Abstract

This project focuses on the hinterland of Trieste, the Classic Karst plateau. It tries to rethink landscape maintenance approaches, seeking alternatives to aforestation that appreciate the three millennia long landscape identity of the karst as consisting of semi-natural dry grasslands. With advanced technological developments traditional techniques are revisited and improved, to alter and revitalise the territory, resulting in a more sustainable karst environment.
