Abstract
This paper presents the results of a research that was carried out in several contexts: Research MIUR-PRIN 2008, OU Politecnico di Milano, Local Responsible prof I. Valente, titled "Architectural, urban, environmental transformation, regeneration and improvement of cross-border housing fabrics. Methods, tools, and projects applied to the assets of Milan western sector."; in didactics for the thesis and in the Design Laboratory of Sustainable Architecture, Master Degree in in Architecure, School of Architecture and Society, Politecnico di Milano, prof. Marco Bovati. Inhabiting is considered as the essence of architecture, the aim that guides the formal and technical construction of the space. Inhabiting is intended in a wider overview: inhabiting the built space, the open space and the ‘relations and connections’ system. In this frame, sustainability is not only considered in its climate-environmental implication, but becomes a new strategy of city’s control by citizenship. People claims public spaces with a participate design and management, to enable the community to control themselves and encourage the implementation of sustainable strategies in the social. This is particularly important in typical contemporary urban landscapes’ contexts, complex and heterogeneous places, issue of stratification and interaction of natural and artificial signs' presence. Through the application of sustainable regeneration strategies of marginal urban tissues, was possible to develop specific projects able to generate methods operable in similar situations. The design issue is the Milan western sector and it has been synthesized through the formulation of strategic diagrams and key words identifying aim such as: re-linking between open and built spaces; re-meaning disused areas, development of sustainable mobility and design of a metropolitan parks system, improvement of significant pieces of agricultural land, water networks and rural paths.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
