Energy: territory and new landscapes scenarios

Abstract

Always in history, the shaping of new landscapes is accompanied by important economic and social changes, and the relative outcomes had great impact on the formation of a new system of relations between investment choices and planning choices, orienting the management of different options of landscapes transformations. Undoubtedly, the innovation and technology incentives have anticipated the realization of solutions with a better executive convenience and better economic results. Today, the transformations seems interested by frequently contradictory choices and by short respite solutions, because these are influenced by affairs extraneous to the regional territory characteristics. Nevertheless, there are a lot of experiences that show a farsighted environmental and landscape planning. The paper underlines the characters of the transformations, putting into evidence the hybridization factors of consolidated landscapes, the most technologized architectures, the adaptability of traditional building to energetic saving, the difficulties of adaptation to energy saving policies in construction, and the scenarios that foreshadow different spaces and times for the same context transformations. We are in an “energy transition” in which scenarios of new landscapes prevail hybrid fragmentation due to provisions by sectors and territorial contexts.
