Performance, Sharing, Narrative. Three Objectives and Five Strategic Moves

Transitional Landscapes is a collection of essays which reflect on the theme of “transition” in all of its nuances (from ecological to sustainable, describing the potential of fragile territories). This is a current issue on the political agenda and in the international scientific community, which interprets transition as a condition that calls for redesigning / rethinking spaces and flows (human and non-human) for a new relational ecology between bodies and inhabited contexts. The paper presented in this collection deals with the transformation of the existing city into the city of the future, as an objective of shared quality of life in the living space, is a complex operation that involves new skills, strategies and adaptive design devices. So, urbanism from the science of urban expansion becomes the science of the regeneration of the existing city. Architecture and Landscape design are re-orienting their operational positions in the same direction.
