Contemporary architecture in the landscape crea il mondo in cui viviamo
The landscape has historically been a key element of quality architectural design. The heterogeneous identity of the Italian landscape has been a challenging terrain for designers, who proposed different readings of its relationship with architecture. The selection of images proposed here explores the Italian territory through last seventy years works, allowing us to appreciate the different interpretations of the landscape concept.
The reading of architecture is entrusted to the eye of young photographers who have documented the works in their respective contexts, capturing previously unseen points of view. Passing through the different regions, a description of the territory is composed that addresses the recurring themes of contemporary architecture, from the infrastructural works that intervene in the design of important stretches of the natural landscape to the bathing establishments that contribute to the definition of the coastal landscape.
In the itinerary, the urban landscape has been taken into account as a characterising element of the contemporary language, to highlight the key to understanding architectural quality also in continuity with the historic built environment, thus contributing to the definition of some of the many distinctive aspects of the Italian landscape.
