The Word for World is Forest by Angelo Renna and Oleksandr Nenenko | Redesign the World | Dezeen



Angelo Renna and Oleksandr Nenenko have proposed covering planet Earth with huge genetically engineered trees, one of 15 finalist projects for Dezeen’s Redesign the World competition powered by Twinmotion.

Titled The Word for World is Forest, Renna and Nenenko’s proposal envisions “superorganism” trees that absorb 50 per cent more carbon dioxide than typical trees.

The trees would also use less water and are designed to grow fast and survive in turbulent weather conditions.

In Renna and Nenenko’s imagined future, humans live in symbiosis with non-human species and are the “guardians of the forest”. Plants are no longer considered “ornamental” but are vital to human survival and culture.

The concept is inspired by Ursula K Le Guin’s 1972 novella of the same name, which is about a fictional planet that is completely covered by forest.

Redesign the World is the ultimate design competition, which called for new ideas to rethink planet Earth to ensure that it remains habitable long into the future.

Launched in partnership with Epic Games, the contest asked entrants to visualise their concepts using architectural visualisation software Twinmotion.
