DESCRIPTION:Offering opportunities for interdisciplinary discussions aroun
 d urbanization\, the Open Fields Lunches aim to foster new collaboratio
 ns within the EPFL scientific community.\nEach meeting will be moderated b
 y a member of the HRC or its affiliated laboratories\, and will consist
  of a presentation by an international expert in the field\, followed by
  presentations by two EPFL researchers interested in sharing and discu
 ssing their research. The seminar will conclude with a debate open to all 
 the lunch participants.\n\nCultural Landscapes\n\nIn the ongoing socio-eco
 logical transition occurring globally\, it is vital to consider the social
 \, cultural\, and environmental dimensions of a place. Currently\, territo
 ries worldwide are experiencing a significant phase of urbanization\, whic
 h brings the study of human-climate interactions within cultural landscape
 s to the forefront as a critical area of research. During this seminar\, a
 n additional area of interest is understanding how cities\, in different c
 ontexts\, are integrating the cultural and aesthetic elements of landscape
 s\, and creating impactful infrastructures across broad areas while transf
 orming the nature of the city’s landscape and its territorial extent.\n\
 nMoreover\, foregrounding this dynamic relationship between humans\, land\
 , urban fabric\, and climate while examining cultural landscapes\, can pro
 vide a unique and valuable perspective. This approach could facilitate a c
 omprehensive investigation of how planning can enhance the resilience and 
 self-sufficiency of cities in relation to their territories and their cult
 ural heritage. Part of this exploration involves examining the evolution o
 f aesthetic norms in response to changes in climate\, societal dynamics\, 
 and the usage of these cultural landscapes.\n\n\nProgram\n \n\nIntroducti
