Experiments and utopias of a sustainable architecture

Sustainable architecture is a recent paradigm that reclassifies experiences and orients them into a new narrative. It is not always easy to go beyond the ideological and propaganda dimension of the sustainable idea and converting it into an operating parameter in the architectural project is a complicated step. The text proposes the analysis of some notable works and courageous strategies, also applied in developing societies, to lead sustainable mythologies into the bed of architectural design’s technical and political tools. The examples, attempts, and successes of the recent past are not few, and it is crucial to analyze and remember them; it is from them that the resources of an architecture ready to face the challenges of the present come.
