2019年夏天，Alejandro Haiek在Civitella Ranieri城堡启动了WOJR建筑奖学金的工作，目的是要完成一个规模庞大的景观装置。最终的作品重新诠释了上个世纪对翁布里亚乡村带来重要影响的农业和工业系统，并使其成为一处能够引发公众参与的场地。
In the summer of 2019 Alejandro Haiek embarked on the WOJR Architecture Fellowship at the Civitella Ranieri Castle with the aim to make an installation. The result was a participatory reinterpretation of the agricultural and industrial systems which had framed and changed the Umbrian countryside during the last century.

该项目的挑战是要在短短一个多月的时间里创造完整的社区参与过程；将当地人对于地理环境的固有理解编织到实际的工业生产活动当中，最终呈现出一件如雕塑般精致的大地艺术作品。最终的结果展现出了显著的多元性，它涉及到当地生产者与厨师之间的合作，扩大了食物自给自足的潜力；与此同时还促进了当时居住在Civitella的知名作曲家、电影制作人和作家之间的艺术连接，激发了即兴创作与集体创作的潜能。
The challenge of the work was to create a community engagement process in just over a month; to weave the intrinsic local understanding of geology and topography into industrial production, in order to create a land-art work of sculptural refinement. The consequences of the process are as diverse as collaborations between local producers and chefs pushing boundaries of self-sufficiency, as well as artistic connections between well-known composers, film-makers and writers, resident at Civitella at the time, to harness the capabilities of improvisation and collective making.

WOJR/Civitella Ranieri建筑奖由马萨诸塞州剑桥市的设计事务所WOJR赞助，每年邀请一位新锐建筑师到翁布里亚的Civitella Ranieri（贫穷艺术的发源地）进行创作。为了符合该地区的历史和传统，被选中的创作者不能使用任何数字建模和制造软件，必须完全依靠当地资源来完成作品。该奖项由Liam O’Brien设立，旨在利用简单的手段和当地可用的材料，在城堡场地上设计并建造一个与场地和谐相融的临时装置。
WOJR/Civitella Ranieri Architecture Prize sponsored by Cambridge, Massachusetts based design firm, WOJR, invites an emerging architect each year to Civitella Ranieri, Umbira, which is the birthplace of Arte Povera, the avant-garde art movement known for its use of modest resources and everyday materials. Conforming to the region’s history and traditions, the prizewinner should not use digital modeling and fabrication software and must rely solely on local resources. The prize was established by Liam O’Brien to design and construct a site-specific temporary installation on the castle grounds using simple means and locally-available materials.

“自然的工业”（Industries of Nature）装置包含3个多方合作的创作行动：
行动1：追溯传统：才艺的地图 该作品是与摄影师Giorgia Fanelli合作完成的一场专题摄影展览，展出地为Civitella城堡画廊。诗人Alexandra Teague和实习生Samantha Lloyd-Knauf对此亦有贡献。
行动2：揭示传统：景观之舞 该作品是与Pauselli农场合作完成的大地艺术装置。作曲家Texu Kim负责创作背景音乐，Giorgia Fanelli参与了视频和编舞。

覆盖在装置上的植物每月增长1米，经过四季的循环，它将达到标准运输所能承受的最大长度：12米长的钢筋，构成了结构的DNA。园艺工作者可以在装置上种植西葫芦等作物。一切都是由当地的资源、能量与材料构成，就像是一场完整的贫穷艺术的创作，完完全全地由翁布里亚的景观中诞生。
The planting covering the installation will grow twelve metres per year, one metre per month. In one seasonal cycle it completes the maximum length afforded by standard transportation: the twelve metre rebar, which is the DNA of the structure. In a move to self-sufficiency the castle gardeners can plant the installation, with zucchini for example, whose flowers complement the signature dishes of the Ranieri chef. Everything is made from local resources, energies, materials, just as in Arte Povera, which emerged from this Umbrian landscape.” – Alejandro Haiek

“自然的工业”（Industries of Nature）装置使用“快装配/慢建筑”的实践方法去探索城市和乡村的未来，以及新兴技术在人工、自动化和代际变化中的作用。它让我们看到乡村及其创造的当地智慧能够以何种方式推动当今世界的变革，并为不确定的当下与迅速逼近的未来提供创新且高效的引擎。
Industries of Nature uses the practice of ‘fast assemblage / slow architecture’ to inquire about the future of city and country, the role of emerging technologies in labour, automation and generational shifts. It suggests how the countryside and its local intelligence should be seen as a driver for change in today’s world, an industrious engine of innovation for the uncertain present and a fast-approaching future.
