms represent a great resource for the future of agriculture In a world that is heading for a population of 10 billion guaranteeing healthy and fresh food for everyone is fundamental And with mega-states like China and India continuing to grow it will be necessary to double the current production of food within a few decades to keep up This is where vertical farms come in: precision operations a hundred times more efficient than traditional agriculture where plants grow in controlled environments on stacks that multiply the useful area making a zero-food-miles supply possible and reducing logistics to a minimum “Seventy per cent of the overall consumption of water is due to the agricultural sector,” Travaglini goes on “With our short supply chain we use 95 per cent less than traditional agriculture.” tradizionale» This is counterbalanced by the heavy consumption of electricity (met in part by the system of photovoltaic panels) as to ensure a cycle of 20 days from sowing to harvest the plants have to be illuminated night and day And so automated that the hand of the person who opens the packet of Planet Farms salad (already distributed today by Esselunga and a number of other retailers) is the first to come into contact with the leaves as the whole process up until that moment has been carried out by robotic arms and conveyer belts there is something mysterious about the heart of the operation in Cavenago are elegant and contemporary settings in which expanses of wood with a marked grain contrast with grey furniture and the odd touch of yellow This was the choice of the co-founder of Dordoni Architetti Luca Zaniboni who was also the author with Matteo Cerini of the skin of the building “The external and purely decorative larch portico is a tribute to the brick jalousies of Lombard farmhouses we have alternated moulded panels of concrete coloured in mass with oxides and microperforated sheet metal to screen the windows The aim was to get it to blend into the agricultural setting in all seasons.” and website in this browser for the next time I comment Abitare.it e Style.corriere.it rifiutando tutti i cookie di profilazione ad eccezione di quelli tecnici necessari

medium-format film with a particular interest in the relationship between people and landscapes “Transumanza,” explores the lives of shepherds and their flocks in the Po Valley of northern Italy examining how their historic traditions have changed in response to globalization and an ever-shifting landscape Carnelli and his family would often find themselves stuck in their car stranded in a sea of sheep as the flocks made their regular journeys between their Alpine summer pastures and their winter the shepherds' paths are constantly shifting as new roads are built “Knowledge of these routes is only ever shared orally between the shepherds,” Carnelli explained “They're always in movement — there's no stable to go back to The flock of Andrea Galbusera crossing the centre of Lecco The flock of Andrea Galbusera about to cross the Adda river bridge (Lecco) Carnelli chose to shoot this project on medium-format Kodak Portra film using his beloved Mamiya 7 II It's not a normal choice for a documentary project but considering the subject and the importance of the landscape in his work the amount of detail captured by the Mamiya and the lively warm quality of the film made it a perfect choice for Carnelli despite having a subject — or a thousand — in continuous movement the flow of the flock was slow and predictable allowing him time to compose each of the images very carefully without wasting too many shots Carnelli finds that the Mamiya 7 II is the perfect choice for engaging with his (human) subjects “It's like a big plastic toy camera,” he explained “This really helped when I approached the shepherds as it was easier for them to forget my role as a ‘professional’ photographer giving the sessions a more relaxed and spontaneous feel.” Shepherd Omar Grassenis resting after lunch Shepherd Daniele Savoldelli and his assistants crossing a parking lot near motorway A4 with their flock Carnelli built up a relationship with the shepherds and they came to learn what he was most interested in At first they didn't understand why he wanted to photograph them in the urbanized lowlands as typically photographers portrayed them the epitome of bucolic they realized that he was interested in showing the struggles of their everyday lives we're crossing an abandoned quarry tomorrow do you want to come along?’” said Carnelli You can view more from of his
