Abstract
The issue of architectural quality is of great topical relevance in both the design of new rural constructions and the restoration of existing rural buildings, also in light of the inclusion of landscape considerations within the strategic Community guidelines for awarding EEC subsidies aimed at promoting rural development in the period 2007-13. Thus, the design of farms does not any more merely concern agronomic issues aimed at agricultural or livestock production, and the theoretical and technical framework turns into a more general matter of landscape quality of rural areas and in particular of farms, since they potentially represent centres attracting customers, big buyers and common visitors, and their peculiar form of settlement deeply structures rural landscape. The work discusses the very essence of landscape design as a technique for conceiving structural and functional organization of rural areas that seeks and materializes a deep sense of the relationship between the whole and its parts. The work suggests the design results of the case study of the open spaces of a farm located in the hills of Imola, Emilia-Romagna (Italy), characterized by an articulated set of design constraints and functional requirements related to wine production. In fact, the experimental practice of the landscape design of the open spaces of farms represents both a very important theme in itself, and one of the main base subjects for the consideration of the broader issue of the evolution of countryside. The theme of landscape quality came to the fore in agricultural business with reference to the needs of promoting production at national and international levels. The need for users and external stakeholders visiting the farm and for their stay in the farm, both for short time visits and longer stay at the guest-house for professional or recreational experiences related to the culture of wine, led the case-study design process through needs that usually are not part of the tradition of the project of rural farms. The contemporary issues themselves determine the centrality of the landscape in the design and therefore of the landscape project as a philosophy of conceiving rural development.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
