- Abstract : The book advocates for a re- consideration of the landscape in a humanistic perspective, counting on the landscape as an integrative and dynamic entity , a "living" entity, form + meaning , moving in space and time , "hatching " out of historical linearity . The emphasis is placed on the qualitative attributes of the landscape as an intrinsic resource, based on the ability of those who live it to understand it from the higher level of creativity. The Becoming Landscape is viewed from two different - but complementary- directions : on one hand as a “becoming in”( “intru”- rom.), in terms of Constantin Noica , a move with a purpose, a meaning ; and on the other hand, as a infinitely ramified budding, rhizomatic as in Deleuze 's theory , based on the assimilation of both vernacular poetry and cutting-edge technologies . The book is configured as a map of the Landscape "ages" - from the beginning as painting genre, to landscape - urbanism - architecture actual meaning, having rather the valence of an element which dissolves boundaries between various disciplines that approaches.
