Landscape Design and Time

Design tools have been prefigured over the last 20 years to protect, transform and adapt landscape in relation to changing environmental, economic and cultural conditions. Making landscape is here intended in the sense of its production and its continuous transformation depending on a project, that is to say on a complex prefiguration of places, resources, spaces, nature, constructions, physical and cultural relationships, elaborated by design experts able to integrate competences on the basis of a shared vision of the future from which the actions, processes and forms of the territory derive their sense. The Landscape Design and Time section focuses on the characters of landscape projects that infrastructure, conform and produce sustainable places; cure wounds and take care of the territory over its long time of transformation; cultivate visions and new imagination; define themselves on, and incorporate relationships between different scales; are inclusive and never finished because they are always open to new relationships, new processes and progressive adaptation.
