The invention is exhibited in the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale: the terraforming device, designed by the OFL Architecture studio, detects the amount of CO2 in the soil and then injects the biological fertilizers necessary to re-naturalize the soils lacking their original production capacity<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

At first glance it resembles a Leonardo Da Vinci<\/strong> machine updated to the 21st century. A wooden top, connected to four wheels but stuffed, inside and in the upper part with sensors, solar panels and detectors of the latest generation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The definition given by its inventors of Jericho is \u201cterraforming architecture\u201d. Its goal can already be understood from the name: Jericho in fact takes inspiration from the homonymous rose, also known as the “resurrection plant<\/a>“.<\/span> The mechanical-biological mobile device<\/strong> inserted in the machine is in fact conceived to study, fertilize and re-naturalize soils<\/strong> lacking the original productive capacity.<\/span> In practice, the soils impoverished by the action of climate change and, ultimately, by the consequences of human activities harmful<\/strong> to the environment.
