Progetto Dipartimento di Eccellenza sulle Fragilità Territoriali

The goal of the conference is to investigate the role of landscape design in relation to the weakening of territories, taking the European scenario as the research field and focusing on the fragilities of the rural landscape, on the design tools through which they can be processed and on the multidisciplinary and transcalar strategies connected to a general awareness and to their desirable overcoming.
These fragilities are strongly connected to each other, representing the outcome of the intertwining of conditions, that are constitutive for a site, to fragilization processes, not only catastrophic events, linked to anthropic actions of moving away from a systemic balance situation.
The fragilization scenarios of the rural areas are linked particularly to the main physical systems of which the landscape is composed by and through which the weakening is manifested. These three constitutive elements – productive ground, water and paths – are the ones on which even the design practices seem to be focused in order to counteract or contain fragility, triggering processes of transformation and “care”.
