Gli spazi in quota rappresentano uno degli elementi che connotano l’architettura e il paesaggio urbano. La diffusione di nuove soluzioni funzionali, come balconi piantumati, logge inverdite, roof garden e vertical garden sta innescando un nuovo dibattito sulla città contemporanea e sul rapporto tra architettura e natura. Il legame tra ‘spazi aperti in quota’ e ‘natura’ rappresenta uno dei fattori più influenti del successo di questi dispositivi, che interpretano l’assunzione dei temi della ‘sostenibilità’ tramite un’ampia introiezione dell’elemento ‘verde’, ma che pongono allo stesso tempo interrogativi sulla semplificazione del dibattito attorno alle categorie estetiche del paesaggio urbano.

Abstract
Balconies, lodges , green roofs, solariums, etc. represent one of the ‘fundamentals’ (according to the definition by Rem Koolhaas at Biennale di Venezia 2014) of contemporary architecture, that is triggering a new debate on the contemporary city and its landscape. The link between these solutions and ‘nature’ is one of the most influential factors for their success. On the one hand this could be considered as a positive aspect for the ‘sustainability’ of the human action on the planet - in strictly environment al terms. On th e other hand, it poses urgent questions about the simplification of the aesthetic and cultural categories that are governing the evolution of the city.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
