Landscape and “Commons”
In systemic terms we have defined landscape as a “matrix of possible conflicts.” In making an analysis of landscape from a topographical and human perspective, and considering them in their material and social concretion, we introduce at this point a few considerations that underscore the sense of that function as a matrix of conflicts, specifying said conflicts and allowing ourselves to think, if not choose, the ones we would assume.
We have therefore considered discussing somewhat primly what we have denominated the “laws of landscapes”.
The law of poly-context
A landscape should be configured in such a way as to sustainably allow for a maximum number of interactive systems.
The law of established potential
A landscape should be configured so as not to neutralize the inhabitants’ capacity to act themselves as well as to work with and understand it.
The law of concept irreducibility
A landscape should contain and foster a sufficient number of indeterminate and unexpected items that maintain a variational gradient of the possible connections it offers.
The law of autonomy and the specificity of each landscape.
In accordance with its geological, climatic and macro-historic determinants, each landscape develops in a determined sense the internal dynamics of which need to be understood and appreciated.
