Cet ouvrage reflète l'expérience stimulante d'une réflexion internationale sur l'avenir du développement d'une petite ville située dans le Liban du Sud, Saïda. Fruit d'une collaboration entre des étudiants et des professeurs en architecture de paysage, en architecture, en urbanisme et en études touristiques de quatre pays (Canada, Italie, Liban, Maroc), ce workshop présente différents projets de mise en valeur et de développement des paysages périurbains et dévoile les attraits et les singularités d'un territoire oublié, faut-il le rappeler, par le temps et par les événements d'une histoire récente. À l'heure de la reconstruction annoncée du Liban, ce livre est la manifestation tangible de la nécessité de stratégies d'aménagement qui soient soucieuses de l'environnement, de la culture et de l'histoire locale des villes, des paysages et de leurs habitants.

The archeological site of Montcaret consists of the Pars urbana of a large Roman implantation. It is composed of two levels (Early and late roman Empires), themselves divided into several periods. The last period (5th century A.D.) offers the largest basilica room in the region, a triclinium, a pool and some very well preserved mosaics. The site is inhabited again in the Middle Ages, with a Romanesque church and a necropolis. The site has been studied in its diachronic and synchronic context and the Pars agraria close to the estate has deserved a special research. The artifacts found in the excavations (Roman and medieval coins, Roman and medieval, ceramics, architectural fragments, reliquary cross, sarcophagi, perinatal burials) have been the subject of specific studies, each of them carried out by specialists. They are presented in the museum space of the site which can be visited.

This volume was born from a recognition of the experiences and warnings which were needed for the creation of a landscape observatory in Tuscany, and for the definition of the network and interactive methods which the observatory itself can use while aiming at its own operational effectiveness. The analysis was carried out during the formation stage of the Landscape Plan of Tuscany and during the collaboration which the Regional Authority has promoted with the Inter-University Centre of Territory Sciences. Starting from the examination of the organizational and functional models characterizing the main European and Italian experiences, in the plurality of regulatory contexts, forms of landscape planning and regulation and practices of cultural and association mobilization of the reference populations, some working hypotheses are formulated and calibrated on the Tuscan situation.

The grand building complex in Tarraco known as the "Provincial Forum" is one of the most emblematic imperial-era monuments in the western Roman provinces. Based on the observation and detailed analysis of the archaeological evidence from an original perspective, this monograph proposes an investigation of the technical aspects and Roman building processes involved in the three main areas of the monument: the Worship Area, the Representation Square and the Circus. The construction of one of the key monuments in the Roman West was extensively influenced by local stone resources, in particular limestone, coming from the quarries near the colony. The use of this stone material have generated the search for architectural solutions, combination of material and technique, that have become the identifying characteristic not only of the monument, but also of the town's image. The analysis of the construction process was key to understanding the ancient structures. It revealed the dynamic nature of their construction, the result of a plan that was constantly changing and adapting to external conditions or to the requirements of the construction site. It shows a process that reflects the existence of a plan in continuous evolution, a manifestation of the essence of the building site (cantiere di costruzione) and its architecture.

A obra resultou de uma pesquisa de pós-doutoramento realizada no Centro de Filosofia da Universidade de Lisboa. O enfoque é a compreensão das bases filosóficas de um conceito amplamente utilizado na pesquisa e no ensino de Geografia: a paisagem. A partir da abordagem filosófica, que a considera como dimensão da existência e de um possível retorno ao sentimento de natureza em uma sociedade econômica e ecologicamente em crise, o objetivo da obra é discorrer sobre a paisagem enquanto potencialidade para a leitura crítica da realidade e busca de um mundo socialmente justo. A essência da natureza é constituída pela dialética ordem-caos e, enquanto movimento incessante, subjuga tudo e todos à dissolução no tempo e no espaço. No cerne da democrática condenação natural à morte, a sociedade hierárquica pode encontrar meios para realizar sua própria humanidade: sem guerras, sem degradação, sem riquezas acumuladas através de empobrecimento e fome. A compreensão da paisagem pode ser a porta de entrada para a estética da beleza que deve haver no mundo, em nós, nas relações humanas e na maneira de transformar a natureza.
