The most eagerly awaited report of the Workshop on the landscape of San Biagio della Cima was to of Serge Latouche . intervention, to be honest, not particularly bright ... will be that it was in Italian and French. A bit of logical leaps here and there, some passwords. Part of the reasoning which seemed to me more complete was the one referring to the idea of \u200b\u200ba city that goes with the hypothesis that the decrease.
The city of decreasing, according to Latouche, is one that reduces its carbon footprint. And then? a compact city but not a vertical city. A city divided into "urban villages," a city made villages, or rather a polycentric city, a city of neighborhoods self-sufficient from the point of view function is in terms of energy.
I would say that this brief description of the "city descending" I is not new.
urban theories, since the seventies, focused on the idea of \u200b\u200bcommunity, that is clearly defined on the space within which the distance between the need (or desire) and Your satisfaction is minimal.
From what I know, research on American communities between the nineteenth and twentieth century of Oswald Mathias Ungers and his wife who were in the book published in 1972 in der Neuen Welt Kommunen, constitute an important precedent and, above all, mate clearly the idea of \u200b\u200ba community well-defined urban program.
From the examples of the Woodstock Concert Altmont, during which some were instantly urbanized rural areas by groups of people who recognized themselves in common ideals, Ungers contemplates the West Berlin of the sixties, a city that is completely isolated from the rest of the territory and composed of highly independent of each other suburbs inhabited by people completely and stamped by a broader use of the land. Then it was too easy to think so: it was an island in the former GDR.
In the seventies, this insight was further developed to get to Berlin as Verde Archipelago: a federation of small urban communities and strongly characterized socially and formally, set in a forest. From here it follows, for example, the cellular structure of urban areas.
This is the idea of \u200b\u200btown to be the foundation of the last two conceptions of urban contemporary city: the Koolhaas' Bigness and Ville dans le Ville of Leon Krier.
Both of these theories propose the structure and concentrated in parts of the city are opposed to seamless continuum. From this common assumption, then, open a case quite different.
Serge Latouche seems very close to Leon Krier, who is described qui . Anzi, sembra proprio il Principe di Galles... E questo non mi sembra un male.
L'unico dubbio è questo: chissà cosa ne penserà la CGIL locale che al Laboratorio in onore di Biamonti era schierata quasi al completo. Forse che allorché si parla di idee, in realtà, si pesca un pò tutti dallo stesso bidone? Alla faccia delle fazioni che quotidianamente si dividono sul nulla.
