LANDSCAPES IN TROUBLE, LANDSCAPES IN ACTION: Theories and Practices Between Space, Art and Ecology

Landscapes in Trouble, Landscapes in Action brings together a constellation of voices reflecting on landscape as both the site where contemporary crises become visible and a field of experimentation for imagining alternative ways of inhabiting the world. Acknowledging that today’s landscapes are shaped by intertwined ecological, social, cultural, and political transformations, the volume proposes a shift in perspective: from landscape as a static object to landscape as a dynamic process. Combining theoretical essays, dialogues, artistic practices, and project-based experiments, the book adopts a polyvocal and interdisciplinary approach. Contributions from landscape architecture, philosophy, urban studies, performing arts, and design examine how landscapes are lived, perceived, and transformed across diverse contexts, investigating them as fragile, contested, and sensorial fields. Rather than offering solutions, Landscapes in Trouble, Landscapes in Action opens pathways for thinking and acting otherwise. It invites readers to consider landscapes as living palimpsests and as shared spaces where crisis becomes an opportunity for collective imagination and action.
