Cities Under Pressure illustrates a new design paradigm, an open intervention system that seeks the establishment of a dynamic equilibrium; it imagines and defines new urban environments that abandon rigid design scheme in favour of growing evolutionary mechanisms capable of embodying the ongoing sustainable transition.
Historical evolution and processes
of cultural and economic globalization have brought out relevant and
frightening risks on a global scale: from urbicide and violence to climate
change and an increase in natural disasters, but also an enormous widening of
economic and social inequality. Today, humanity as a whole is facing epochal
challenges that require a radical metamorphosis of inhabited spaces. Cities Under Pressure illustrates a new
design paradigm, an open intervention system that seeks the establishment of a
dynamic equilibrium that is continuously renegotiated. Cities Under Pressure imagines and defines new urban environments
that abandon a rigid design scheme in favor of growing evolutionary mechanisms
capable of embodying the ongoing sustainable transition, so as to guarantee a
resilient and peaceful future.
