Resumen
Landscape project always works with nature: something perpetually transforming, expanding and retracting, without any rigid limits; it gives thickness to the edges, and looks at the "uncertainty" as one of the conditions in which the future scenarios can be prefigured. The contemporary territory has been described by features of complexity and uncertainty; a place where edges and internal limits are undefined, dynamic, and porous. Therefore, assuming the way of thinking of a landscape architect, it can be useful to understand and design that kind of places (Corner, 2006). The main characteristic of contemporary city is to be fragmented, that means lack of relations among places, and presence of many "other spaces" (Foucault, 2001): heterotopics, utopian and empty ones. Therefore, this kind of situation has led to disorientation, and it causes deprivation of the landscape. A paradigm shift is required (Ricci, 2012): new ecological continuity and public uses must to be implemented among fragments.
