Landscape architecture, the antidote of pollution and virtual reality in the third millenium

Abstract

In the third millennium, the creation of the landscape architecture can become a possible therapy, a curative and also a preventive solution for all kind of pollution, the antidote of the virtual reality to which we tend. The modern landscape architecture, being a profession with an important impact on the environment, tried and succeeded to cover a very wide area. From the strategic territorial systematization to the design of the individual yards and gardens, from the ecological recuperation of the polluted and degraded urban spaces to the designing and the rearrangement or the rehabilitation of the public squares, from “vegetal urbanism” to “green spaces”, from micro to macro landscape, its purpose consisted in finding the most adequate methods, principles and technologies, for the harmonization of the empty or planted spaces with the constructed spaces, from the isolated constructions to building ensembles. Because of its complex preoccupation field, the profession of landscape architect may find itself in a confusion regarding the comprehension and the reaction of the public and cities’ mayors.
