IL PAESAGGIOPARADIGMA PER IL PROGETTO ADATTATIVO: PAROLE D’ORDINE DI TEORIA E PRASSI

The Alps, stigmata of the local landscape: a severe master for an ethical and political national renewal. The mountain is a landscape laboratory, a good didactic gymnasium for “re-thinking the Planet”, in order to train for an empathetic vision of Landscape as a “tool and goal” that could internalize the Country.
