Repoliticizing Green Spaces in Urban Transitions. The Relevance of Governance for Equitable Ecological Planning
In the pursuit of ecological transitions, city administrations emerge as key players in implementing global strategies. Urban ecological planning responds to several major objectives outlined in global sustainable agendas, and urban experimentation is considered an ideal arena for developing and testing models of renaturalization. However, this greening momentum is also serving as a means to depoliticize planning processes and city governance. De…
How Design Is Appropriated
The relationship between people and designed space is often approached exclusively with text-based research techniques (e.g., interviews and questionnaires). After proposing a theoretical framework for design from a sociological perspective, this paper first illustrates the limitations of those techniques when investigating appropriation of designed space, i.e., situated behaviors and perceptions. Then, the observation of socio-environmental indi…
Design for Climate Change in the Neoliberal Present
Climate urbanism is an emerging field of action that aims to adapt to or mitigate the impacts of climate change on cities. These interventions are often framed by narratives of climate collapse, implying that there is not enough time to engage citizens in participatory planning processes. Some scholars have argued that this may also enable the realization of urban interventions that would otherwise be difficult to implement under ordinary circums…
Trans Territorialization
Transgender/gender non-conforming (TGNC) people and especially people of color face homelessness and housing precarity in the United States at much higher rates than other LGBTQ+ people. In response, during the past decade, TGNC-centered organizations have spearheaded new forms of housing activism, such as cooperatives and Community Land Trusts, building spaces with distinct spatial and aesthetic characteristics. This paper situates those spaces …
Progetto e abitare tra monoscalarità e transcalarità. Riflessioni a margine di una crisi pandemica
La formazione delle Scuole di Architettura è perlopiù mono-scalare, nel senso che tende a concentrarsi su una sola scala progettuale. L'abitare è invece inter-scalare. Questa asincronia tra agire progettuale e abitare genera una tensione tra gli esiti del costruito e i suoi destinatari. Qui si mette ciò in relazione con i problemi generati da emergenze sanitarie di tipo pandemico, valutando come la limitata socialità imposta dalle misure di preve…
Promoting autonomy through home adaptations. Appropriation of domestic spaces in Italy
While the person-environment relationship is one of the structuring frameworks of daily life in general, for disabled people this relationship is a decisive one. ADA is an action research project which assessed the person-environment relationship of people with severe disabilities and subsequently proposed home adaptations to improve their autonomy, well-being and quality of life. The article introduces the framework of ADA and its strategy to pe…
A dynamic sense of home
In highly industrialized and institutionalized societies aiming for maximum efficiency, individual activities must be synchronized with the daily rhythms of a city. As a spatial and institutional realm, the city imposes on people and influences their level of attachment, consequently altering their sense of home. This is most obvious in contemporary cities, where daily life involves movement, and where rest is often sought outside the living plac…
Dinamični občutek doma
V visoko industrializiranih in institucionaliziranih družbah, ki stremijo k čim večji učinkovitosti, morajo biti posameznikove dejavnosti usklajene z dnevnim ritmom mesta. Kot prostorsko in institucionalno okolje se mesto ljudem vsiljuje in vpliva na stopnjo njihove navezanosti na kraj, s tem pa posledično spreminja njihov občutek doma. To je najopaznejše v današnjih mestih, kjer je vsakdanje življenje zelo dinamično in se počitek pogosto odvija …
Dispersion of Home in Contemporary City
This article explores the multidimensional concept of home through the relationship of the self and the city. The case study is Tokyo, and sense of home and homelike activities of its young dwellers are explored, analyzed, and discussed within the integrated unity of their spatial, sociocultural, and psychological/temporal properties. Semistructured interviews were conducted in order to grasp the rhythm and the dynamics of the daily lives of the …
Ricerca e progetto come innovazione sociale. Modelli di pratiche a confronto in tre casi studio
The essay reflects on the relationship between design and social research. Three case studies are discussed, and the practices of cultural mapping and co-design are used to exem- plify the possible continuity between empirical research and design. The three case studies are strategic actions coordinated by the authors in various contexts, both national (Altamura) and international (Malta; Palestinian Territories
L'immagine mentale dell'area vasta. Le categorie di Lynch applicate alla percezione del paesaggio
Il saggio mostra l'applicabilitŕ delle categorie di Kevin Lynch alla scala dell'area vasta. In occasione di una ricerca sul rapporto tra abitanti e paesaggio nel complesso collinare del Montalbano, nella campagna toscana, gli autori ricostruiscono l'immagine mentale del luogo, mettendo in luce le molteplici articolazioni e le stratificazioni dell'identitŕ locale. Gli autori mostrano come alcuni elementi del programma di Kevin Lynch conservino la …
