JOAO NUNES, SITE SPECIFIC
Open lecture by João Nunes
On Friday 28 November, at 12:30 pm in the former Sos Enattos mine in Lula (NU), Portuguese landscape architect João Nunes, founder of the PROAP studio and full professor at the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, will hold an open lecture entitled ‘Site Specific: Possible strategies for the Einstein Telescope science park’.
The lecture is part of the ET WORKSHOP | BEYOND UNDERGROUND [ILS 2025 – Villard 27] event programme, organised on 27-28-29 November 2025 in implementation of the institutional agreement between the Autonomous Region of Sardinia (RAS) and the University of Cagliari (UNICA), aimed at supporting the coordination and promotion of Italy’s bid to establish the Einstein Telescope (ET) in the disused mining site of Sos Enattos, in the territory of Lula, Sardinia (Scientific Director: Massimo Faiferri).
These days will see the participation of around a hundred students from 14 architecture schools engaged in the 27th edition of the Villard seminar on the study of inland areas of Italy. The scientific infrastructure of the Einstein Telescope represents a unique case study in the national landscape, offering an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between underground infrastructure and surface architecture in order to integrate the ET telescope into the territorial and landscape context of an inland area of Sardinia.
