Papers by Filippo Angelucci
We need to think of the present from a disenchanted prognosis, which welds the genesis of the 'totally administrated world' to that of 'automation'; we need to defuse the naive relationship with 'enabling technologies' that too often still mask and legitimise a persistent banality of evil, still boasted, amidst the new barbed wire of sensors, as an unchangeable destiny.
In the disciplines of Architecture, however, it is important to focus on the technology that not only anticipates or solves problems thanks to the digital processes and devices, but it also contributes to enabling multiple states of co-evolutionary adaptivity between bios and techne.
On these questions, the issue of the enabling role of technology has been brought to the attention of some researchers who deal with the multiple challenges posed by technological innovations with respect to the complexities of doing Architecture. The contributions of Nicola Emery, Maurizio Ferraris, and Paolo Tombesi highlighted that the problem is not to classify, reorientate, deny, or exalt techniques as more or less enabling resources. A much more complex scenario emerges concerning the theoretical, anthropological, and methodological aspects of designing. The real challenge is to regain possession of the technological skills to connect or recompose different technical levels in an enabling, plural, and multidimensional organic vision, to guarantee, consolidate and improve our behavioral and housing attitudes.

dei paradigmi della smartness e della healthiness negli interventi mirati al miglioramento
delle capacità di resilienza delle città e del territorio.
Si tratta di ambiti di indagine collocabili in specifici settori scientifici e differenti livelli
d’intervento rispetto ai quali è possibile però rintracciare alcuni segnali di convergenza
tra varie discipline.
Questo volume intende ricostruire un primo quadro delle relazioni interdisciplinari che
si stanno instaurando tra nuove posizioni teoriche, sperimentazioni metodologiche ed
esperienze di ricerca applicata, e in cui i paradigmi della smartness e della healthiness sono interpretati come principali vettori d’innovazione per avviarsi sulla strada della transizione verso l’habitat resiliente.
Dai saggi degli autori che hanno preso parte a questo progetto emergono importanti
orizzonti di ricerca che dovranno essere sviluppati nel prossimo futuro. Tra essi: il recupero e la reinterpretazione innovativa delle relazioni ambientali cicliche e di processo tra città e territorio, la revisione di approcci e strumenti di analisi per la conoscenza e la gestione integrata delle risorse, la centralità degli obiettivi di inclusione e partecipazione nelle politiche di sviluppo urbano e territoriale, la necessità di affiancare alle innovazioni tecniche materiali anche un’innovazione tecnologica immateriale e informazionale, l’urgenza di sperimentare e avviare nuove forme di governo e monitoraggio della qualità abitativa nelle trasformazioni dell’habitat antropizzato.
Ne emerge uno scenario di ricerca particolarmente stimolante per il futuro della progettazione interdisciplinare e in cui ricercare approcci, strumenti e logiche di intervento
per ristabilire armonie infrante tra umanità e natura, in una visione dell’habitat antropico che torna a esprimere capacità reattive ai cambiamenti, a coltivare l’intelligenza collettiva dei suoi abitanti e a caratterizzare lo spazio come sistema capace di migliorare le condizioni di salute fisica e psichica delle persone.
A real adaptivity of the urban open spaces can only result from an informational redirection of the project aimed at raising the integrated capabilities of nature, individuals, organizations, and spaces. This is an interpretation of designing that involves a substantial rethinking of scenarios, visions, and concepts, in terms of plural projection of multiple, flexible, and reversible responses. It is also a new condition of the design experience that can only develop through an interdisciplinary and choral practice, based on comparison and continuous dialogue between different design knowledge and living cultures.
This volume collects the results of the Mediterranean Urban Campus for Regeneration project, that was selected by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs among the initiatives carried out at the Italy Pavilion of Expo 2020 in Dubai. All the activities
were conducted by an international universitarian team of professors, researchers, and PhD students.
