Cover Story: Among the positive visions for cities and metropolitan areas for the third millennium, work on the dialectic between water and soil plays an increasingly important role in most landscape design activities. Soil, as a precious non-renewable resource, and water, between scarcity and excess, together represent a fundamental role in local and global balances, similar to the Chinese conception of shan-shui . With an ever-increasing recurrence, the interventions reflect the effects of this dialectic as a constitutive element, both in terms of morphologies and design approach, and of the reciprocal conditions of quality and resilience, combining ecosystem effects and cultural values. In some cases, this dyad has assumed the role of “raw material” in those design processes where they are called to specifically question the relationship between nature and human settlements.
