Beyond the rhetoric of the green and contemporary exploitation, the landscape is - in itself - an element of conflict. It is an alterity both considering the inhabited world and to the world of design. It questions new codes, aesthetics, tools, and vocabularies. It is therefore a probability. But the landscape is also otherness with respect to the inhabited world, it is a project that clarifies, reveals everything that instead the design world wants to mask, conceal, embellish, pacify. With this in mind, Seeds questions the original and primary meanings of the landscape and of our way of inhabiting the Earth: it investigates the landscape as a detector of the world’s asymmetries and, at the same time, as design alterity.
Seeds aims to generate a multicultural vocabulary. Seeds’ call for papers invites students, researchers, and professionals to launch new words that will build or would like to build the landscape of the future. Words are like seeds and, as with pioneer plants, they are sprouts of a new language, of a new multilingual grammar. The call invites to identify a word in your native language and to describe it in 500 characters in an original artwork. The call welcomes submissions from all design disciplines and 40 selected submissions will be projected to a parallel session of the Seeds Symposium, at the Pecci Center (December 2022).
