Abstract

The article deals with the theme of artificial natures studying, above all, the scale of the domestic, as it relates to the role of nature in contemporary design. The narrative theme is at the heart of this essay as the nodal centre and theoretical starting point from which we rethink and redesign contemporary spaces. In particular, the term and concept of “kitsch” is studied, in its current guise and meaning, in order to deploy it as a tool and as a design method for new categories of project narration. Thereafter, using some artistic experiences and two architecture and landscape projects, the so-called “kitsch landscapes” act as a design counterpoint to the theoretical examination and open up the configuration of the design narrative for the domestic space, combining architecture and landscape together.
