The relationship between fortification and landscape structure in Genova
The fortifications that rise around the harbour of Genova are architectural expressions that emphasize and clarify the relationship between man and landscape structure. The defence system intended as a single organic landscaping element is a key feature in the perception of the landscape it occupies. With the study of the geological structure and geomorphological landscape, it is possible to create the basis for an assessment of the characteristics that have influenced the design choices and functional work. The need to convert and valorise these military facilities is an opportunity to deal with studies that take into account the characteristics of the area.
