Contemporary walking paths are often composed of static surfaces, limiting pedestrians to prescribed routes. Piazzas and streets allow for wandering, but are likewise inert; one’s passage leaves no trace. A forest path, branching from a well-used hiking trail in the Appalachian Mountains records the passage of time through the pressure of the walker’s feet on leaves and soil. Negotiating topography and vegetation, fallen trees become thresholds and standing trees mark portals as the pedestrian wanders through rooms framed by living columns. On most days, the walker retraces the path, solidifying the route, but occasionally the walk branches freely. The forest path is a co-design, evolving by the action of walking and myriad life processes in the woods. Drawn on the earth by walking, a literal route has become the author’s figurative path, stimulating an imaginative drawing practice.

The essay is about the aesthetic experience of staying and about the relationship we establish with the landscape when we stop walking. Right at that moment, our body generates a new relationship with the place, merging more and more into the place itself, according to a contemplative process that has its roots in Platonic thought. When we stop to remember, the landscape design is connected with many universal topics, about history, identity and sense of life as well. In the second part, the text explores the landscape architecture of some memorials set up in different decades of the last sixty years, celebrating very different events, but strongly evoking: which is the role of the nature, and what is about the visitor’s proxemics while he’s remembering, living an aesthetic experience?

The American Academy in Rome provides an ideal place for visiting scholars and artists to stay. From this base on the Gianicolo, one can walk about the city and explore its heritage and experience both its contemporary vibrancy and sustained relevance. Touching Time is one American’s reflections, through words and pictures, of his stay at the Academy and his walks in Rome and beyond.

Walking treads not only on the palpable site but also through the stroller’s imaginary territory. This dual nature of walking is frequently illustrated in historical literature and pictures. These two forms of walking create a liminal and absorptive movement between the palpable and imaginary landscapes through the body-mind as a living medium. The essay examines this subject in three folds: first, discerning three modes of liminal experiences in a range of selected historical materials: namely, approaching, lingering, and wandering in reverie, following an increasing extent in the scale of absorption; second, presenting the three effects of absorption and their agencies and media; third, assessing how these effects were received by the historical walkers. Overall, this cross-cultural reading shows that walking in imagination is not a theoretical idea but an empirical form of absorptive experience that involves both external and internal media. The essay further implies that, with adequate studies on this subject, we could rethink the rapport between materials and their meanings and associations in Landscape Architecture and envision a humanistic landscape of constructed imagination that not only appeals to the senses but also touches our soul and mind.

Through summer schools, the Laboratorio del cammino proposes a learning method based on the direct and slow experience of walking. After a period in which the pandemic prevented teaching in presence, this approach was considered even more valuable. It combines and does not replace a digital experience with one of proximity, making it possible to compare what is visible when crossing a territory with what is seen from afar. The article reports the participation in the 2021 edition of the summer school, focused on the industrial and territorial contraction of north-eastern Pied- mont. Moving around and staying in the area made it possible to reveal an articulation of open spaces that make up the countryside, which is thus highlighted concerning an image obscured by the factory. Themes and problems of agricultural and silvo-pastoral shrinkage emerge, and initiatives take care of the territory.
通过暑期学校，Laboratorio del cammino提出了一种基于步行直接和缓慢体验的学习方法。在一段时间内，由于大流行病无法进行现场教学，这种方法被认为更有价值。它将数字体验与近距离体验相结合，而不是取代数字体验，从而可以将穿越领土时看到的东西与从远处看到的东西进行比较。文章报道了2021年夏季学校的参与情况，重点关注了东北地区的工业和领土收缩。在该地区四处走动和停留使得有可能揭示构成乡村的开放空间的连接，从而突出了被工厂遮蔽的图像。农业和银牧萎缩的主题和问题出现了，并提出了照顾领土的倡议。

La recensione propone una prospettiva critica della diciassettesima edizione delle Giornate Internazionali di Studio sul Paesaggio organizzata da Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche incentrata sul rapporto tra corpi e paesaggi. Come partecipa la nostra adesione corporea al paesaggio? Qual è la misura dell’interazione sensoriale con esso? Come si evolve il rapporto tra corpo e paesaggio nell’Antropocene? Attraverso queste domande si articola la riflessione tra realtà percepita e corporeità, tra esperienza sensoriale e immaginario mitopoietico, in un connubio tra arte, antropologia, storia dell'arte dei giardini, cultura del paesaggio e danza. Ripercorrendo i ragionamenti dei dieci contributi che hanno nutrito il convegno, emergono affinità tematiche tra “essere” nel paesaggio e “sentire” il paesaggio. Il coinvolgimento attivo e percettivo del corpo avviene grazie un’immersione reale nel paesaggio, ma anche attraverso la sua dimensione narrativa. Il corpo, specchio della paesaggio, muta nella sua fisicità e nella sua condizione psichica, richiamando un processo di metamorfosi reciproca e al contempo un approccio psicogeografico, in cui l’erranza ci invita ad accogliere l’Altro e l’ibridazione del paesaggio, secondo un neo-animismo del “sentire”.
该评论对贝纳通基金会(Benetton foundation)组织的第十七届国际景观研究日(international history day)提出了批评意见。我们的身体是如何适应风景的?与它的感官互动的测量方法是什么?在人类世中，身体和景观之间的关系是如何发展的?通过这些问题，我们将感知的现实与身体、感觉体验与神话般的感知体验结合起来，结合艺术、人类学、花园艺术史、景观文化和舞蹈。回顾大会所作的十项贡献的推理，就会发现景观中的“存在”和“感受”景观之间存在着主题上的亲缘关系。身体的积极和感知参与是通过真实地沉浸在景观中，但也通过其叙事维度来实现的。身体是风景的镜像，它的物理和精神状态会发生变化，它会唤起一种相互蜕变的过程，同时也会唤起一种精神地理的方法，在这种方法中，流浪邀请我们根据“感觉”的新动画主义来拥抱彼此和景观的杂交。

As a common human behavior, walking has been regarded much as a bodily movement. To better understand the cognitive aspect, the paper inquires about how imaginary walking can enrich a landscape experience and what the role of the representational diagram is in facilitating the dual status of walking. To present the proposition tangibly, the paper raises three case studies, each being featured with a distinct relation between in-situ walking and imaginary walking. The type of representational diagram in each case also varies, which is conceived as a thematic map for the story in Florence (Italy), a historical transect for the scenario in New York State (United States), and a hybrid drawing for the re-imagination in Yuyao (China). These cases are based on personal experiences, with the previous two finished during the study of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and the third one afterward.

For the German landscape gardener Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell (1750-1823) walking was a method to design landscapes for visitation and inhabitation, in other words, for both walking and staying. Sckell used an idiosyncratic device, the drawing stick, to draw outlines of pathways, plantings, and water bodies directly into the ground at one-to-one scale while walking. This method of “drawing in nature” while in motion was to enable the designer to respond to his imagination, emotions, and the impressions of the site more freely. Although Sckell’s walking designer exhibited the “natural” gait promoted in the late eighteenth century, its contrived nature mirrored the equally contrived nature of the landscape gardens it helped to design. Nevertheless, walking “with decorum” as what in today’s terms could be called a phenomenological bodily practice, was central to Sckell’s naturalistic garden designs that were to foster imagination and emotional response.
