Tourism

Landscapes

 

The series brings together a number of studies dedicated to the phenomenon of heritage tourism. A driving force for territorial regeneration processes and, at the same time, a factor in the alteration of the nature of places, this particular form of tourism represents a field of investigation for a vast number of disciplines. Open to dialogue with different fields of knowledge, the essays of the series present research focused on the relationship between heritage, landscape and architecture. In this framework, the analysis of contexts and the project’s cross-scale perspective are assumed as lenses through which to read the potentialities and the critical issues related to the touristic use of material and immaterial assets. Can architectural design offer new ways of knowledge and interpretation of heritage? What are the analytical tools and the design methodologies useful for establishing a dialogue with that sense of past and sense of place proper to the concept of heritage itself? The series answers these questions by illustrating the results of research, teaching experimentations and design explorations which, in light of the complex problems posed by tourism, address the study of the relationship between architecture and the historical city, the transformation of landscapes, and the delicate balance between protection and the use of heritage.
