Sumario:[EN] The factors that define the identity of the landscape are broad, varied and variable, but there is no doubt that topography has played an important role in its configuration. Due to its strong physical presence, its strategic and political role or its long-standing mystical and religious conditioning that human beings have been giving it throughout history, the mountain has marked the relationship of the inhabitants with their different mountainous habitats. However, in the present global era, the identity of place is increasingly diluted and the landscapes are homogenized in excess, overlapping with the intrinsic topographic characteristics that confer them quality. The present article, through an inspection of the topographic factor in the development of landscape identity and exemplified by a series of current landscape architecture designs, aims to demonstrate the maxim that a re-reading of the topography in the landscape design can turn the today’s impoverished panorama described. Thus, a look at the past, with the return to the mountain, helps to look towards the future and to a new landscape identity.
