With the ultimate goal of ensuring that the landscape of sustainable production is considered beautiful, the first part of this thesis studies the theories that explain the emergence of the idea of landscape, the cultural construction of the idea of beauty, and the tools to implement poetic visions onto territories of the pragmatic. Artealization processes, as described by Alain Roger to understand the emergence of the idea of landscape according to its classical definition, can be extrapolated to other contexts and actively implemented to foster the emergence of new desirable landscapes. The main body of this work is a catalogue of artealisations of productive landscapes, as made necessary by the the current triple crisis (environment, energy, finance), in the form of a chronological time-field study. Reading through and across this chronogram will help us accept them as necessary, precedented and, ultimately, desirable.
