The For Forest Innovation Park is getting going: An architectural competition has just started and reputable international architects are participating. A high-ranking jury will decide on the winning concept in September. The 300 trees that once stood as an art installation in a football stadium in Klagenfurt will then find a new home in Tullnerfeld at the new For Forest Innovation Park.

Today is the 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀! 🌳🌏🌲

Established by the United Nations in 2012, the international day of forests aims to raise awareness for forests around the globe.

Today, we would like to share with you a special film by 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗯𝘂𝘀. This talented film-maker takes us back to autumn 2019, when 299 trees occupied Klagenfurt's football stadium. He took time to ask visitors about their impressions of the forest, and what it meant to them on a personal level.

On this international day of forests, take 30min to rediscover Klaus Littmann's temporary art intervention with insightful words and stunning images!

Could lab-grown plant tissue ease the environmental toll of logging and agriculture? MIT researchers have proposed a method for growing plant-based materials, like wood and fiber, in a lab. The technology is still in early development but might one day help reduce the environmental footprint of some types of agriculture.

Mammutaufgabe - Café-Eiles-Baum erfolgreich umgepflanzt 18/02/2021

In Vienna, an over 80-year-old sycamore was moved overnight... 🌙. Construction work for an underground meant it was going to be cut down, but activists came together and had it moved in time.

Unfortunately, 70 other fellow trees weren't as lucky. The trees are supposed to be replaced.

FOR FOREST has a great new logo! ✨
🌳 Designed by Agentur Werbereich, this logo is an interpretation of the “Voice for Trees”.
🔶 The lush mixed forest which dominates the picture is strengthened by the symmetry of its structure.
💚 The interplay of horizontal and vertical lines reminds us of the waveform produced by a sound... By the forest’s sound reverberating in the trees, bouncing off their branches to reach you.

We are only here to amplify it. 🔊

A FOREST IN A FOOTBALL STADIUM

„FOR FOREST – The Unending Attraction of Nature” is a temporary art intervention by Klaus Littmann that will turn the Wörthersee Stadium in Klagenfurt into Austria‘s largest public art installation from 8 September until 27 October 2019.

Using 300 trees, some of which weigh up to six tonnes, landscape architect Enzo Enea will cover the entire playing field with a mixed forest characteristic of Central Europe.

From the grandstands, visitors can admire the spectacle of the trees day and night (from 10am until 10pm). Admission is free. A sight that is as unfamiliar as it is fascinating and bound to stir up a range of emotions and reactions! Depending on the time of day (or night), the trees will constitute a constantly changing landscape that is shaped by the weather as well as the autumnal turning of the leaves. The installation is a clever play on our emotions when faced with what should be a familiar sight, placed in an entirely different context. With this monumental work of art, Littmann challenges our perception of nature and sharpens our awareness of the future relation between nature and humankind.

The project also sees itself as a warning: One day, we might have to admire the remnants of nature in specially assigned spaces, as is already the case with zoo animals.
