Visualising the research on visual landscapes. Graph representation and network analysis of international bibliography on landscape

The theme of the XIV Forum “Le Vie dei Mercanti” is an international discussion on the disciplines of architecture, design and landscape through the presentation of research and operational projects on the conservation and valorisation of World Heritage and “smart” regeneration of degradation, with analyses and proposals ranging from the design at all scales, to architectural assets, the territory, infrastructures and the landscape. Academics, along with professionals who have a role in the governing, managing and controlling of public agencies, institutions and the business world are invited to submit papers related to design objects, architecture and landscapes. This is with the aim of conserving and recovering, valorising and regenerating, managing and designing (or re-designing), for the more general improvement of the quality of life, in an innovative and contemporary relationship between man and the environment, through “beauty”, while respecting the history, traditions, identity and principles of sustainable development, as well as being attentive to the needs of our and future generations.
