Paisatges sagrats: la peregrinació: “…una aproximació a la relació de l’home amb l’entorn a través del sagrat…”

Abstract

This paper describes an exercise of reflection about the concepts on which we base our urbanism and landscape practice. The recognition of a complex reality such as sacred landscapes and the need of finding new tools fleeing rigidity and closed systems leads us to the necessary inclusion of the experience factor in this approach to landscape. The work presents a new paradigm, where the landscape is understood as a relationship between tangible and intangible, culture and spirituality, subject and environment… Through the study of pilgrimages as sacred landscapes, we will try to show a new sensitivity in understanding the landscape, an approach through human spirituality, and this paper tries to show the elements that conform this interaction.
