La seguente tesi esplora in che modo il design possa intervenire in contesti paesaggistici senza alterarne l’essenza, adottando approcci leggeri ed effimeri. L’analisi dettagliata del concetto di paesaggio, tramite una categorizzazione e uno studio dei suoi valori e delle sue dimensioni, è stata fondamentale per il progetto. L'obiettivo della ricerca è implementare microazioni e microoggetti che valorizzino le aree in cui vengono inseriti, rispettando sempre l’ambiente. Per raggiungere questo scopo, è stato essenziale mappare le zone di interesse, studiare attentamente la biodiversità presente e ricercare casi studio pertinenti per ottenere riferimenti concreti e coerenti. L'area di interesse principale è l'Albania, in particolare l’arcipelago di Fier, la cui visita a è stata cruciale per comprendere le esigenze specifiche del luogo e identificare le modalità più appropriate per migliorarlo. Il confronto con gli studenti locali durante il workshop ha permesso di prestare maggiore attenzione ai dettagli nella progettazione di strutture, passerelle, ponti e aree di sosta, garantendo sempre la reversibilità e la replicabilità in altre zone.. Questo approccio ha permesso di creare un percorso che promuova una fruizione consapevole e ragionata del paesaggio. In conclusione, questa tesi propone la valorizzazione del paesaggio naturale attraverso interventi che rispettano e preservano l'integrità dell'ambiente, evitando modifiche invasive. L'obiettivo principale è rafforzare il rapporto tra l’uomo e l’ambiente, promuovendo una coesistenza armoniosa e sostenibile. Le strategie sviluppate nel corso di questa ricerca non solo mirano a migliorare esteticamente e funzionalmente le aree di interesse, ma anche a sensibilizzare le comunità locali e i visitatori sull'importanza della conservazione del paesaggio. Le strategie delineate offrono un modello innovativo di intervento paesaggistico che, se applicato su larga scala, potrebbe rivoluzionare la gestione delle aree naturalistiche, massimizzando i valori paesaggistici e contribuendo a un futuro più sostenibile e rispettoso dell'ambiente.

The following thesis explores how design can intervene in landscape contexts without altering their essence by adopting light and ephemeral approaches. Detailed analysis of the concept of landscape, through a categorization and study of its values and dimensions, was fundamental to the project. The goal of the research is to implement micro-actions and micro-objects that enhance the areas in which they are placed, while always respecting the environment. To achieve this, it was essential to map the areas of interest, carefully study the biodiversity present, and research relevant case studies to obtain concrete and consistent references.
