威尼斯的临时玉米迷宫

威尼斯的临时玉米迷宫
A Temporary Corn Maze in Venice

第二年，在以季节性旅游为特色的海滨小镇杰索洛，一个实验性项目在夏季启动。该项目以一种不同寻常的角色展示了一个邻里花园，将娱乐和当地农业的时间动态联系在一起。在53000 mq的面积内，露天游戏的魅力与玉米植物的自然节奏和季节性相结合，玉米植物在该地区广泛种植。因此，游客和城市本身可以享受不同的综合方案，可持续且人人都能负担得起。玉米迷宫“Le Mesi”是由一位当地商人和美国公司“玉米”合作开发的，美国公司是世界上最大的专门设计和建造玉米迷宫的公司之一。第二年，一位设计玉米迷宫平面图的意大利景观设计师加入了团队。
For the second year in Jesolo, a seaside town characterized by a seasonal tourism, an experimental project comes to life during the summer. The project presents a neighborhood garden in an unusual role, linking together entertainment and time dynamics of local agriculture. In an area of 53000 mq the charm of the game in the open air meets the natural rhythms and seasonality of the corn plants, whose cultivation is widespread in this region. The visitors and the city itself can thus enjoy a different aggregative proposal, sustainable and affordable for everyone. The corn maze “Le Messi” results from a synergistic project between a local businessman and the American company “The Maize”, one of the largest companies in the world specializing in designing and building corn mazes. During the second year the team was joined by an Italian landscape architect that designed the floor plan of the corn maze.

A Temporary Corn Maze in Venice

花园由5个迷宫组成，难度越来越大。根据农业日历，实现这一目标的工作于4月开始，按照双正交计划组织了近50万粒玉米的种植。然后用位于两排之间的软管灌溉这些植物。5月，当玉米植株达到50厘米高时，根据路径设计进行了成排切割。整个设计仅从上方可见。最后，花园是一个简单但不琐碎的游戏，涉及的人很多，因为欣赏迷宫不需要特殊技能。它被认为是一个有趣的景点，但同时也有教育意义，使年轻人更接近农业。迷宫的目的显然是通过直觉、技术和创造力，在6公里的道路范围内寻找出路，就像威尼斯城周围别墅公园中的经典迷宫一样。迷宫只在六月到九月开放；在季节结束时，当打谷开始时，花园消失了，留下空地休息到第二年春天。玉米作物经过称重和检查，然后出售给收集中心，用于生产面粉和其他食品。
The garden consists of 5 mazes with increasing levels of difficulty. The works for the realization started in April, following the agricultural calendar, with the planting of nearly 500.000 corn kernels organized in a double orthogonal plan. The plants were then irrigated with hoses located between the rows. In May, when the corn plants have reached 50 centimeters of height, rows were cut according to the path designs. The complete design is visible only from above. At the end, the garden is a simple but not trivial game that involves a wide range of people, since no special skills are required to enjoy the labyrinth. It was conceived as a fun attraction but at the same time instructive, to make young people closer to agriculture. The aim of the maze is obviously to find the way out trying to orient within 6 km of paths, through intuition, technique and creativity like in the classic labyrinths located in the parks of the villas in the surroundings of the Venice city. The maze is open only from June to September; at the end of the season, when the threshing starts the garden disappears, leaving the empty land to rest until the following spring. The corn crop is weighed and checked, to be sold to collection centers for production of flour and other food products.
