Thematic roundtable | Cultivating continuity – one year after
23 October – 9.30
If there is no landscape without an observer, in this working table we will analyse how observation can support design and planning processes in the landscape and generate new linkages between people and places. For this purpose, we will approach the systematic study of the landscape (for instance by landscape observatories) and the experiential and culturally mediated interaction between people and the environment, as opportunities to enrich landscape design, protection, management and planning.
After presenting their personal reflections on the topic, the members of the working table will be invited to jointly discuss the following three questions: (1) How can the observation of the landscape promote new ways of designing and planning the landscape? (2) What should be the role and activities of Landscape Observatories (or similar institutions) in the future? and, (3) From the “Observation of the Landscape” point of view, what are you missing in the ‘Manifesto on the Future of the European Landscape’ and in the ‘Green Strategy’ presented in the UNISCAPE2021 Conference?
