Each year the Days explore a theme, defined as clearly as possible, in a coherent and organic manner, examining aspects and boundaries of research and experiences whose purpose is to guide, and possibly anticipate, contents which become key issues in the sphere of landscape, a sphere which is constantly changing as far as learning, cultural and social awareness and regulatory and institutional framework are concerned.
These Study Days embody the in-depth analysis and exploration which have been key features of the Foundation’s work since its beginnings the Foundation, since its inception in 1987. Its focus is on the necessary intermingling of different fields of knowledge – from garden culture to history and geography, environmental and ecological issues and matters of an aesthetic and philosophical nature – to come up with innovative ideas and opinions into the tools needed today when working with landscape-oriented design.
A pioneering effort considering that the European Landscape Convention will be signed in 2000.
