Cristina Felsenhardt represents the bridge between different generations of architects, landscapers, and why not, territorialists, in how to incorporate Alexander von Humboldt's gaze into traditional landscaping. Understanding the landscape not as a mere aesthetic experience, but above all as a complex geographic-cultural process, our discipline faces the great challenges to which climate change exposes us. Written from the academic field, it is a notable example of rigorous and sustained investigative teaching over time, which shows the necessary role of academia in the face of great contemporary challenges. The inclusion of the geographical fact, the simultaneous presence of correlative disciplines, the balance between the aesthetic, scientific and technical, the spatial scales and a careful graphic representation make this book an unavoidable reference.
