Landscape and environment are two terms that have different etymologies, meanings, histories and usage habits. Their instrumental use has often contributed to fractures and fuelled rivalries between scientific disciplines and schools of thought, pushing away the moment of a possible active and working composition. In the ancient world their convergence was not in question and in recent decades both theoretical and operational practice have been pervaded by attempts at reconciliation. The seminar intends to investigate the relationship between ecology and aesthetics in contemporary landscape culture, starting with theories and design.
