Designing and building sensorial and interactive spaces in the natural landscape

The growing need to reconsider the relationship between man and nature calls for new ways of interaction. In this re-connection to natural values, architecture can create points of contact and experiences that maximize therapeutic benefits. This study explores the challenge of designing environments that foster positive connections with nature, focusing on the Cilento National Park, Vallo di Diano, and Alburni. The goal is to expand interest in inland areas by raising awareness of the architectural and landscape value of the local heritage. This project proposes a strategy to enhance the area by involving Laurino and other surrounding municipalities, using a scalable methodology. The proposal includes the creation of alternative tourist routes, with sustainable architectural projects that promote local development. A new interactive exhibition center serves as the focal point, while a suspended path over the landscape offers an immersive experience. Enhancing places like the Cilento Park can counter this trend by offering sustainable tourism and reconnecting people with nature. The multi-scale approach of this study provides a comprehensive strategy for landscape enhancement, transferable to other contexts. The analysis and representation of the territory form a solid foundation for future environmental and cultural enhancement projects.
