Adaptation vs fragility, rule vs exception: antinomies of the architectural heritage
2019
The positive meaning of the concept of resilience has actually been intensified, moving from the materials science (where it indicates the property of a material to absorb impacts without breaking), to psychology (where it indicates the capacity of individuals to face and get over traumas and difficulties). In the evolutionary vision, the ability of an organism to adapt to environmental mutations is a condition for survival. Similarly, in the technological field, the capacity of changing state, i.e. flexibility, is a system’s feature that permits its adaptive transformations, by increasing at the same time its performance standards. The positive meaning is also recognized when applied to na…
PRINCIPI CONCETTI E METODOLOGIE DELLA RIGENERAZIONE RESILIENTE
2021
The idea of regeneration is the one that best adheres to an inclusive practice of architecture, capable of accepting the continuous change, made of adaptations and contradictions of the built environment we have been given, and of processing its inputs. We can certainly start from an established awareness, that the success of regeneration projects is strongly related to the ability to govern the processes of which they are part. These concepts and actions are at the basis of every regeneration intervention and of the urban transformation modalities that it brings to the built environment, including the new complex elements of the socio-economic processes taking place in the contemporary wor…
PRINCIPLES OF RESILIENCE AND REGENERATIVE DESIGN IN COASTAL ENVIRONMENT
2020
The paper explains critically principles, methodological approaches and strategic project actions for a greater resilience of the built environment. In particular, the concept of resilience is explored in relation to sustainability and Regenerative Design applied to the built environment. The theme of Regenerative Design is studied and promoted as an adaptive strategy in the planning phase, requires, compared to Resilience’s theme, that nature strengthens its capacity for self-healing and its integrity, trying to give us back what the industrial development has taken away from the natural system, through the use of integrated regenerative methodologies. We examine in depth the case study of…
