Vol 21, No 2 (2023): Terrae incognitae

Issue Description

The relationship between landscape design and the role played by plants is relevant for contemporary landscape design because it concerns the interaction with ever changing structures which determine a deep renewal in space design.
The essays develop fields of knowledge partially explored on the plant communities' ability  in developing relationships and pursuing transformations that stand as models for the present discussion and practice.   Landscape design can today not only draw understanding, but concretely find new solid foundations on this topic.
This is an opportunity to bond and combine scientific, philosophical, and artistic knowledge with design explorations.
The essays in the present issue discuss significant subjects that greatly extend the theoretical and operative contents of planting design, such as it was understood until a few decades ago, and direct towards resilient landscape design, rich in diversity and ecological functions, standing similar but, at the same time, different from natural systems, with plant communities who welcome the wild as well as cultivated species.
