Process, Uncertainty, Immanency. Emerging aesthetics in contemporary environmental urban design practices

Design Processes for Transition claims for a critical perspective on the profound transformation of urban spaces and tissues under the pressure of the contemporary environmental crisis. The book is an experimental output of the joint research activity between the PhD Program Architectural, Urban and Interior Design (AUID) and the research program Territorial Fragilities (TF) at Politecnico di Milano. Starting from the reconsideration of the current, and sometimes abused lexicon of design approaches vis-a-vis the inducted transitions, it develops as a collection of textual and visual micro-narratives, building a questioning platform between experts, designer, young and experienced researchers in the design fields.
