Researchers have studied landscape evolutions, by means of morphological analysis, since the 19th century. In ssss1 of this book, we shall consider the way in which authors have apprehended the dynamics of shape and have conceptualized persistence and change in the forms of a landscape. Different approaches have been used in specific contexts of spatial and social change; morphological analysis, as a scientific approach to the study of landscape, has moved from an essentially cognitive to an essentially normative approach and repeated over time. For this reason, the approaches taken by researchers interested in the “temporal” aspects of landscape change (archeologists, geographers, historians, etc.) are presented alongside the approaches taken by those involved in shaping our current habitat (architects, urban planners, etc.). In this way, we aim to highlight the articulations and distinctions between temporal and spatial aspects in architecture and urban planning. Leaving behind the traditional approach, in which the continuity of forms in a landscape is seen in terms of inertia or as a form of palimpsest, we shall show how the notions of complex systems, self-organization and resilience provide a new and effective framework for morphological landscape analysis. Particular attention will be paid to the concept of ecological resilience and its application to the field of archeogeography, notably with respect to the multiple temporalities at work in landscape systems.
