    Landscape is a representation in which both changes in the way we see things and modifications of the Earth’s surface are reflected. Photographic reportages produced over the last few decadeshave accustomed us to looking with a critical eye at many dramatic and spectacular situations dueto the effects of earthquakes, deforestation, etc. A new dramaturgy has entered scenes of thelandscape, influencing the way we perceive the world. Taking account of the fact that architectsact in situ, i.e. on the terrain—unlike painters, writers, photographers, and the like, who operatefrom a visual perspective—we will examine multiple experiments with the adoption of anarchitecture suited to restoring an environment to health, if necessary, even by means of areasof urban afforestation.

    The case studies have given us the measure of the different "fabrics" that make up the city, and their possible transformations. The intent is to extend the aesthetic that has emerged to the scale of the landscape. Vast expanses of geographical continuity, running along the river, are taking the place of major works of infrastructure, and are inserted into the districts following old routes for the supply of water.

    Foster + Partners selected to design Queen Elizabeth II memorial

    British studio Foster + Partners has been selected to design the Queen Elizabeth II memorial in London, which will include a new crossing over St James's Park Lake.

    Its design, which will be finalised and revealed next year, is set to include a glass-clad bridge informed by Queen Elizabeth II's wedding tiara, along with a statue of the late monarch.

    Envisioned by Foster + Partners alongside artist Yinka Shonibare and landscape architect Michel Desvigne, the memorial in St James's Park will honour the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away in 2022 following a 70-year reign.
