大地的印记丨意大利丨蹊径设计

《大地的印记》是由中国建筑师团队蹊径设计在意大利SMACH 2025国际竞赛中获奖并建成的装置。它源于一个想象：一个巨大的稻草卷在阿尔门塔拉的山坡上滚动、攀爬、起伏、跃动，身后留下一道道干草的痕迹。这个设想被化为现实，稻草转化为一条顺着地形蜿蜒展开的“小径”，邀请人们在行走与停留之间，去思考劳动、景观与更新的关系。

Selected as part of SMACH 2025, the international open-air art biennale in the Italian Dolomites, the installation Trace of Land, designed by ELSE, imagine a large, round hay bale traversing the slopes of Armentara, climbing, descending, leaping, and leaving a trail of dry grass behind. This poetic vision materializes in the landscape as a meandering canopy that follows the terrain, inviting reflection on labor, landscape, and renewal.

在Val Badia的高山牧场，熟悉的景象以一种陌生的方式重新出现：稻草卷舒展开来，如同一条蜿蜒小径，顺着起伏的山势延伸。远远望去，这条由稻草织就的路径，与多洛米蒂山体间天然的小路彼此呼应，仿佛融入了山脉自身的纹理。草垛跳脱出原本的实用角色，转化为一种雕塑性的存在：它曾是劳动的产物，而在这个装置中，则成为展现劳动、工具与自然关系的象征。

In the alpine pastures of Val Badia, a familiar yet transformed landscape unfolds—a continuous, meandering path of unfurled hay bales across the undulating terrain. From a distance, this straw path resonates with the mountain trails of the Dolomites, while the rising and falling geometry echoes the ridgelines of the surrounding peaks. Removed from its functional context, the hay bale becomes a sculptural intervention—once a practical product of labor, it is now a material expression of the relationship between labor, tools, and nature.

草垛常被视作田园牧歌的象征，但事实上它们是高度工业化的产物——由机械高效而精确地打捆、运输和储存。正如本届 SMACH 的主题 la cu（多洛米蒂地区 Ladin 方言中意为“磨刀石”，用于磨利收割刀具），草垛同样体现了人类劳动与土地之间的互动。从压缩的形态中释放出来，草垛沿着草甸的肌理舒展延伸；有时伏于地面，有时轻轻抬升，形成可穿行的廊道——起伏的几何与多洛米蒂山体的轮廓相互呼应，模糊了人工与自然的边界。同时，装置与场地旁的 tablà ——山谷中常见的传统木谷仓——形成了对话。从最初的诗意设想出发，它最终化为一处融入环境的景观建筑，将自然与乡土建筑交织在一起。

Often seen as picturesque remnants of agrarian life, hay bales are in fact products of industrialized processes—bundled, transported, and stored with mechanical precision. Like this year’s SMACH theme, la cu (the Ladin word for whetstone, a tool that sharpens harvesting blades), hay bales embody the reciprocal relationship between human effort and the land. Freed from their compressed form, they unfurl to trace the contours of the meadow. At times they lie directly on the ground, at other moments they rise lightly to create shaded passages—the undulating geometry echoes the contours of the Dolomite mountains, blurring the boundary between the artificial and the natural. From a poetic vision, the installation transforms into landscape architecture, dialoguing with the nearby “tablà”, the wooden barns typical of the Ladin valleys.

装置的结构保持着极简与灵活：垂直钢筋插入地面，水平钢筋将其连接成框架，表面覆盖钢丝网，并用草绳固定舒展的稻草。这样的方式轻巧而可调整，能够顺应现场地形的起伏，以最小的落地面积嵌入牧场。走近时，草料的纤维层层叠叠，粗粝中透出通透，光线从缝隙间渗入，使屋面呈现出一种既粗犷又轻盈的肌理。

The construction remains minimal and adaptable: vertical rebars are driven into the ground and tied together with horizontal steel rods to form a lightweight frame. A surface of wire mesh supports the unfurled hay, which is bound in place with grass ropes. This simple system ensures a minimal footprint, allowing the canopy to adjust to different terrains and lengths while integrating seamlessly into the pasture. Up close, the hay reveals a tactile texture—fibers layered and porous, filtering light through the canopy to create a presence that feels at once rough and delicate.

参观者可以沿着这片“屋面”行走，感受地势的起伏，也可在其下停留、聚集。矩形草垛被用作座凳，进一步强化了功能与抽象之间的对话。随着时间推移，草料逐渐腐化归于土地，作品以“回归”完成一次使用与更新的循环。

Visitors are invited to walk along and beneath the canopy, moving with the contours of the pasture, to gather, rest, and engage with the space. Rectangular hay bales provide seating, reinforcing the dialogue between function and abstraction. Over time, as the hay decays, it returns to the earth, completing a cycle of use and renewal.
