2024 年国际花园节丨加拿大魁北克丨多位设计师

第 25 届国际花园节的主题是“可能性的生态”，现已向公众开放。值此 25 周年之际，艺术总监 Ève De Garie-Lamanque 邀请设计师们畅想花园的未来。今年的展览将持续到 10 月 6 日，共展出 27 个当代花园，其中包括 6 个新花园，以及一个永久性装置凉亭和两个室外项目。

The 25th edition of the International Garden Festival, titled The Ecology of Possibility, is now open to the public. On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, Ève De Garie-Lamanque, Artistic Director, invited designers to imagine the future of the garden. This year’s edition, which will run until October 6, showcases 27 contemporary gardens, including 6 new ones, as well as a permanent installation (Pergola) and 2 extramural projects (FolkFLORE and Repairia / Riparia).

主题：可能性的生态

Theme | The Ecology of Possibility

在我们看来，今天的花园（无论是私人花园还是公共花园）都负有社会责任。花园是可持续的，它保护并支持生物多样性。我们在严格挑选植物时，会考虑每个物种的特殊需要和行为，以及它们之间的相互作用。此外，还仔细研究了待开发场地的特征及其随季节的变化。根据这些思想和当前情况，花园的未来是团结一致的吗？它是基于一种关系性的跨学科方法吗？我们敢打赌，花园的未来将在与生活的真正对话中形成。

It seems to us that the garden of today (be it private or public) has a social responsibility. Sustainable, it preserves and supports biodiversity. Plants are rigorously selected after considering the specific needs and behaviours of each species and how they interact. The characteristics of the site to be developed, and their evolution over the seasons, are also carefully studied. In light of these ideologies and present circumstances, is the future of the garden a united one? Is it based on a relational, cross-disciplinary approach? We would like to wager that the future of the garden will be forged from genuine dialogue with the living.

2024 年国际花园节的新花园：

窸窣的翅膀声

Bruissement d’ailes

设计者：Bernard Chapuis，Georges Vafias

法国 France

Bruissement d’ailes 着重强调了返璞归真、尽可能亲近自然环境的必要性。气候变化和自然栖息地的破坏——这是世界温带地区目前面临的新挑战。脆弱性、不平衡性和不确定性已成为当今时代的主流，这就要求我们每个人都要适应不断变化的气候，尽一切可能减缓气温升高带来的有害影响，重新思考我们的行为，与热岛效应作斗争，并采用新的或传统的方法来解决水和树荫稀缺的问题。Bruissement d’ailes 鼓励游客重拾与自然的关系，在三面精心制作的风帆的荫凉下驻足片刻，这三面风帆就像睡莲池塘上伸展的翅膀。

Bruissement d’ailes highlights the need to get back to basics, to be as close as possible to our natural environment. Climate change and the destruction of natural habitats—these are the new conditions that the world’s temperate zones are now facing. Fragility, imbalance and uncertainty are now the order of the day, requiring each and every one of us to adapt to a changing climate by doing everything possible to temper the harmful effects of rising temperatures, by rethinking our behaviour, by battling heat islands, and by using new or traditional ways to address the problem of water and shade scarcity. Bruissement d’ailes encourages visitors to rekindle their relationship with nature and to pause for a moment in the shade of three elaborate sails, like outstretched wings over a waterlily pond.

自然的色彩

Couleur Nature

设计者：Vanderveken, Architecture + Paysage

魁北克，加拿大 Saint-Lambert, QC, Canada

“自然的色彩”是对花园在我们的社会中扮演怎样的角色的严肃研究，它将大片的实用的草坪、我们私人的休闲设备（较低的社会和生态指标）和沉浸式花园（较低的反思和生态指标）进行比较。装置并部试图去比较自然和文化或者自然与人造之间的关系。实际上，它试图将两种对于花园的愿景并列起来，展示占主导地位的单一文化的荒谬性，从总体上说，这种文化除了让人类在浇水、修剪草坪和填满游泳池的永恒循环中获得满足感之外，没有任何用处，而这种循环导致了我们生物多样性的逐渐减少。

