What is Radiant Landscape??
We talk about radiant landscape, but in reality this definition of landscape does not exist.
However, there are phenomena linked to solar and terrestrial radiation that interact with physical spaces, interfering with and therefore modifying the thermal behaviour of an urban space.

The diagram is available in dwg version in the category Bioclimatic
These phenomena are partly controllable and verifiable. Therefore, for us, the radiant landscape is that area of study and action on the territory that allows us, through the use of appropriate technologies, to control the action of radiant flows, so that their action can be piloted, reducing or incentivizing their effects.
