Thanks to this seminar I had the possibility to test a new way of study the landscape and the city.
For me was a completly new experience to be in contact with nature for so long time and probably I would never do it by myself.
I love the city and everything concern with it cause I have always lived in a big city as Rome but here and with this seminar I have concentrated my attention on things that I have never really observed: all the components of the nature.
We have chosen our area in a contest that is completly sourrounded from nature: there was human presence but it was not intrusive and it was perfectly introduced in nature.
So in this contest I had the possibility to observe “not conventional” (for me!!) things.
During five years of architecture in Rome I have never really considered the importance of nature also in architecture: we always project buildings in a contest which is not made of nature but always made of other biuldings, traffic and confusion. The presence of a tree for example was not important. But in these months, looking around in a place which is completly different from my normal places in which I live, I had noticed how can be beautyful a landscape without any architectures but just made of nature.
In this way a tree that I would never noticed became one of the most important things in the study of our area and with this I mean that I have found a beauty, an architecture and an art in a product of nature.
Consequently the human presence, even if it was in the distance, was quite invasive, was something that disturbs an entire whole made og grass, trees and river.
I had the possibility to observe not architecture but the context in wich architecture could live.
Another thing that I would never expect to see cause I didn’t know also it’s existence was the science of walking “Promenadologie”.
I haven’t do things like these for a really long time: I mean, it’s not usual in my university to go around the city and it’s nature with a guide who introduce you in the landscape and also in my free time I never go through the nature: most of my time is spendt in city center.
So for me it was a completly new thing to walk in a wood with people who note and make me note that maybe a tree is different from the rest couse it has some different characteristics.
I have learned a lot of new things that will be useful when I will be back in my normal life.
