Project Perspectives for Making Landscape

Being in project that promotes landscape making is an extended and integrated knowledge process which involves different areas of investigation and skills. It requires the ability to intertwine analyses on the quality of places with interpretations of the morphological, environmental and historical stratification characters of hybrid and complex territorial schedules. Movement is the condition that gives landscape the profound meaning of a process of change in progress. This is not only a way to characterize and appropriate territory, but it is a way to understand what has happened in order to intervene in ongoing transformation and to continue its evolution and the writing of the future. If we consider space as a set of environments in progress or in fieri, that is, contexts whose composition can remain open or not completed, making landscape becomes above all the regaining of an ability to continue existing territorial writings. Making landscape re-emerges the ability to immerse oneself in places to evoke physical and mental relationships that, above all, make it possible to restore life to the imagination that distinguishes local cultures. To achieve more ambitious objectives of critical conscience, it is necessary to re-elaborate the concept of transition to enhance its spatial and temporal values. The concept of open project expresses a need to adapt to changing conditions, but also a responsibility to transmit resources and potential to the future of territories.
