Pochi articoli nel dibattito sulla pianificazione hanno generato sia indignazione che fascino come 'Non-Plan: An Experiment in Freedom'. L’idea del Non-Plan è quella di abbracciare un approccio più sperimentale allo sviluppo del territorio, osservando cosa accadrebbe se le persone fossero libere di scegliere come trasformare i loro ambienti di vita. Come mostra questo paper, i professionisti e gli studiosi hanno percepito l’utilità e l’applicabilità delle proposte del Non-Plan in modi alquanto ambigui. Il gesto iconoclasta di Reyner Banham, Paul Barker, Peter Hall e Cedric Price è atto a sconvolgere gli schemi di pianificazione tradizionali, rivelandone le diverse ideologie coinvolte – e messe in atto – nella ricerca di ordini progettati. L’attuale livello di interesse e slancio intorno alla proliferazione di "piani per le società" rende il Non-plan un articolo ancora provocatorio e coinvolgente. Le reazioni suscitate dal Non-Plan possono essere un avvertimento per gli anticonformisti delle generazioni passate, presenti e future.

Abstract
Few articles in the planning debate have generated as much indignation and fascination as 'Non-Plan: An Experiment in Freedom'. The idea behind Non-Plan is to embrace a more experimental approach to spatial development by exploring what might happen if people were free to choose how to transform their living environments. As this paper demonstrates, practitioners and scholars have perceived the usefulness and applicability of the Non-Plan proposals in rather ambiguous ways. The iconoclastic intervention of Reyner Banham, Paul Barker, Peter Hall, and Cedric Price sought to disrupt conventional planning frameworks, exposing the different ideologies involved - and enacted -in the pursuit of planned orders. The current level of interest and momentum surrounding the proliferation of 'plans for societies' makes Non-Plan an enduringly provocative and engaging contribution. The reactions elicited by Non-Plan may serve as a warning to nonconformists of past, present, and future generations.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
