Description and Storytelling


The description of the material and immaterial contexts of landscapes (metropolitan, natural, hybrid), in addition to having become an autonomous multimedia narrative genre, is now also a scientific activity that precedes, accompanies, and leads all kinds of projects, at any scale. In contemporary times, however, this scientific description-produced through words, conceptual and/or functional diagrams, artistic, photographic, or cinematic images-often turns into a creative narrative, which opens new doors to landscape perception and critical interpretation. This cannot fail to have a design spin-off. To the point of the paradox that often the description is the project.
