This book relates spatial existence to the challenges arising from the critical times we are living and from the supposedly degrading moral nature of our societies. It contains contributions from architectural theory and education, urban, spatial and regional studies, as well as cultural landscape studies. The book critically addresses issues in the context of today's major cultural, moral, political, economical, ecological, ideological, and spiritual crises. It provides a focus and a conceptual framework about our most crucial spaces in the light of crises. Alexandru Calcatinge is research and teaching assistant professor at the Faculty of Urban Planning at Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urban Planning in Bucharest.

The cultural landscape is what lies around us and has to be understood and learned to deal with. The best way to do this is to start from the beginning in order to understand the contemporary iterations of the concept. We will not reinvent the concept, but we will try to create a new way to see it. The operative concept of cultural landscape is part of a reality that is seen and visioned differently by each individual. This means that the concept has an almost infinite number of meanings. Thus this book presents some of the visions of the surrounding reality through the eyes of an architect.

The research in this book was born from an intellectual curiosity regarding the concept of 'cultural landscape.' The study resulted from a desire to clarify and expand the understanding of the term, as the starting point was the idea that a good practice is always based on a well-built theory. Thus, the purpose is to establish the importance of theoretical knowledge of the concept of 'cultural landscape.' (Series: Urban and Spatial Planning / Stadt- und Raumplanung - Vol. 12)
