PALERMO 2019: GREEN LINE
2017
L'organizzazione di un Laboratorio internazionale di Progettazione Architettonica ha rivelato l'importanza di accostare figure provenienti dal mondo accademico e istituzionale ancor prima che Palermo presentasse la sua proposta di candidatura a Capitale Europea della Cultura 2019. Questa esperienza, che si è rivelata utile per definire alcuni spazi incerti della città, è risultata assai stimolante per la comunità scientifica e per le istituzioni coinvolte. La consapevolezza del ruolo di servizio e di indirizzo che la comunità scientifica deve assumersi nei confronti del proprio territorio, i rimando ai temi che riguardano l'architettura e il territorio della città mediterranea, l'attenzione…
Dubái: estrategias para una posible transición urbana
2020
The article presents the work "Dubai Pop-Up. Architecture in a transient city", the result of an international design workshop (coordinated by T. Aglieri Rinella and R. Garcia Rubio) which brought the Dubai question to the center, bringing together a large number of teachers and students to think how to introduce new ways of thinking about the city. Thanks to the diversified and sometimes surprising hypotheses that the projects developed suggest, it is clear how open the degree of alternatives to that development model only oriented on the “monoculture of profit” that has guided urban choices in this city up to now can still be.
Nuove strategie per il bene collettivo: crowdfunding civico al Parco Uditore di Palermo
2015
Il tema del crowdfunding civico riguarda la partecipazione pubblica alla gestione del territorio. In particolare, la possibilità di attuare meccanismi di finanziamento autonomi e autogestiti per la realizzazione di opere pubbliche (seppure di limitata entità) costringe gli amministratori e i tecnici a confrontarsi con l’avvenuta conquista, da parte della cittadinanza, di una parte del potere decisionale. Quanto è opportuno che gli esiti della consultazione pubblica abbiano un canale di finanziamento specifico? Quali garanzie del processo partecipativo sono necessarie perché le richieste dei cittadini siano coerenti con le linee generali della pianificazione locale e sovralocale, e si possan…

2017
During the last decade, the city of Palermo has been undergoing relevant transformations from various perspectives. This has been the consequences of a multitude of circumstances, European financial crisis, migrants/refugees crisis, a new administration of the city and an increased awareness and responsibility among the citizens. Various national and international recognitions (Italian Cultural Capital 2018, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, Manifesta 12, Youth Capital 2017) have confirmed that they are on the right path. This positive moment has been launched and, progressively, rid- den by many young professionals that decided to challenge the present situation by investing their…

Postpandemic Urban Habitat in the Age of Contamination
2020
The challenge for post-pandemic urban habitats will be to recover their natural polycentrism, the diversity of their neighborhoods which, ceasing to be fragile suburbs, return to being places of lives and not just of homes, bridging the educational, working, cultural, digital divides, acquiring micro-places of public health and self-sufficient energy communities. I imagine cities of a renewed urban proxemic made up of "augmented urban communities" (according to the principles I described earlier) that reduce their frantic centripetal mobility and that facilitate a more measured mobility guaranteeing the answer to many needs within 15 minutes from home (the “15-minute city”, as already launc…
