he visual reading of the aerial photo. The interpretation of the aerial photo in the technical documents on the territory

Abstract

This reflection proposes an analytic and critic lecture of the aerial photo. In other words, it defends his doubt because it doubts about his credibility. The aerial photo is with the map, a recreation of Nature, as science and art are, ideological creations able to invent and propose a universe at the same instant they reproduce it. The use, domestic or professional, it has been extended by the multiple digital platforms that exist in our devices and in our work environment. Technical documents that focus on the planning of the territory and landscape make use of the aerial photo to draw their maps and sometimes their interpretations are problematic, manipulative. As the poet says maps are attractive because they lie, because they represent much more than they said, as pictures do. This is therefore about thinking on the use these documents do nowadays as a tool for planning
