Architectural intelligence

Nowadays, the “Smart City” represents a concrete concept of development, able to provide answers to the needs expressed by the city users; a stage of growing interrelation, at all levels, between people, services, infrastructures and built environment. The city identifies a complex system, composed by an articulated network of connections: the constant demographic growth and urbanization dynamics feed a series of social, technical and organizational problems that deeply threaten the economic and environmental sustainability of territories. In this logic, the concept of Smart City is increasingly becoming subject of study within the architectural debate; a new model of urban development, capable of realizing a credible and intelligent response to foster a sustainable socio-economic growth.
