concept, or constitute true small accessible <strong>volumes<\/strong>; they are always removable, however, and, if a charging service is provided, they are self-sufficient as they are powered by photovoltaics.<\/p>\n<p>Here the main function is to bring the user into dialogue with the surrounding landscape, act as a  <strong>visual bridge<\/strong>,  <strong>tactile<\/strong>  and more generally  <strong>sensory<\/strong>  between humans and the environment, and integrate this main experience with other functions, normally dispersed in so many objects in the space (seating, tabletop, device charging point, flower bed for greenery, and more depending on their complexity) always placing at the center of the installation the  <strong>visuo-tactile panel<\/strong>  intended for all users: this is for the purpose of providing one communication channel, the same for all, and also to maintain consistency with the emotional component.<\/p>\n<p>CITISLAB proposes this type of installation where, as a complement to the visual-tactile panel, stimuli are to be offered that, instead of being conveyed only through sight as is always normally the case, are translated in a more engaging way.<\/p>\n<p>When we look at a <strong>landscape<\/strong>, even one that we already know, we are often unable to perceive those elements that have made it unique and unrepeatable: transformations due to urban and territorial growth have produced stratified landscapes, where the overlapping of historical and contemporary elements does not allow the reading of the real value of architectural and natural elements.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, looking at any landscape we see a confusing system made up of housing, warehouses, road infrastructure, in which the most significant and symbolic parts such as <strong>monuments<\/strong>, <strong>natural reliefs<\/strong>, and <strong>historic villages<\/strong> are often hidden, overwhelmed by modern additions and therefore no longer perceptible.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in order to discern these elements, it is necessary to discretize: subtract the <strong>disturbing elements<\/strong> and focus attention on the <strong>pre-existing values<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2992238630 {\n  color: rgb(38, 33, 79);\n}\n#text-2992238630 > * {\n  color: rgb(38, 33, 79);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1756729786 > .col-inner {\n  border-radius: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-277948537 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-collapse row-full-width\"  id=\"row-137019132\">\n\n\n\n\n<style>\n#row-137019132 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 60px 0px 20px 0px;\n  background-color: rgb(38, 33, 79);\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_939294808 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n  padding-bottom: 60px;\n  margin-bottom: -30px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1692573404\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-large align-middle border-img\"  id=\"row-1993438946\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-650456433\" class=\"col invert-mobile medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-1808404519\" class=\"text dim-testo\">\n\t\t\n\n<p>In particular, <strong>Readable Landscape<\/strong> Microarchitecture proposes visual-tactile readings of glimpses and pictures of landscape, thus allowing it to be read in its complexity through devices (framing, optical cones, ad hoc visual and relief representations, models, etc.) that interpret and enhance its <strong>history<\/strong> and specific morphological, environmental and architectural features.<\/p>\n<p>One proposed concept, the &#8220;Portal of Time,&#8221; functions as a telescope where visual data is combined with tactile data and consists of a transparent, permeable and non-invasive box-cabin topped by a shaped and perforated sheet metal, fixed or sliding to adjust the shade according to time and season.<\/p>\n<p>The walls of this micro-architecture are declined in different possible materials and are shaped and appropriately perforated according to inspirations from the four elements <strong>Earth, Water, Fire, Air<\/strong> connected to the peculiarities of the surrounding area;

The modules, made of site-specific materials or other materials (steel, aluminum) will contain <strong>sensory thematic inserts<\/strong> that can evoke smells of medicinal and decorative plants, &#8220;textures&#8221; of native materials (from the park and\/or used in local architecture), sensations of local plants and crops; tactile panels will accompany the exploration. <\/p>\n<p>As in Citislab&#8217;s other proposals, the entire system can be made self-contained with the installation of a roof organized with <strong>photovoltaic panels.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Sensory Landscape<\/strong> Microarchitecture, which will have to be defined in detail in relation to the site in which it will be inserted, enters fully into the products to be installed in the Thematic Landscape Itinerary proposed by CITISLAB: it can be combined with the other Tactile Panels and Tactile Tables through the thread of <strong>Technologies<\/strong>, to offer an even more immersive experience.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-4059623659 {\n  color: rgb(38, 33, 79);\n}\n#text-4059623659 > * {\n  color: rgb(38, 33, 79);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-845831257 > .col-inner {\n  border-radius: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1918822367\" class=\"col invert-mobile medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1504764891\">\n\t\t<a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Microarch_paesaggio_sensoriale_low.jpg\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/citislab.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Microarch_paesaggio_sensoriale_low.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Concetto di Microarchitettura Paesaggio Sensoriale (Concetto O.
