Abstract

The formal perception of an anthropo-geographic landscape, made up of spatial and symbolic relationships, induces a complex reading that cannot focus solely on the material, spatial and tactile aspects, but should also concern the expression of the relationships of an associative and cultural kind. Thus historical narration, through a representation model revealing the system of changes, becomes the visualization of a process of regeneration useful to develop a unified description of the identity of a place. Our archive is the city: the reading of information that can be deduced from a thorough interpretation of all the signs, also of those whose attribution may only come about from a collective social memory, has the aim of being a substantial contribution to the conservation of memory. To this end, the use of an operating system, able to memorize, analyze and manage the geographic information of reference of the architectonic heritage, is an aid towards an awareness of the value of this heritage as a witness to the past. In a territorial context, the cartographic support is decisive. It may be considered a kind of measurement of the landscape, a very complex element that cannot merely be broken down into a reality of addends, but must be seen and framed in a puzzle of interrelations between parts. Interpreting modern cartography as the locus responsible for the analytical description of the territory, we must strive toward giving emphasis to some interpretative elements, in an attempt to render them above all communicative, through a representation system that we may call critical-analytical. The intention of this contribution is to stimulate the understanding and use of a stratified landscape which is rich in evident signs, in order to preserve its identity in relation to a sustainable development.
