Abstract

In recent years, the representation of the landscape has undergone considerable changes. These changes, are the result of renewed communication codes, but they are indeed strongly correlated to the increasingly varied possibilities of landscape representation use. In particular, new media (smartphones, PCs, tablets, satellite navigators, etc.) have played a crucial role in redefining the representations of both the landscape and the territory. This led to progressive development and enrichment of the visualization forms which saw the participation not only of cartographers but also of experts in communication and graphic design. As part of the cultural debate on the landscape and its representation, and on the basis of the philosophical ideas offered by Robert Venturi’s theoretical reflection on complexity and contradiction as permanent and distinctive landscape features, the present study intends to focus attention on the most recent ways of representing the landscape and the territory, and on the new approaches to their use. On the basis of the most recent scientific researches, the role of the new modes of representation as cognitive systems able to allow reflections on spatial phenomena and on the related constitutive processes is discussed and highlighted.
