International Call

Radicepura Garden Festival – Call for Ideas 

closed (1)

“The theme that we propose this year focuses on the botanical element: no longer corollary nor simple decoration, but starting point and professional inspiration. The designers, regardless of their training, will be called to engage with a botany for landscapers, projects well declined and elegant, who can demonstrate the benefits of a quality artistic garden, modern, functional, poetic and serene. It is intended to foster debate around a different style of garden that can promote a conscious belonging to the natural world, gardens in which a sincere relationship with plants is implemented daily,”

Antonio Perazzi, artistic director Radicepura Garden Festival.

The international call is open to under 36 – individual professionals or teams of emerging architects – for the construction of 6 gardens that address the proposed theme. There is also 1 garden reserved for category over 36. The gardens will be realized in Radicepura, the botanical park in the province of Catania, in Giarre – between Etna and the Ionian Sea – in close communication with the other gardens designed by internationally renowned landscape designers and works of art. Garden designers will have the opportunity to express their creativity, making use of the most original plants grown in the Faro Plants nursery, which collects more than 3000 different species of tropical plants, fat, aromatic, Mediterranean trees and citrus. Participation in the competition is free and the 7 projects selected by the jury will have a budget of 10,000 euros between supply of plants and construction materials.
 

The first phase of the Call for Ideas has come to an end!
The quality and quantity of the projects submitted exceeded our expectations.
By November 28 will be announced the gardens, after careful assessments, go to the second phase!
