Landscape, architecture and urbanism: reassembling to "spring" as a methodological option

Abstract

The review of the precepts of modern architecture and urbanism brought, in return, with respect to the profession, teaching and research in landscaping, an increased attention to its social, environmental or cultural aspects in the broadest sense. However, it has not resulted in a proportionate impact in addressing the existential and aesthetic dimension of the landscape. What is sought here is to awake attention to this gap, appealing to reference texts about that overlooked dimension, in the assumption that this could provide new perspectives to teaching, research and design activity in landscaping.
