FAMUSA

"Natural environments become landscapes as people interpret them in the light of a specific model, mental image, or certain historical representation.”

Once, mountains were considered as hostile places. So far away and dangerous, they went unnoticed for the eyes of the population. Based on the essay titled El Paradís Indicible from Francesc Roma i Casanovas -PhD in human geography- the project FAMUSA thinks over the understanding we, as individuals and society, have about nature and how this affects the way we relate with it. Delimiting the space for the development of the study to a specific site, the iconic mountain of Montserrat.

 According to Roma i Casanovas, “Natural environments become landscapes as people interpret them in the light of a specific model, mental image, or certain historical representation.” In that sense, the following questions are proposed:

Which model influence the way we are understanding nature surrounding us? Could underlay in the environment a different reality to the one we commonly experience?