Today, the metropolis of Dubai is characterized by an extreme climatic-environmental conditions and, at the same time, by an almost infinite capacity to regulate the living spaces through the most innovative technologies. The theme of adaptive design of open urban spaces has been contextualized in some case-study areas of Dubai. The results of the metadesign, debate, workshop and comparison process between the participants outlined a complex framework of different development trajectories, both for the designing innovation of the urban open spaces, and for the launch of new teaching methods of architectural, technological, and urban project. This experience has made it possible to identify issues, approaches, and design criteria – on urban and building scale – potentially replicable also in the Mediterranean contexts that are today affected by an exacerbation of climatic phenomena, such as the rise in temperatures and the consequent need to overturn the consolidates axioms and design practices. For these reasons, the experience of the Mediterranean Urban Campus for Regeneration can represent a useful anticipation of operating methods to be transferred
on the Italian urban territories. Reflecting on these issues means understanding how the university research can take an active role in the development of studies and scenarios to support the operational actions at the land and local level.
This introduced the first discussions of urban resilience, landscape resilience and even the resilience of buildings.
The definitions attributed to the term as resilience of complex socio-ecological systems also suggest a shift in content and significance linked principally to the development of projects that take into account the conservation and regeneration of landscape values. In the short to medium-term, the acceptance and specific socio-ecological definition of the concept of resilience in the field of landscape design will undoubtedly comport a re-orientation, if not a true evolution in relations between inhabited space and building technologies, beginning precisely with new methodologies and the systemic theoretical-applied foundations of this new paradigm. The design of the landscape, with its diverse territorial environments and its technical components, in relation to the paradigm of resilience, must be reinterpreted increasingly more as a process of technological-
environmental transformation of inhabited space in its entirety and its consistency as a complex system of
interaction between man, nature, artefacts and society.
Their projects begin with technological, economic and social aspects of the context to give us a vision centered on awareness and responsibility in construction when environmentally transforming land- and city-scapes.
The works in this book, selected from the most significant products of the group, illustrate research where the theme of the building envelope becomes the central node of design experimentation.
In BEAR projects the envelope assumes the role of interface between the material and energy resources of the site. It helps define the ability to adapt what is being built
to contextual factors. The envelope itself becomes architectural space.
edilizie e urbane. Le logiche e le regole insediative dello spazio antropizzato si sono manifestate quasi sempre in relazione a vincoli di natura energetica, a volte in armonia con l’avanzare delle innovazioni tecnologiche, in altri casi in contrapposizione al mutare della cultura tecnicoscientifica del tempo.
Nello scenario post Protocollo di Kyoto e Conferenza di Copenhagen, né l’esasperato sperimentalismo innovativo, né l’integralismo conservativo sembrano in grado di risolvere la complessità dell’attuale situazione energetica. Le trasformazioni
ambientali, in vista delle mutate esigenze di approvvigionamento energetico, richiedono oggi una capacità di gestione progettuale delle risorse tecnologiche che appare particolarmente complessa e in cui è difficile avanzare posizioni risolutive nette e unilaterali. La questione energetica sembra far emergere piuttosto la necessità di un atteggiamento progettuale in grado di ragionare su un’idea di paesaggio fortemente connotato dalle tecnologie per la produzione e la trasformazione dell’energia, in cui instaurare un nuovo scenario di relazioni tra territorio, mercato, produttori e utenti finali. Un nuovo paesaggio energetico, costruito mediante l’uso adeguato e ragionevole delle tecnologie, nel panorama dei riferimenti e delle responsabilità del mercato globale, per garantire uno sviluppo organico e sostenibile dei sistemi insediativi locali.
In questa direzione, un gruppo interdisciplinare che opera da diversi anni presso l’Università degli Studi G. d’Annunzio di Chieti-Pescara ha avviato studi e ricerche sulle potenzialità progettuali che si prospettano nella costruzione di un paesaggio energetico futuro, alla luce del quadro problematico e vincolistico prodotto dalle nuove politiche di incentivazione dell’uso delle fonti rinnovabili e in vista del più ampio processo di riorganizzazione energetica del territorio, dell’architettura e dei sistemi economico-produttivi che si sta delineando nelle singole realtà locali e su scala mondiale.
Il libro riassume i risultati emersi nel corso di queste attività scientifiche congiunte, evidenziando i possibili scenari di innovazione tecnologicoprogettuale nel settore della produzione energetica, con cui delineare risposte in grado di garantire la conservazione e la rigenerazione continua delle risorse ambientali, nel rispetto delle variabili naturali, socio-culturali ed estetico-percettive del paesaggio.
