Designers Palimpsest

The PALIMPSEST research project works on the (re)generation of sustainable practices in landscapes of high cultural value that are facing significant environmental challenges. In doing so, it develops co-creation experiments involving creative actors, public bodies, researchers and civil society. The project intends to bring artistic and creative actions into dialogue with the specific needs of the territories, to imagine new scenarios and experiment innovative practices that connect human actions, landscape heritage and sustainability objectives. PALIMPSEST is active in three “pilot landscapes” with strong cultural identities: Jerez de la Frontera (ES) and the wine landscape that is transforming into an energy landscape, Lodz (PL) a former industrial city among the most polluted in Europe and Milan (IT) with the Lambro river landscape and its broken relationship with the city.
