Summary: | <div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>On the basis of the topics discussed in two recent International meetings, the XXIII UIA Congress and the V European Landscape Biennial, and in recently appeared manifestos, some reflections about the contemporary “sense of landscape” will be addressed. While “landscape” is used as a green metaphor in architectural fields, the landscape disciplines seems to adopt two different strategies: a return to beauty and emotion as a specificity (therefore tracing a distinction from ecology) and hybridization with urbanism. Thus, the debate shows an attempt to compare the topics of the discipline to the social aspirations, like beauty, sustainability, urbanity. </span></p></div></div></div></div>
