摘要:While there is general consensus on the importance of landscape
perception in urban studies, there is still a need to broaden the toolkit for
researchers and practitioners to document, analyse and interpret these
inputs, in line with the postulates of the European Landscape Convention
and overcoming conventional formats based on descriptions and static
photography. This becomes particularly pertinent in the peri-urban
landscapes of large cities, bearers of the relations and contradictions
between urban growth, resource consumption and landscape protection,
and especially vulnerable to tabula rasa approaches. We case study the
surrounding landscapes of Madrid at a metropolitan scale, addressing
the gap between scopes and scales of recent landscape reports and
focusing on two elements connecting (visually, or physically) the city with
its commuting zone: lookouts and roads. An expert-based methodology
presents the criteria for their selection and a description of desk and
field work. A sample for each local approach is further developed to
exemplify the application, combining cartography, 3D modelling, visual
basins, on-site photography and interpretive drawings. This results in
a multifaceted vision of how the city and its hinterland is perceived,
illustrating both outstanding and everyday landscapes and how they
interweave in a continuous experience.