Couleur Nature is a curious study into the roles gardens play in our society, comparing the great swaths of utilitarian lawn and our individual leisure devices (with poor social and ecological indicators) with contemplative gardens (with high reflexive and ecological indicators). The installation does not attempt to compare nature with culture or the natural with the artificial. In fact, it strives to juxtapose the two visions of the garden, demonstrating the absurdity of a dominant monoculture which, in general terms, has no use apart from simply enabling humans to experience satisfaction watering and mowing their lawn and filling their swimming pools on a perpetual cycle that contributes to the gradual decline of our biodiversity.

除了从消毒、洒水的室外空间到凌乱、不断变化的室内空间的惊喜之外，Couleur Nature 还促使参观者重新考虑他们与时间和环境的关系。游泳池或修剪整齐的草坪与花园里的环境不同——不同的环境激发不同的活动、不同的精神状态和不同的步调。

Besides the surprise of moving from a sanitized, watered-down outdoor space to the dishevelled, ever-changing beauty of the indoor space, Couleur Nature prompts visitors to reconsider their relationship with time and the environment. Coming together around a swimming pool or manicured lawn is not the same as coming together in a garden – the environments provoke different activities, different states of mind and different paces.

未来漂移 Future drifts 设计者：Julia Lines Wilson 美国 United States 在首届国际花园节举办的那一年，圣劳伦斯 2000 年远景行动计划确定了重点保护的植物物种。其中一个物种是安蒂科斯提紫菀（symphyotrichum anticostense），它是纽约紫菀（symphyotrichum novi-belgii var.novi-belgii）和蔺草紫菀（symphyotrichum boreale）的杂交种。25 年后，尽管对栖息地进行了保护，但安蒂科斯特紫菀和蔺草紫菀仍然是濒危物种。这个花园是一个关于过去和未来的问题。如果纽约紫菀和蔺草紫菀再次相遇，会是什么样子？这些物种的相互作用会播下怎样的未来？当人们走过这个花园时，会沉浸在被沙丘编织围栏挡住的紫菀花丛中。栅栏同时也是一条道路，紫菀（和其他自发生长的植被）可以在其间生长。沿着这条小路反复行走，有助于确定植物可以移动多远。

The year of the first International Garden Festival, priority plant species were identified for habitat protection in the St. Lawrence Vision 2000 Action Plan. One of the species was the Anticosti Aster (symphyotrichum anticostense), a cross between New York (symphyotrichum novi-belgii var. novi-belgii) and Rush (symphyotrichum boreale) Asters. 25 years later, despite habitat protections, the Anticosti and Rush Asters remain imperiled species. This garden is posed as a question on the past and future. If New York and Rush Asters crossed again, what would that look like? What possible futures can be sown by these species’ interactions? As people walk through this garden, they are immersed in drifts of Asters, held back by woven dune fencing. The fencing also acts as a path that asters (and other spontaneous vegetation) can grow up between. Repeated foot traffic along the path will help define how far the plants can drift.

编织故事 Histoires à tisser

设计者：Shaza Bazzi, Maëlle Bellemin,the UQAM’sDESS en design

蒙特利尔，魁北克，加拿大 Montréal, QC, Canada

编织故事装置采用从扩建场地花园中回收的绳索制作而成，邀请游客坐在顶篷下，扎根于当下。通过两个圆形模块，它汲取了将我们彼此联系在一起的元素，无论我们的背景和出身如何。它成为一个安全的港湾，在这里，过去的丝线与现在的丝线交织在一起，编织出新的叙事。参观者可以坐在两张网之间，让自己迷失在故事的网络中。

Made in part of rope recuperated from the Augmented Groundsgarden, Histoires à tisser invites visitors to sit under its canopy and become rooted in the present moment. With two circular modules, it draws on what links us to each other, regardless of our backgrounds and origins. It becomes a safe harbour, where the threads of the past meet those of the present to weave new narratives. Visitors are invited to sit between two net meshes and let themselves get lost in the web of stories.

