description This research paper attempts to shift the approach and the possible attitudes of architectural and landscape design towards an interpretation of ecological transition based on the dimension of the ‘wild’, that is, on the possibility that the transformation of places by man contemplates other and the most diverse forms of life, spheres of proximity in which human activities give way to third and fourth natures, which develop their own habitats in an autonomous, dynamic and vital manner. In this reflection, thinking about a ‘landscape of the wild’ means thinking again about the relationship between human and natural habitats, which develops on many levels that cannot be reduced and simplified in the impending phenomenon of ‘rewilding’, ranging from the possibility of giving shape to the spaces of nature, of creating new forms of shared spaces between man and living things, to the conception of minimal architectures necessary to stimulate ancient human practices (such as walking) and which are capable of developing new ecologies.   Article info Received: 23/03/2023; Revised: 25/04/2023; Accepted: 08/05/2023
