Architectural and Urban Design for Shifting Conditions
Beyond the urgency of rethinking XXth century urbanization characterized by the strategy of an endless structural expansion, we need to engage urban systems by means of emerging concepts of adaptability and systemic transitions due to climate change effects.
Emission reduction and spatial compactness, reuse and recycle, flexibility and complex balances have a profound impact on the spatial dimension and the quality of urban environment, therefore architectural and urban design are deeply involved in facing ecological transitions and envisioning new strategies to implement the quality of the cities we live in.
How to face these emergent challenges? Which are the ongoing design strategies to climate change effects? Which will be the space for design in transitional systems? Do we recognize it as an opportunity for the improvement of the public space?
The International Seminar has the aim to present, from an architectural and urban design point of view, methodologies, practices and approaches to overcome existing and new fragilities for Cities in Times of Transition.
