Progetto e paesaggio sono il prodotto della cultura soggettiva, una modalità di percepire e rappresentare i luoghi interpretata dalla nostra predisposizione e personalità, costruita sulla nostra conoscenza ed esperienza. Per dirla con Le Corbusier, «Un luogo o un paesaggio non esistono se non per come li vedono i nostri occhi».
