Creative Drivers for Sustainable
Living Heritage Landscapes

PALIMPSEST focuses on regenerating the lost sustainability wisdom in heritage landscapes through co-creation with creative actors, technical stakeholders and civic society. Architecture, design and art practices dialogue with place-specific needs and broad systemic challenges to imagine new scenarios and experiment with innovative practices connecting human actions, landscape heritage and sustainability objectives. To experiment and envision novel landscape scenarios, PALIMPSEST focuses on three pilot landscapes with diverse cultural identities and environmental problems.
