The text reflects on the experience of "Seminario Tre" to redefine the approach to architectural research, taking the study of architect Bogdanović’s Yugoslav memorials as a starting point to open a broader discussion on the role of invention in architectural design. A clear distinction is drawn between innovation and invention, highlighting how the latter - often overlooked in academic research criteria - is central to design education. The author asserts that design is a language capable of translating abstract concepts into spatial forms and defends design experimentation as a form of autonomous knowledge.

Il testo riflette sull’esperienza del Seminario Tre per ridefinire il proprio approccio alla ricerca nel campo dell’architettura, prendendo le mosse dallo studio sui memoriali jugoslavi dell’architetto Bogdanović per aprire una riflessione più ampia sul ruolo dell’invenzione nel progetto architettonico. Viene proposta una distinzione netta tra innovazione e invenzione, sottolineando come quest’ultima – spesso trascurata nei criteri della ricerca accademica – sia invece centrale nella didattica della progettazione. L’autore rivendica il progetto come linguaggio capace di tradurre concetti astratti in forme spaziali, e difende la sperimentazione progettuale come forma di conoscenza autonoma. Il testo si conclude con un invito alla comunità accademica a riconoscere e trasmettere questa attitudine progettuale come responsabilità sociale e culturale, al di là delle logiche disciplinari e valutative attuali.

Abstract
The text reflects on the experience of "Seminario Tre" to redefine the approach to architectural research, taking the study of architect Bogdanović’s Yugoslav memorials as a starting point to open a broader discussion on the role of invention in architectural design. A clear distinction is drawn between innovation and invention, highlighting how the latter - often overlooked in academic research criteria - is central to design education. The author asserts that design is a language capable of translating abstract concepts into spatial forms and defends design experimentation as a form of autonomous knowledge. The text concludes by calling on the academic community to recognize and pass on this design-oriented mindset as a social and cultural responsibility, transcending current disciplinary and evaluative frameworks.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
