Proiettare visioni per orientare decisioni

The governance of urban transformations — following a deterministic and deductive logic — is usually managed according to consequential phases starting from urban planning and ending with architectural design as a final step. When the whole process jams because it can no longer cope with the complexity of urban dynamics, research through design overturns the usual process and puts architectural design first. Thus, enlightening visions can be cast, in order to break through impasses and turn wasted industrial wrecks into valuable urban resources.