凉亭

Pergola

设计者：Jérôme Lapierre Architecte

蒙特利尔，魁北克，加拿大 Montréal, QC, Canada

正值 25 周年之际，国际花园节邀请 Jérôme Lapierre 建筑事务所设计一处可以标记入口的凉亭。该凉亭展现了对传统上用于为攀援植物提供遮荫和支撑的小型花园结构的现代转译。凉亭由红橡木交织而成的薄壁构成，旨在赞美和展示周围花园的光影效果，形成一个过滤器，展现场地的真正美景。

On the occasion of its twenty-fifth edition, the International Garden Festival asked Jérôme Lapierre Architecte to design a small pavilion to mark its entrance. Pergola offers a contemporary reimagining of the small garden structure traditionally used to provide shade and support for climbing plants. Made of thin walls of interwoven red oak slats, it seeks to celebrate and showcase the play of light and shadow in the surrounding gardens, creating a filter that reveals the true beauty of the site.

Liereman 街

Rue Liereman | Organ Man Street

设计者：Pioniersplanters

比利时 Belgium

花园的潜力不应该被忽略，它是巨大的。在 Flanders 这样一个人口稠密的城市化地区，家庭或私人花园（约有 200 万个）所占的土地比例估计为 12%。这相当于该地区非住宅自然区域总面积的四倍。因此，只要设计和维护得当，家庭花园就有可能帮助减少气候变化的影响，阻止生物多样性的减少，鼓励人们重新与大自然建立联系。

The potential of gardens should not be overlooked. It is simply huge. In such a densely populated and urbanized area such as Flanders, the fraction of land occupied by domestic or private gardens (of which there are approximately 2 million) is estimated to be 12%. That’s four times the total surface area of non-residential natural areas in the region. As such, as long as they are designed and maintained naturally, domestic gardens have the potential to help reduce the effects of climate change and halt the impoverishment of biodiversity, encouraging people to reconnect with nature.

根据这一观察结果，设计师在国际花园节的场地上再造了一个比利时花园。这个装置从欧洲一个中等城市的城市结构中提取出来，植入 Grand-Métis 地区，成为了一个 mise en abyme，一个园中园——加拿大景观中的一个全新实体。

This observation led to the recreation of a Belgian garden on the site of the International Garden Festival, Quebec. Extracted from the urban fabric of a medium-sized European city and implanted in Grand-Métis, the installation becomes a mise en abyme, a garden within a garden — an entirely new entity in the Canadian landscape.

Superstrata

设计者：mat-on

意大利 Italy

该装置的关键概念是根状系统，正如法国理论家Deleuze 和 Guattari 在他们的研究中所描述的那样，在根状系统中，等级被水平性所取代，使知识、联系和可能性有了新的交流方式。在这一理论中，该提案探讨了人与自然的二元性：如果我们作为人类，认为有必要将秩序强加于世界，那么自然将会藐视固定的结构和边界。地质图尤其适用于表达这一观点。它们通过地层线描绘出错综复杂的图案，象征着大自然的非线性，与“去领土化”（Deleuze & Guattari）——打破固定边界的概念不谋而合。人类远未实现这一点，他们需要分析性地叠加传统秩序。

The installation’s pivotal concept is the rhizomatic system, as French theorists Deleuze and Guattari describe in their research, where hierarchies are substituted by horizontality enabling new ways of interchanging knowledge, connections, and possibilities. In this scenario, the proposal investigates the duality of human-nature: if we, as humans, feel the need to impose order on the world, nature defies fixed structures and boundaries. Extremely suitable to express this idea are geological maps. They portray intricate patterns through stratigraphic lines, symbolizing the non-linearity of nature and aligning with the concept of deterritorialization(Deleuze & Guattari) – the breaking away from fixed boundaries. Humans are far from achieving this. They need to analytically superimpose a conventional order.
