Prato della Fiera
Treviso, the Sile River and the landscape of a large public space
13-19 June 2016
The Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche, as part of its experimental activities concerning the landscape and the care for places developed by its Scientific Committee, is organising an international design workshop in conjunction with the Municipality of Treviso on the subject of the Prato della Fiera in Treviso.
The workshop is intended to be an opportunity for reflection and for heightening awareness of the theme of a large public space which is firmly enrooted in the history of the city, where the landscape dimension could provide a possible interpretation and a germinal moment for future project prospects.
The workshop will take the form of a project exploration, examining the history, current set up and uses and how an emblematic site such as this can be safeguarded, giving the city the opportunity to consider the role landscape has in its myriad spaces for collective life.
The importance of this site and the cultural and economic role it plays in the lives of the local people mean this initiative should has as wide a reach as possible and, in order to accomplish this, the Foundation will be holding a preliminary public meeting on 25 May 2016 at its headquarters for all those interested.
