Water landscapes

Editoriale per il numero 2/2013 della rivista «JoLA-Journal of Landscape Architecture», un numero tematico dedicato a "Water landscapes". Abstract: " Architects, urban designers, and landscape architects are more creatively imagining the landscape and the city in relation to water. Projects that reunite engineered and natural processes and strengthen existing logics of sites are becoming the base for new regional and urban forms. In these innovative projects, soft engineering often complements hard engineering as a way to work with the forces of nature to reduce or mitigate the likely impacts of natural disasters, while the revised development of cities is guided by new interplays of landscape, infrastructure and urbanization.
