Abstract

The New European Bauhaus, through its implementation strategies, proposes a multidisciplinary vision to promote the values of beauty, inclusion, and sustainability. The “Designing with more-than-humans” project applies this vision to the Cratere degli Astroni Nature Reserve, utilising digital narratives that blend real and artificial images to raise awareness of the human-nature relationship and territorial identity. Through a transdisciplinary approach, the team analysed key local elements, exploring physical and perceptual relationships. The digital representation, combining macro and micro perspectives, visualises the dialogue between these elements in a video-graphic work that overlays aerial footage, textual content, and AI-generated images, offering new perspectives on natural heritage.
