DESCRIPTION:This call for submissions refers to the journal acronym (PAD. 
 Pages of Art and Design)\, that also stands for the topic chosen: 
 Landscape (Paesaggio in Italian)\, Art and Design. The topic focuses on: 
 how the landscape is a cross between art and design? landscape can be a 
 stage in which a work of art is produced or a background for the 
 interaction between art and design\; what is the landscape for a designer 
 and what is it for the artist? how physical and virtual Mediterranean 
 landscapes can be enhanced? it is also asked focus on the representation 
 of the landscape: from cartography to maps\, from communication to visual 
 identity. The two point of views\, both that of the artistic heritage and 
 that of the designer\, grow up at the Department of Design at the 
 Politecnico di Milano. The department consists of a very interdisciplinary
  environment in which a varied group of scholars researches from the 
 project to the cultural heritage\, from processes to historical aspects. 
 Then this call for paper refers to scholars in humanistic studies as well 
 as design studies. We are interested in texts that focus on a 
 theoretical\, aesthetic\, and critical approach as well as on projects 
 associated with the contemporary Mediterranean landscapes. Our focus is on
  water\, the coast\, the routes\, and all the traditions of this part of 
 Europe connected with the experience of the Mediterranean. This is the 
 geographical area that the PAD review has focused on since its beginning. 
 The fact that the Mediterranean is a closed sea allows the coasts to be in
  close quarters so that both traditions and weather are similar to their 
 connection to the sea. This region has also historically been a place of 
 exchange as well as the difficult road for many African and Middle Eastern
  immigrants in search of a better life until today. Studying these various
  territories and their interactions is a very complex task\, considering 
 the human migration on the Mediterranean is filled with historical roads 
 that contain a point of connections as well as lines of division between 
 cultures. Which kind of synergy exists in this area? Are art and design 
 able to develop new places connected with contemporary culture in this 
 context? Does any efficacious case of study exist between the 
 contamination of art and design and so can barriers and limits fall? If 
 so\, is this contamination able to eliminate the pre-existing cultural 
 barriers? Where is this kind of synergy of the Mediterranean born\, and 
 why are they born in this region? The call for paper demands the attention
  of a large field of interest for designers\, architects\, artists\, 
 curators\, cultural operators\, art critics\, and philosophers that study 
 the aesthetics of the landscape. We ask to send: abstract proposals (from 
 2000 to 3000 spaces) beats in English and original languages by July 15th 
 2019. full papers will be required to be submitted by September 15th 2019 
 and then be subjected to double-blind peer review. The length of the 
 contributions 20000/25000 characters (abstract\, notes and bibliography 
 excluded). illustrations (maximum 10 per article) must be collected in a 
 .zip folder to be renamed by accompanying the author&rsquo\;s surname and 
 a progressive numbering corresponding to the captions (eg 01_Cognome\, 
 02_Cognome). These should be listed in a document written in the same font
  as the main text and written on a Word .doc document as follows Figure 1:
  Author&rsquo\;s name and surname\, Title of the work\, date. Minimum 
 resolution of 300 dpi\, .JPG file. Abstract submission by mail to 
 editors@padjournal.net and cc to marinella.ferrara@polimi.it\;
