The design of the landscape and the environment constitutes a constant reference of the research path, of the teaching activity and of the design experimentation, activities closely related to each other. The environment has never been taken as a space for research and sectoral intervention but as a physical-biological context inseparable from the living and survival conditions of the different species (animals and plants); secondly as a socio-cultural context against which to read and interpret a vast family of contemporary behaviors and conflicts, and the different relevance that these assume for different social subjects; and finally as a scientific-disciplinary context, capable of renewing the presence and meanings of design in contemporary society.
