Each edition brings together students, researchers, landscape architects, artists, philosophers, and practitioners to develop new forms of inquiry and representation. Through lectures, fieldwork, critical mapping, drawing, writing, installation, and design, Landscape Of[f] Limits promotes experimental approaches capable of engaging with the complexity of contemporary territorial conditions. By engaging internationally recognized voices from both academia and professional practice, the workshop exposes students to diverse methodologies, critical positions, and design cultures beyond conventional teaching models.

This diversity is reflected in both the teaching team and the participants. Students from different universities, and countries work collectively within intensive atelier structures, creating a temporary community where multiple perspectives meet through dialogue, exchange, and collaboration.

At the same time, Landscape Of[f] Limits is deeply rooted in the territory that hosts it. Each edition engages directly with the Province of Piacenza, treating it not simply as a site of application but as a living laboratory through which broader environmental and social questions can be investigated. Rivers, infrastructures, agricultural systems, settlements, ecological networks, and local knowledge become the material through which global challenges are interpreted.

Rather than seeking definitive solutions, the workshop cultivates critical positions and alternative imaginaries. Design becomes an investigative tool through which hidden relationships, latent ecologies, and emerging forms of coexistence can be revealed.

Operating between research, education, and public engagement, Landscape Of[f] Limits aims to expand the ways landscape is perceived, represented, and transformed, fostering forms of knowledge capable of confronting the uncertainties that define contemporary territories.
