After the 3 days workshop we held in May together with the students of @unipd, we have now entered a second phase of our project Nature di Luce, digging into its more scientific aspects. During this workshop the students conceived a chandelier that would allow to grow a self-sufficient plant ecosystem in closed environments. We are currently funding a 6-month scientific research scholarship, after selecting @giacomo.bernello - student and researcher of the Department of Land, Environment, Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Padova- to carry out the project by researching and developing a functioning prototype that could host and nurture vegetation. The research is conducted within the centre of Agripolis in Legnaro (PD), and is focused on studying materials and technologies that are as functional as possible to the growth and the flourishing of the plants. Each element of the structure - which was initially inspired by traditional Venetian chandeliers - is also designed with the purpose of enhancing the well-being of this ecosystem. This first stage of testing led Giacomo to select plant species which are perennial, easy to grow, not very sensitive to diseases, suitable for indoor environments, and with a recognized ability to purify the air; in addition different types of soil, irrigation and lighting were tested for the cultivation of plants on the chandelier. Thank you to Giacomo Bernello and to Professor Lucia Bortolini. Also thank you to Alberto Furtack, Maria Cristina Villani and Carlo Calore.
