Alimentare la Resilienza : approcci e metodi per orientare un modello di sviluppo orizzontale nelle aree interne siciliane
2021
Contro il perdurante modello di sviluppo dissipativo e distruttivo dell’Antropocene (Crutzen e Stoermer, 2000), l’Augmented City Lab (ACL) teorizza e sperimenta modelli per uno sviluppo locale di città e territori neoantropocenici, ispirati da una nuova responsabilità e una nuova ermeneutica del piano territoriale e del progetto urbanistico come esito di una creatività generatrice di cure, di recuperi e di riattivazioni di centri urbani che tornino ad alimentare cicli di vita, a coltivare i talenti degli abitanti, ad attrarre idee, a generare innovazione, a produrre nuove economie e a rafforzare reti di solidarietà (Carta, 2021 e Carta & Ronsivalle, 2020). Il Laboratorio di ricerca Augm…
Planning Augmented Cities in the Neoanthropocene
2020
To improve the effects of the connecting “augmented urbanism”, I have set up ten keywords able to reset spatial planning for the Augmented City in the face of the 21st century challenges. The Augmented City’s practices grow with exponential progression doubling its components, connections and impacts seen in the last years, to one incredible and disruptive acceleration. We are surrounded by thousands of practices in the spread of sensors and intelligent devices, in collaborative design and return of urban manufacturing, in explosion of creativity and increase of resilience, and several experiments in recycling of everything, fluidisation and networking of cities, and adoption of incremental…
Post-pandemic Urban Habitat in the Neoanthropocene
2022
While the eyes of most analysts had been pointed on searching the apparition of the “black swan” (Taleb 2007), waiting with fear for the arrival of an unexpected event that would generate the new crisis, nobody wanted to see the “gray rhino” (a well-known risk that we want to ignore) that had been running furiously toward us by announcing the leap in the level of the environmental crisis, the umpteenth consequence of climate change on our lives. The COVID-19 pandemic, in fact, after numerous unheard alarms (Meadows, Meadows et al. 1972; Rockström et al. 2009), was the signal that the planet sent to our species to warn us to change: 98% of the Earth (nature) rebelled against the enormous env…
ANTHROPOCENE: NEW ENCOUNTERS, OLD PATTERNS. A FEW COMMENTS ON PAYMENTS FOR ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
2021
This paper focuses on one of the answers that have been given to the question: what type of change is to be pursued to limit human impact on the Earth while considering the needs of poor and disadvantaged communities? In particular it looks at a proposal that combines sustainable development approaches with market mechanisms and top- down technocratic responses: Payments for Ecosystem Services frameworks. They have been criticized by many points of view and this paper questions, in particular, their very reliance on the market, questioning their appropriateness for the regulation of conser- vation activities and their interaction with local communities.
Ontologie del limite. Analisi della produzione di spazi al termine della Modernità
La critica heideggeriana all’umanismo e la tecnica: per un decentramento dell’umano al tempo dell’antropocene.
2022
The context in which Heidegger’s technique is represented as the ultimate achievement of modern metaphysics is the same in which the critique of humanism of the metaphysical tradition matures, but above all in which the perspective of decentralization of the human to the detriment of any residual anthropology emerges with ever greater clarity. This overall critical vision is inscribed in the broader context in which the question of technique is posed with the Kehre on an ontological and not anthropological basis on the basis of the new formulation of the Seinsfrage. The rethinking of the essence of the human starting from the difference from the other, from an otherness that man does not ha…

Disaster Resilience and Human Settlements in the Anthropocene
2023
The chapter sets the context starting from the emerging perspectives on disaster resilience and human settlements in the larger context of the proposed new geological era of Anthropocene. It explores the impact of disasters on the human settlements, giving examples and illustrating the theoretical reference framework regarding the birth of the idea of the Anthropocene. The chapter focuses on the interdisci-plinary nature of the ‘disaster resilience and human settlements’ theme in relation to the various global development agendas, including the Expanded Brown Agenda, the Hyogo Framework of Action, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,…
