Through territorial analyses, GIS-based tools, and design experiments developed in different Italian contexts, the research proposes strategies and spatial models aimed at transforming existing photovoltaic fields into next-generation <strong>\u201csolarscapes\u201d<\/strong>, integrating energy production with ecological and landscape objectives.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work is the result of a multidisciplinary collaboration between research teams from the <strong>Politecnico di Torino<\/strong>, the <strong>Politecnico di Milano<\/strong>, and the <strong>Universit\u00e0 di Torino<\/strong>, combining expertise in architecture, landscape design, and agronomy to develop tools and visions that can support future policies and practices for the transformation of energy landscapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book presents the first results of the research project Next Generation Solar Landscapes, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research within the PRIN 2022 programme.
