Contemporary landscape: preservation and transformation. A contribution to an intervention methodology

摘要

This article contributes to the debate and reflection centred on the state of contemporary landscape: a mosaic of presently and past constructed landscapes. It addresses the urgency of analysis and evaluation of the historic process of landscape (trans)formation through a cultural and ecologic interpretation taken together with the evaluation of the dynamics and tendencies of change, and taking into account the spatial model of landscape. In the context of the changeable dynamics typical of contemporary landscapes, this article contributes to the formulation of an intervention methodology, seeking both to respond to social needs and guaranty the sustainability of the inherited landscape.
