A Laboratory on the Opportunities for Contemporary Landscapes and New Interpretations for Infrastructures' Architecture: a dialogue among Giorgio Praderio, Luigi Bartolomei and Alberto Bortolotti

Abstract

The meaning of “infra” attests a symbolic value of the contemporary space and an existential condition of modern living, absorbed nowadays by the flows of variable networks overlapping Landscape. Can we describe the infrastructural system of the current Cultural Landscapes? How will it change in the near future? The answers can be provided by analyzing the Italian and European trends connecting landscape architecture and infrastructural design, as well as re-calling the stimulating results of national scientific researchers on infrastructures-territory-architecture. From the minor dimension to the international one, the final remark of the present paper traces local issues back to the global assets and it suggests to re-define landscapes’ identities through the flexible spaces linked to the infrastructures.
