talkAldo Rossi. Ecologieby Vincenzo Moschetti
A lecture from Stan Allen on how architecture can and is responding to the complexity of the modern city.
What is needed today is a new mentality that can see infrastructure design not simply as an engineering execution but as something capable of triggering complex and unpredictable urban effects.
A theorist and exponent of post-criticism, Stan Allen has developed an extensive catalogue of innovative design strategies in recent years, looking to the ex-urban landscape and ecology as models for revitalising design practice. These themes are the focus of his recent book Situated Objects. He explains how a building does not end in its walls but constitutes the node of a complex field of social relations, ecological systems, cultural norms and local histories.
