The difficult path of sustainability: conflicting ideologies on the production of urban space
Every culture cannot sustain and absorb the shock of modern civilization and the paradox of how to become modern and to return to sources. This text searches for the interpretations of new cultural landscapes, between the inevitability of loosing vernacular landscape by cultural change and the new posibilities for urban intervention. The author deals with two burning questions: cultural landscape investigations as a guideline for sustainable interventions; and the significance of the tension between the society´s cultural ideal of landscape faced up to the actual landscape. A new set of concerns and values, an ideology linked to praxis and based on the ecological knowledge, is required to avoid the creation of an over-transitory modern cultural landscape, and in order to guide regional sustainable and regenerative interventions.
