Representation is an indispensable creative process, able to develop our thinking, making us more aware and weaving a new connection with the land¬scapes surrounding us. For the landscape architect, representation is fundamental to unravelling all those values that un¬derlie reality. It also allows the develop¬ment of an analytical, introspective and observational capacity that goes beyond the mental and social structures we have grown up with. Representation is, there¬fore, a proper form of communication that translates thoughts into images, managing to develop a landscape sensi¬tivity of which the designer is the spokes¬man and interpreter. In landscape archi¬tecture, there were always the tendency to consider nature systemically as if paint¬ing and botany are inextricably linked. Despite everything, representation is cur¬rently experiencing a crisis – especially in the school system where probably it is not considered enough. Instead, representa¬tion can be understood as a tool able to stimulate the creativity of designers and students in their creative process. Sen¬sibility, awareness and creativity are the centralvalues of representation, which, thanks to the attention to terrestrial, communicative and personal phenome¬na, make culture, ecology and landscape expressive complements of the project.Representation is an indispensable creative process, able to develop our thinking, making us more aware and weaving a new connection with the land¬scapes surrounding us.
