- Abstract:
- The impact of the Great War militarization processes has transformed most of Europe s territories, creating a meaningful warscape both in a material and cultural way. As a result of the inevitable post-war landscape transformations, the dense networks of military buildings designed for the war, as well as the traces of destruction, have been reabsorbed in the dynamics of landscape transformation, and today they remain almost exclusively as isolated fragments and, especially with regard to field fortifications, often barely recognizable. The need to recover a systemic look to give strength to the network of vestiges as a system becomes a matter of primary importance. In this sense, the interpretations of LIDAR data and some specific visualizations of the same (Hillshade and Skyview-factor visualization) can provide very useful elaborations to facilitate the recognition of the permanence of such vestiges in today s landscape, to constitute an indispensable base of knowledge on which to set future choices in terms of conservation, selection, and transformation.
