Abstract

Infrastructures as high-speed railways are a contemporary debated topic with political, economic and environmental impacts. In the Alpine arc alone, located in the heart of Europe, as of today six HSR lines are planned or have been realized.Within this framework, the article probes the case of the New Rail Link through the Alps that connects Germany to Italy through Switzerland. This “Infrastructural Monument” in fact produces a number of ground movements that are affecting and shaping the ever-changing Swiss mountainous landscapes: millions of cubic meters of excavated material arising from tunnelling and construction activities are spread among the railway’s nearest territories. What could be the role of design and landscape architecture? This research is intended as an instrument to deepen the design meaning of moving ground actions, reflecting on how, millennia after the first ancestral earth mounds, these monumental earthworks could today become part of a continuously renewed poetic imagination.
移动地面
高速铁路等基础设施是当代政治、经济和环境影响的热门话题。仅在位于欧洲中心的阿尔卑斯弧形地区,到目前为止就有六条高铁线路正在规划或已经建成。在这个框架内,本文探讨了通过瑞士连接德国和意大利的阿尔卑斯山新铁路线的案例。这个“基础设施纪念碑”实际上产生了许多地面运动,影响和塑造了不断变化的瑞士山区景观:数百万立方米的挖掘材料来自隧道和建筑活动,分布在铁路最近的地区。设计和景观建筑学的作用是什么?这项研究的目的是作为一种工具来深化移动地面行动的设计意义,反思在第一个祖先土丘几千年后,这些巨大的土方工程今天如何成为不断更新的诗意想象的一部分。
