Abstract
In the contemporary world, active ‘practice’ of metropolitan space has become more structural and more involved and widespread, with a perspective that is necessarily welcoming and inclusive. The city is increasingly seen as an experiential field (Scotini, 2003) and the processes of reading, interpreting and implementing opportunities offered by the urban context have become more mature, more culturally aware, and sensitive. Meta-design actions, are aimed at a recognition of the value and potential of public spaces, through a descriptive approach (Dematteis, 1995) of reading, decoding and ‘context providing’. ‘Proper’ planning actions may then be aimed at activating these spaces. In this way, dismissed or forgotten spaces, abandoned places and unused areas, change from ‘swamplike places’, outside of official maps, to become paradigmatic examples of urban spaces, filled with meaning, value, shape, and opportunities for creative re-signification and appropriation by the city.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
