Making of the Landscape - Tyrrhenian coast and Tiber basin
Students: Roman Birrer, Nelly Pilz, Florence Willi
As a rule, contemporary landscape is not a product of a single intention, but of numerous converging processes. The traces of the changing views and treatments of landscape throughout history – obsolete ancient infrastructures, traces of cultivation, old fortifications, etc – become parts of contemporary landscape, acquiring new meanings and new uses. The work is thus an attempt to give a portrait of the landscape of Adriatic river valleys, a complex environment made through both endogenous and anthropogenic influences. The work will focus on the Tronto Valley.
