L’osservazione dei luoghi, della dimensione originaria dell’abitare, dei gesti e degli oggetti del quotidiano, così come il superamento dei confini del microcosmo domestico, rappresentano azioni costanti per la vita dell’uomo. Nel loro manifestarsi, esse favoriscono l’interazione tra uomo e paesaggio, sia esso naturale, costruito o sociale, mentre innescano relazioni differenti rispetto ai territori di appartenenza e alle loro caratteristiche intrinseche. Se l’individuazione di tali relazioni da un lato può aiutarci a chiarire la natura dei fenomeni identitari della collettività e dell’ambiente di cui sono parte, dall’altro ci permette anche di riconoscerne i fattori rilevanti. Senza distinzione di luogo e senza soluzione di continuità, il paesaggio contemporaneo sembra esprimere sempre più la fragilità di un sistema complesso dove, accanto a elementi di valore, trovano spazio manufatti indefiniti, omogenei e incongrui. Rispetto al contesto ambientale e costruito la presenza del patrimonio culturale e naturale sembra affiorare per la sua capacità di trasmettere, attraverso espressioni differenti, quel senso di atemporalità che affonda le sue radici nel significato stesso di bellezza. Osservando il paesaggio contemporaneo, possiamo ancora parlare di bellezza? Osservatorio Mobile Nord Est ha avviato una ricerca e una campagna di osservazione per indagare, attraverso il termine bellezza, i differenti aspetti di un territorio sul quale si sono concentrati una serie studi urbanistici a partire dalla metà degli anni Settanta.

Abstract
Looking at places, the original dimension of habitation, at everyday gestures and objects, just like stepping beyond the confines of the domestic microcosm, is a constant part of human life. In the way these things manifest themselves, they foster interaction between man and the landscape, be it natural, built or social, while prompting different relationships with the land one is part of, and its intrinsic characteristics. Identifying these relationships can help us shed light on the nature of the phenomena that identify a community and the environment it belongs to, while at the same time enabling us to recognize the relevant factors that are found therein. Regardless of location and seen outside the continuity of time, the contemporary landscape seems ever more to express the fragility of a complex system where ill-defined, similar, incongruous industries find space beside precious elements. With regard to the built and the environmental context, the presence of the cultural and natural heritage seems to come emerge through its ability to convey, through different means of expression, that sense of timelessness whose roots lie in the very meaning of beauty. But looking at today’s landscape of today, can we still talk of beauty? The North East Mobile Observatory (OMNE) has initiated an observation and research project aimed at examining, using the term beauty as its key concept, different aspects of an area that has been the focus of a series of urbanism studies since the mid 1970s.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
