Abstract

The article o!ers research notes and some hints on the definition of temporal diversity in the disci-plines related to landscape design. After having carried out a quick survey of the literature that in recent decades has dealt with exploring the issues related to the historical and temporal dimensions of landscapes, the essay explores the affinities between the theoretical and operational tools of ar-haeological sciences (in particular linked to the theme of context and stratigraphic investigations) and the ‘archaeological’ reading, as experimented by various authors in the field of landscape design. Reflecting on the concept of biological diversity and trying to reinterpret it according to a specifically design research dimension, the introduction of the term temporal diversity is proposed, to be understood as a variety of historical phases, evolutionary sequences, chronological documentation, visible or invisible, present or even just perceptible in a given open space or landscape context.
