aaPAMS Landscape provides a set ofelements (physical, temporal

and cultural) to be used

to structure / balance

intentions and materialsconstituting new project

hypothesis.

INTERPRETATIVES WRITINGS

DESCRIPTIVE WRITINGS

FOWARD-LOOKING WRITINGS

Landscape as an "upstream"

multi-scale condition balancing

projects and programs conceivedin progress , versus fixedness

of simple objects of consumption

Landscape as a resource of materials and dynamics of

interaction between man and nature.

Emerge as guidelines for a modern town

City broke links with its river.

The Meuse river, with its smooth banks,

became navigable and was surrounded

with expressways

Traces of water system &19 century

public spaces are permanencies

New projects:

the Museum project in the Boverie Park

a new opportunity to think the future of the past

PRO-JET: New writing (jet) in pro-spective development (pro)as hypothesis which question the landscape and offer

themselves as tools of dialogue, debate, awareness.Basis of interaction allowing to stimulate,

to make sensitive, to reveal and

to make landscape visible

Guide of

Modern Architecture of Lige:

a morphological narration

To help people

to become more sensitive and

to communicatelandscape

through its own

materials.

" Neither catalog, nor inventory, the guide offers ways crossing thediverse conditions of formation and deformation of places in time.

It invites the traveler-land surveyor to enter the rhythms, the materials and the dynamics of

places in transformation which the city still allows to find, to feel and to reinvent. RITA OCCHIUTO

Morphologic System Landmarks Transversal sections Landscapes contraints

?

Vis:

A town strongly linked with its river before

development of railway and highway at the bottom

of the slope

As a result of Zoning, Landscape continuity left the way to

fragmented areas


9/12

Transformations of temporality and direction of ancient upward routes:

In the beginning from the bottom to the top of the town

Infrastructures (railway and highway) changed townsperception:

the church backyard became the principal entrance; the new Gran Place,

designed in the 19 century, became the centre of the modern city, but it

has been cut by new expressway crossing the town.

The link with the Meuse river has

been lost. Ancient paths lost their morphological signification,

guiding people from natural river materials up into towns artifact

Ancient landscape and relationships between

the river, on the bottom, and the church, on the

top. Now the church is in a

roundabout area

Infrastructures cutting natural links between river and town

Readings and new writings for projects

as a way to reveal to people

landscapes values and quality

that territorial transformationsmade invisible

while Meuse river is always waiting for a new human interest in landscapes

resources

PROJECT as an OPEN WORK

The project establishes a process or a step of iterative and continuous development of

intentions alternating phases of reading and writing which include:

THE INTERPRETATION OF PRE-EXISTING WRITINGS

FORMULATION OF IDEAS AS A FIRST SHAPE OF PROJECTION

TRANSCRIPTION IN SIGNS AND IN DRAWINGS

REGISTRATION ON THE GROUND

ITERATIVE SECTION OF THE GROUND THROUGH THE PRACTICES OF THE USER

Project isnt an interpretative reading of a moment which gives life to unchanging objects aswell as to cities and landscapes conceived as objects of design.

Extensions and continuities, materials, relationships and temporalities are all fundamentalelements of the project of long term sustainability ( seen as an horizontal continuum)


12/12

Landscape awareness is a long term path

to follow making continuous practices

based on projects approach

a way to remake links between

natural and human actions.

THANK YOU.
