if the landscape is not enriched through the architectural intervention but simply threatens to disappear. Besides, this kind of sensing is not a theoretical task; first and foremost, it means having faith in sensual perception. For that reason, I as a designer have to go through the same procedure every single time: to look and really see, to admit love, to take care, to find the right measure and to envision the placement of the proposed building in the landscape over and over again in order to see if the landscape accepts it.
I must strive to sense the measure of the landscape again and again. Through inner appreciation, not through theoretical argumentation. So, in conclusion, l want to talk about the preferences, passions and sensations that motivate me when putting up a building in a landscape.
First of all, I have to love the earth and the topography. I love the movement of the landscape, the flow and the structure of its forms;I try to imagine how thick the humus is;I see the hard bump in the meadow and sense
the big boulder underneath and all the other things I don’t know very much about, but that give me a wonderful feeling When I plan my buildings, it is vital to me to take care of this surface. Even if I have to modify the topography, it should look as if it was always that way.
